OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Heavy Duty Cleaning

The Pferd 82166 is a premium 4-inch standard twist knot wire wheel brush designed for the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking. Engineered by Pferd, a global leader in abrasive and surface finishing solutions, this brush features robust .020-inch carbon steel wire filaments twisted into tight knots. This construction delivers a high-impact, aggressive brushing action capable of removing stubborn contaminants that lighter crimped brushes cannot handle.

Designed for compatibility with standard angle grinders, the unit comes equipped with a 5/8-11 UNC threaded nut, ensuring a secure and vibration-free connection. The precise balancing of Pferd brushes is a critical advantage in production environments; it minimizes tool vibration, which protects both the power tool bearings and the operator from fatigue (HAVS). With a maximum rating of 20,000 RPM, this wheel maintains structural integrity under high-speed rotation, ensuring consistent performance and safety.

This tool is an essential consumable for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) departments, fabrication shops, and pipeline construction sites. It excels in surface preparation tasks such as descaling structural steel, cleaning expansion joints, and deburring machined parts. The .020" wire diameter is specifically selected for heavy-duty material removal, offering a long service life even when used on rough surfaces.

FAQ

This wheel features a standard 5/8-11 UNC threaded nut, compatible with most North American 4-1/2" and 5" angle grinders.

The maximum safe operating speed is 20,000 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's no-load speed does not exceed this rating.

No, this brush uses carbon steel wire. Using it on stainless steel will cause 'after-rust' or carbon contamination. You should use a stainless steel (INOX) wire brush for stainless applications.

Knotted wire is twisted into tight bundles for aggressive, high-impact cleaning of heavy rust and scale. Crimped wire is wavy and flexible, better for lighter cleaning and surface finishing.

No, this is a standard twist knot wheel. Stringer bead brushes are much narrower for cleaning tight root passes in pipe welding. This wheel is wider and better for general surface cleaning.

The wire diameter is .020 inches, which is a heavy-duty gauge suitable for aggressive material removal.

Yes, absolutely. While Pferd brushes are high quality, wire breakage can occur. Always wear a face shield over safety glasses and protective clothing when using wire brushes.
