very small wire brushes

[mbshop]

I mess with all sorts of small stuff and I find that I constantly need small brushes. I mean small. this includes brushes that are round on the end. for sure nothing is available at local regular stores common to society these days. they also must be hand brushes
anyone use such a thing or have an idea who may have these ? thanks,

How small? Would rifle bore brushes work?

These are the smallest I've seen other than a bore brush.

Hmm, I will look at gun brushes. The sizes I need are much smaller than those from hf. Need flat and hole and round end types. Thanks,

 

[blackwire]

Was looking around HF website, maybe these would be better?

Thanks, will check those out. But in most instances I'm talking smaller than that. But I will check before saying anything further.

How about dental brushes (also called interdental brushes)?

Not sure what you're looking for, but search McMaster-Carr.

Would old fashioned pipe cleaners work? The kind we used in grade school for art projects?

Countless types:

If you go to a tobacconist, you will find other types too, like ones with plastic scrapers.

What exactly are you needing these for?

Lemax Hobby Tools has round 1/16 to 1/4 inch in brass and nylon.

Dremel wire brushes with a pin vise for the handle, made in many different shapes.

I have some that have been mentioned. What I'm looking for are ones that look like regular brushes but much smaller. Most round ones will not work. What I'm using them for is getting into small crevices and such. As of now I have not gone out to look at some of the suggestion but will do that today. Others I will check out online tonight. Imagine needing to reach into a housing to scrape or brush off battery corrosion or rust and the area accessible is 1/8th or less. Sometimes a tad bigger. I greatly appreciate all the suggestions !

For that, you want a file, not a brush. Something along these lines:
