Waldhausen Strohm Pick Wire Brush for Stud Holes
Description
Waldhausen Strohm Pick Wire Brush
The Waldhausen Strohm Pick Wire Brush is a compact wire brush especially suitable for cleaning threaded holes. It is best for riders who use studs and need to clear packed dirt, grit and dried mud out of stud holes before fitting studs or plugs, and for anyone on the yard cleaning threaded fittings on stable or trailer hardware.
The narrow pick style head lets you work into the thread grooves with control, so a stud winds in by hand rather than being forced against trapped grit. It is small enough to live permanently in a grooming box, show bag or lorry locker.

FAQ

It is a wire brush especially suitable for cleaning threaded holes, such as the stud holes in horse shoes, so studs and plugs can be fitted cleanly.
Do I need a tap as well as this brush?

How should I look after the brush?
Tap out loose debris after use and store it somewhere dry to help protect the wire bristles from rust.
Is it safe to use around the hoof?
Used carefully it is fine for cleaning shoe stud holes. Wear gloves and eye protection when brushing out grit, keep fingers clear of the bristle tips, and make sure the horse is held or tied safely.
Where is it made?
