Is this the right tool for your job?

✓CHOOSE THIS WHEN
  • Use to clean and restore paint brushes. Sharp, pointed stainless steel teeth penetrate bristles to loosen and remove old paint. Polypropylene handle unaffected by most common paint thinners.
✕CHOOSE A DIFFERENT TOOL WHEN
  • It is not a scratch brush.
  • Those pointed stainless teeth are for combing filament, not for scrubbing rust, scale, or paint off a workpiece — that is the attack side of this line (wire and nylon brushes), and using the comb as a surface tool bends the teeth out of register.
  • It is not a roller tool — there is no scraper face on it; stripping a roller cover is the two-sided 45960's job.
  • It will not dry the brush — combing leaves the fill clean but soaked, and a wet brush wrapped tight mildews; the spinner (43470) or a shake-and-hang is the drying step.
  • And it is not a substitute for washing — it finishes a wash and cannot replace one; comb a brush you didn't rinse and you just pack the paint deeper.

How the pros run it

01

Direction

always root-to-tip, along the filament lay. Combing across or against it crosses the fill and, on natural bristle, can fracture the flagged tips. Pressure: let the points do the work — they are sharp enough that leaning only risks gouging the ferrule lip or bending a tooth. Wet, not dry: comb while the paint is still soft from the wash; a comb is a cleaning tool, not a chisel for dried film. Both faces: flat brushes are two-sided — comb both faces and the heel gets worked from both directions. Clean the comb: paint dries in the teeth too; wipe or rinse it so the next stroke isn't re-depositing yesterday's job.

Asked before buying

BUYER QUESTIONS, ANSWERED BEFORE YOU ORDER
Latex or oil — which brushes is it for?
Both. Wash in the correct medium first (soapy water for waterborne, the coating's solvent for oil/alkyd/varnish), then comb; the stainless teeth and thinner-proof handle don't care which.
Will the teeth damage the bristles?
No, combed root-to-tip along the lay — that motion re-parallels the fill and rebuilds the chisel. Only cross-combing or forcing set paint risks harm.
Can it save a hardened brush?
A partly-set one, often — soak in solvent, then comb repeatedly. A fully cured, rock-hard brush is past it; forcing the teeth breaks them and the filaments both.
Will the teeth rust?
They're stainless — meant to sit in the wash water and the solvent tray without blooming. The exact alloy grade is not published, so none is claimed here .
Does it clean rollers too?
No. It's a brush comb; the roller-scraping face is the 45960's.
