Have these wire brushes bought to free the gutters and downpipes of the gazebo from old paint residues in the garden. The brushes do their duty without complaint and quite well. However, the 2 brushes I've used worn relatively quickly. Since this is only happening at the end of the work towards That did not bother me, because the brushes were always purchased just for this one-time action. Whether you get here for more expensive money better, more durable brush I can not say.
