The viral Derusting Weeding Wire Wheel string-trimmer attachment has taken over the internet like a storm. The product proclaims to be an "Unbreakable Wired Trimmer head Blade, perfect for Moss, Grass, Rust Removal, Paving Stone, Pavement Joints or Driveway" So, Here's a quick review and demonstration of this Rotary Brush Cutter Trimmer Head on all of those surfaces.
The Truth About Wire Wheel Brush Trimmer Attachments: Are They Worth It?
Have you seen those crazy wire wheel brush attachments making rounds on social media? These gadgets promise to transform your string trimmer into a versatile tool for rust removal and more. We decided to put one to the test and see if it really works.
Unboxing the Wire Wheel Brush
Our first impression was mixed. The box looked heavily photoshopped and the product seemed either European or Chinese. The label read "Dr. Rusting Weeding Wheel," which was a strange combo. Could it be a multi-use tool for rust removal and weeding? Time to find out.
Installation Woes
Installing the wire wheel brush wasn’t straightforward. There were no instructions, leaving us to figure it out ourselves. After some trial and error, we realized we'd need a specific nut from a steel dealer, costing an extra six bucks. Once we had the right hardware, the attachment finally fit.
Testing on Various Surfaces
Concrete
Our first test was on concrete. The wire wheel impressed us with its strength, easily scraping off gum and residue. It could be great for cleaning sidewalks or hard surfaces, though its power made it a bit scary to handle.
Pavers
Next, we tried it on weeds growing between pavers. While effective, the wire wheel also removed some of the paver material, leaving unsightly lines. It’s too powerful and damages the surface more than desired.
Grass
The wheel was useless for cutting grass. Instead of a clean cut, it mangled the grass, leaving it brown and unattractive. It also failed at edging, moving dirt without effectively cutting the grass.
Small Trees and Weeds
It fared better on small saplings and weeds, but not by much. The result was messy, and the plants weren’t cut cleanly. The tool seemed too aggressive for such tasks, damaging more than it trimmed.
Final Thoughts
This wire wheel brush attachment has its uses, but they're limited. If you need to clean tough residues off concrete or remove rust from metal, it’s a solid choice. For typical yard work like trimming grass or edging, it’s a poor fit.
These attachments are intriguing on social media but fall short in practical, everyday use. Stick to traditional string trimmers for your lawn and garden needs, and save the wire wheel for niche applications.
