                        I knew they looked familiar... but yeah I remember using those way back when. I haven't welded in probably 20 yrs but something in the back of my mind kept reminding me they looked like something I have seen...

                        I use interdental brushes also. I bought a package of the small ones a few years back in Walmart. I drilled a hole in the end of a piece of sprue & super-glued the brush into it.

                        agreed. MAN, you'd have to be steady handed to clean a micro tip with that small set of files you have!! i shudder at the thought!!LOL. later.

                        Micro brushes are great stuff, IMHO.

                        To be honest only had to use the other tool, once.

                        i have a similar set of micro brushes myself MM. work great for reaching hard to get places, and leave no fuss or debris. later.

                        One member some time ago asked me what I use to clean my brushes with.
                        Can't remember who it was so I reply here, some other forum members might also be interested.

                        Here are the tools:


                        and the thingy unfolded:



                        As you can see(badly) it is simply a selectiong for very fine round metal files, but great for cleaninng nozzles and such.
