Q: Will the Wicked copper pipe cleaner work on other pipe materials?
A: Yes, it will work on various pipe materials, but it's designed specifically for copper pipes. Performance, including finish and wear, will vary depending on the material.
Q: Why do you use aluminum instead of steel, since steel is tougher?
A: Heat is the enemy of this tool. Aluminum is used to conduct heat away from the polymer brush backing, ensuring longer life. Steel, being a heat sink, would retain heat and shorten the brush’s lifespan.
Q: Why is the shaft removable?
A: The removable shaft allows you to access tight spaces, such as behind sinks or between studs, where a fixed shaft would reduce clearance and hinder proper grip, making repairs easier in confined areas.
Q: Why should I buy this product?
A: Opt for the ”original” WICKED copper pipe cleaning kit, designed by, and for, master plumbers seeking industrial-grade durability. This isn’t for DIYers; it's built to last a career, not just a project, outperforming any, and all, cheaper imitations.
Q: What can cause premature damage and or brush failure?
IMPORTANT, this brush is designed to smoothly clean copper pipe fittings, using this brush to clean the inner diameter of pipe will destroy the brush. The inner diameter of the pipe is much smaller and attempting to clean this will cause a rapid loss of bristles and brush failure.
Q: How do I extend the life of my brush?
Wicked Brushes for cleaning copper pipe fittings are designed with high density soft bristles to ensure a smooth finish without excessive abrasion to the inner diameter of the fitting. It is important to only clean the straight portion of the fitting. Moving the brush deep into the curved portion of the fitting will squeeze the brush into an angle, exerting damaging forces to the shaft and bristles which over time will cause brush deterioration.
Q: Can I use my ID brushes for applications other than copper pipe?
Yes, absolutely. You may use your brush for most any application that requires removal of surface contaminates without the loss of the underlying material. This brush is especially good for applications that require a smooth finish. (NOTE THE FIRST QUESTION)

Yes, our Wicked brushes are composed of #304 stainless steel and will not rust.
