The Walter Allsteel 13W551 is a 5-inch knotted wire wheel brush designed for heavy-duty surface preparation and cleaning in industrial environments. Part of Walter's value-driven Allsteel line, this brush delivers consistent performance without compromising on safety or durability. It is specifically engineered to handle tough cleaning tasks on steel surfaces, making it an essential tool for metal fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and construction sites where rapid material removal is required.

Featuring a rugged twist knot construction, this wheel provides high-impact action to remove stubborn contaminants such as heavy rust, scale, paint, and weld slag. The 5/8"-11 threaded arbor ensures a secure and quick attachment to compatible angle grinders, minimizing downtime during tool changes.
