Tools and Hardware
Our tools and hardware range is four workshop basics, each for one job. For rust, loose paint and stains on metal or concrete, choose the steel wire brush. For wiring repairs and color-coding, the electrical tape 3-pack gives black, red and white rolls rated up to 600V. For drilling holes to a consistent depth, the stop collars fit metric bits from 3 to 16 mm. For scale models, the decal kit pairs a felt-edge squeegee, curved tweezers and a clear ruler. The table below lists sizes and limits.

Wire brush for rust, paint and concrete
The steel wire brush for cleaning has 8 rows of stainless steel bristles on a silicone grip handle with a hanging hook. Use it by hand to scrub surface rust from tools, grill grates and auto parts, and to lift loose paint, rust stains and grime from concrete, brick and tile grout. The bristles flex into crevices and detail areas, but the brush isn't made for grinding large flat surfaces. Steel bristles can mark soft or coated finishes, so try a hidden spot first, then rinse the brush and hang it to dry.
Color-coding with electrical tape
The black, red and white electrical tape 3-pack has PVC rolls with rubber-based adhesive, 98.4 ft in total, rated up to 600V for working temperatures of 14°F to 176°F. Use black for everyday wraps, and red and white to mark polarity, phases or a neutral line and to label cable runs. Wrap a clean, dry surface, stretch lightly, overlap each turn and press the end down. Turn off power before working on any circuit, and follow your local code for household wiring.
Drilling repeat holes to the same depth
Slide the drill bit depth stop collar that matches your bit to the planned depth, snug the set screw with the hex key, and test on scrap. That gives you a physical stop for dowel holes and shelf-pin rows. The bores are metric, so inch bits rarely match: a 1/4 in bit is 6.35 mm and won't pass through the 6 mm collar.
Applying waterslide decals to scale models
The waterslide decal applicator kit holds three plastic tools in a zip pouch: curved, non-serrated tweezers that slide a wet decal off its backing paper, a felt-edge squeegee that presses water and bubbles out from the center, and a clear 3.94 in ruler for lining up stripes and numbers on model cars, tanks, aircraft and mecha kits. The squeegee also smooths vinyl film, window tint and wallpaper.
Frequently asked questions
Does the wire brush fit on a drill?
No. It is a handheld brush with a silicone grip handle, made for scrubbing by hand. For drill use, look for a wire wheel or cup brush made for drills.
Will the wire brush remove paint from concrete?
It scrubs loose and flaking paint, rust stains and grime off concrete, brick and tile. Paint that is still firmly bonded may need a stripper or a power tool as well. Test a small area first.
What are the red and white electrical tape colors for?
They are for identification. Red and black are often used to mark polarity, and white to mark a neutral or to label cable runs. Follow the color convention your project or local code uses.
Can I use the electrical tape outdoors?
Yes, in protected outdoor spots as well as indoors. It is not intended for submerged or buried connections or permanent contractor installations; use a specialty tape for those.
Will the stop collars fit inch-size drill bits?
They are metric, with bores of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 mm, and drill bits are not included. Inch bits don't line up exactly with those sizes, so a metric bit is the cleanest match. Always check that the set screw holds before drilling.
Can the decal squeegee scratch paint?
Its edge is soft felt with no blade, so it presses decals flat on painted and clear-coated surfaces. Keep the felt clean, because grit trapped in it can mark a finish.
