Premium TwistLock™ Galvanized Wire for Twisted-in-Wire Brush Manufacturing
Brush manufacturers require handle wire that consistently withstands the twisting process without breaking, flaking, or compromising the final product’s integrity. Obtaining a wire with uniform strength and flexibility often involves navigating unreliable supply chains and inconsistent material quality. These sourcing difficulties can disrupt production schedules and impact the durability of the finished brushes.
WCJ Pilgrim Wire is proud to introduce TwistLock™ — our new galvanized twisted brush handle wire, built specifically for twisted-in-wire brush manufacturers. This wire provides consistent strength and hold throughout the manufacturing process. Read on to learn more about the specifications of this American-made wire and how it addresses common manufacturing challenges.

TwistLock™ Class 1 Galvanized Twisted Brush Handle Wire
TwistLock™ is a Class 1 galvanized twisted brush handle wire developed to withstand the mechanical stress of twisted-in-wire brush manufacturing. It provides the necessary holding power for applications ranging from industrial brushes to precision cleaning tools. The material maintains its integrity during the twisting process to create a secure and durable final product.
Its engineering provides a balance of strength, flexibility, and longevity. The product can be twisted tightly without breaking or flaking, and securely grips brush filaments. This consistency helps manufacturers maintain efficient production cycles with fewer material-related interruptions.
TwistLock™ provides several benefits:
- 100% Made in the USA: Domestic manufacturing prevents delays and complications from foreign sourcing.
- Tariff-Free: This removes tariff-related volatility and confusion from the supply chain.
- Built to Twist. Made to Hold: The material is engineered for strength and flexibility to hold bristles securely through the manufacturing process.
- Fully Customizable: Options are available for diameters from 0.88mm (20 Gauge) to 3.77mm (9 Gauge), tensile strength, coating, and packaging.
- Fast Turnarounds: Our responsive team provides quick service and ensures rapid order fulfillment.
We Take the Complexity Out of Sourcing
Managing separate suppliers for handle and staple wire complicates logistics for brush manufacturers. This approach requires tracking multiple purchase orders and invoices, which burdens accounting and inventory systems. Relying on international vendors can also introduce unpredictable costs and tariff-related delays into the supply chain.
WCJ Pilgrim Wire streamlines this entire process by manufacturing both twisted handle and brush staple wire domestically. Consolidating your wire sourcing with a single domestic partner removes these operational hurdles.
When you source both staple wire and handle wire from WCJ, you get:
- One supplier, One invoice
- No tariff confusion
- Total peace of mind
- Simplified shipping
- Expert advice
Wire Options for Brush and Broom Manufacturing
Brush manufacturing requires specific wires for distinct functions. Handle wire, such as our galvanized core wire available from 9 to 20 gauge, forms the structural spine for twisted-in-wire brushes. In contrast, staple wire is engineered to securely fasten bristles into a solid brush block.
WCJ Wire offers galvanized staple wire with gauges from 15 to 28. This material is available on 200-pound spools to meet various production demands. We also offer custom packaging solutions to accommodate your needs. To further simplify sourcing, we also produce extra-fine filament wire for specialty brushes and other industrial products like baling wire.
Brush End and Attachment Options
The end attachment for a twisted-in-wire brush is selected based on its specific application and stem construction. Brushes can be designed for manual cleaning tasks or for more aggressive, power-driven applications. A range of end styles accommodates these different requirements.
- Cut End
- Loop End
- Oval Loop
- Flared Wire End
- Wooden Handle
- Special Plastic Handle
- Plumbing Tool End
- Threaded End
- Threaded Wire End
- Pipe Nipple End
- Dipped End
- Tube End
- Plastic Tube End
The Importance of Wire in Brush Performance
The wire used in a brush directly determines its final durability, safety, and performance. The material’s physical characteristics are critical to both the manufacturing process and the longevity of the end product. A wire with improper specifications can lead to failures and premature brush wear.
Several important wire characteristics are essential for high-performance brush manufacturing:
Tensile Strength and Consistency: Uniform tensile strength prevents the wire from breaking during the twisting process. This strength also ensures bristles are held securely for the life of the brush.
Corrosion Resistance: The electroplated galvanized coating provides strong zinc adhesion. This is essential for brushes exposed to moisture and heat, preventing rust and extending product life.
Smoothness and Adhesion: A smooth, flake-free coating prevents peeling during manufacturing. This protects machinery from damage and maximizes tool life for greater production throughput.
Diameter Uniformity: A consistent wire diameter ensures smooth feeding in automated machinery. This prevents production jams and maintains uniform bristle density in the final brush.
Formability and Shape Retention: The wire is engineered to be flexible enough for tight twisting without fracturing. It then retains its final shape to provide a durable structure for the brush.
