What is it called?

Some years ago I bought a couple of used, but still useful, wire brushes.

They were on shafts about 150mm long and were about 8mm wide at the end where the stiff bristles came out, so they looked like paint brushes with parallel shafts.

I found them very useful mounted in a drill for cleaning rust in confined spaces, and would like to find some more. I have looked online and in tool catalogues, but can't find them.

It would help if I knew what they are called.
Any Ideas?
Thanks. John.

Can you post a photo. I think I know what you mean, but a photo would be very helpful.

Sorry Simon, no I can't.

I threw them away when they became hairless.

Thanks taupe.

Last time I looked I could not find any, but now there seems to be loads. :roll:

Not sure what happened there.

Cheers. John.

Its just about knowing what words to use when searching ebay :D :wink:

For example if you search for 'Morris Minor' you may not see a lot of items listed as 'Morris 1000' or 'Morris Traveller'......
