Awesome Brushes

Process X reveals the processes behind making objects we rarely think about. Case in point: the spinning brushes found in carwashes and on street sweepers. The Kyoshin Giken Co. makes these brushes by chopping up plastic bristles, setting them into a metal channel, then bending it into a spiral. Then it’s time for a haircut.

This water-powered, high torque cleaning brush scrubs tough to reach spots like inside of car wheels, bike frames, and even inside of exhaust pipes. This deluxe set includes a tapered brush head, and 0.1mm and 0.25mm soft bristle brushes.
