Wire brush

Other wire brushes feature bristles made from brass or stainless steel, depending on application.

It is also used to clean surfaces and to create a better conductive area for attaching electrical connections, such as those between car battery posts and their connectors, should they accumulate a build-up of grime and dirt.

The origins of the wire brush are unknown, although it is believed that the Romans used similar tools in the manufacture of roof tiles.

[citation needed] A number of surgeons recommend that wire brushes not be used to clean barbecue grills.

[2][3] On May 20, 2020, American food writer and grilling authority Derrick Riches[4] called for a ban on the manufacture and sale of wire-bristle grill-cleaning brushes.
