Norton01727 Gray Norton Wool Pad

I bought these for restoring furniture, needing an alternative to metal-based scrubbers. This had all the abrasiveness I needed, but it doesn't rust. I've found it lasts longer than the heavier, scratchier, metal-based versions. This is a great addition to my battery of stripping tools.

Worked great

Worked better than I expected. I used it to remove surface rust from a gun barrel and to smooth out a tough spot on an old wooden stock. Did not have the usual problem with steel wool of it sticking into the tips of my fingers.Also used the steel wool to clean old pocket knives. With a little WD-40 sprayed on the blades I was able to clean everything off each knife and nd saa she then look good again without undue scarring on the blades.This product is a must have in a handyman toolbox.

Wife uses as a kitchen scouring pad. Since it's synthetic, no rust & lasts a long time. If used with reasonable downward pressure, it will not scratch the surface of a metal pot or pan. Perfect!!

This pad worked perfectly for lightly sanding between the coats of paint when painting a chair. I did not experience any shredding and felt it worked so much better than regular steel wool for this project.

scuffs up the surface of stained and poly'd wood between each coat, without really taking off too much. Works really well.

Good for taking off the shine without swirl marks, to fret buffing and fretboard cleaning before oiling. Doesn't fall apart.

Too expensive.
