Why in 2012 is there brake dust? Nobody has figured out a way to deal with this?Many tons of this stuff must be spewed onto roads and runways every day. Can't be good.And I truly hate cleaning this. It really isn't dust, but rather a nasty, sticky substance that clings tenaciously to the wheels. I have tried the usual worthless cleaners and even tried to fabricate my own drill operated brush, but with no success.The Drill Brush had the right shape and presumably the right bristles to do it right, so I bought it. Attached it to a drill, dipped the brush into a bucket of car soap and...hey, it works! My car sits happily outside with nice shiny wheels and it did not take but a few minutes. Not bad at all.Things I learned: go with slow speeds. High speed does not help. I set my drill to the high torque, low speed setting and that made it easier to control. Don't do this while wearing a white designer suit. Use the reverse setting half the time. Don't press too hard. Let the brush do the work. It works on wheels with gaps between the spokes of around two inches or greater. Gratiot Garage sells a brush on Amazon designed for the lug nut openings and that would make a good companion to this one for many kinds of wheels.I only used the brush once, but it held up, didn't lose any bristles and looks like it will last. Again, not forcing it is important.It will not remove the debris that is stuck into the wheels. What happens is that the brakes shower off very hot particles and they burn their way into the wheels and this does not come off easily, so while the dust is gone, the black pits are still there.I am still looking for a solution for this. Perhaps a felt wheel with some sort of compound. And then there are wheel waxes that supposedly repel the filth and make the wheels easier to clean.The carmakers need to deal with this and come up with something halfway modern, but likely the materials they use now are cheap and wear out often enough to generate more visits to the friendly dealership. And I will try to stay away from wheels with lots of spokes and narrow openings.

I have not used mine yet. To get away from harmful chemicals, I used vinegar as my most common cleaner for toilets, sinks, tile walls and floors, and showers. Vinegar works well on hard water deposits, even long neglected deposits. But brushing is slow and tiring and hard on older wrists. This product along with a battery operated drill appears to solve that problem. If you drop a corded drill in water, you could be electrocuted to death in a split second. If you drop a 20 volt or less battery operated drill in water, there is probably little or no medical danger, except it could ruin the drill. If this product becomes a necessity for anyone with a battery operated drill, I think it will lead to specialized drill brushes with longer bits and different size brushes. I know I will use this product. I don't know the long term durability of this product. But to prove its worth, it does not have to hold up as long as a hand brush because of its ease of use compared to scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing. I can also see using this product along with vinegar to clean a pan that food got burned in it. Just be careful not to spin it above the pan as the charred food and vinegar water could fly and make a mess. The drill should be variable speed assuming that some el-cheapo drills might not be. It does not say, but I think this would work with some vinegar or laundry detergent to clean oil or other very difficult to remove dirt from rugs, door mats, car floor mats, and perhaps carpets. This simply feels like and appears to be just a nylon brush that is securely attached to a drill bit. It does say to wear eye protection. Yes, I know a fast moving brush will fling what ever dirt is on it into the air if you are not perfectly careful all of the time. A simple every day toilet brush will do this without being attached to a high speed drill. I think this product is cheap enough for the average owner of a cordless drill to keep a couple of these around for cleaning. I just thought of another use: Cleaning my stove top, use this to loosen the grime and then a dish rag to wipe the grime away.

You could use this to wash things that have surfaces you might worry about damaging. If you compare it to a typical toilet brush, for instance, it is approximately 50% softer. It would be too weak for washing car wheels, or any large outdoor object I can think of. I got it to clean my vertical juice extractor cup, which is stainless steel, and I ended up cutting the handle off a new toilet brush which is slightly too stiff. I think the next stiffer drillbrush would be perfect. They don't rate them in order of stiffness per se, but I think either green or red would be a good choice for one of these, at least for washing indoors. They have a great size that fits most containers. I'm glad I have it

Life changer. I'm a gal who's happiest outside in the barn or garden. My genes for cleaning are either non existent or latent. My favorite tool has to be an electric leaf blower. It's led me to the obvious conclusion that all houses should have a drain in the center with a foundation that mildly leans in all directions toward the drain. Happy house cleaning requires power tools. Hopefully never in pink. We have hard water so keeping up w the toilets can keep you from just tossing your commode away every year. Oh if you can on occasion go on vacation I'm telling you that no House/pet sitter will scrub anything but your liquor cabinet. So I pondered the useless battery operated gizmos lacking power and decided to search Amazon "Drill cleaning attachments" just in case there are others of my mind set. Woot!!! Ran over to Harbor Supply to get cordless drill three hours later battery charged time to speed scrub! (Think about it ... putting a corded electric drill into water ... ding ding ding a Darwin Award!) All three toilets in the house and tub drains are done and fun. Just buy this.

Great little drill brush good on alloy wheels, but maybe with a little more flexibility. Other than that perfect!

Not as amazing as described difficult to get into little areas but has reduced cleaning time.

Used this brush along with my cordless drill to clean the drain ports of my stainless steal kitchen sink. Brush fits perfectly in that port. A little dishwasher detergent, give it a 15 second spin and it looks shinny new again. I can think of many uses for having this brush but If this is all I ever used this brush for, it would be worth having it.

Works well for wheels and chrome. Also used on my bumper to get rid of surface rust.

Very good quality brush for cleaning the carpets in the car. Gets into the tight areas and the bristles are good quality, that is they don't bend and deform.
