Does what it supposed to Jul 15, 2010
What can I say... it's a grill brush. Nice heavy wooden handle, not plastic that can melt. Bristles packed very tightly. I generally replace these on a yearly basis, so it's not like I'm looking for any long term performance. Typical Weber quality. As for the rounded scraper not fitting on ceramic grates as others have pointed out... would not attempt to do so anyway as the ceramic finish can chip.

Good Quality Product From Weber Jun 09, 2010
I have owned mine for over a year now. I use it about 5 times a week and you can hardly tell it's been used. I highly recommend this for all grillers.

A good grill cleaning tool Aug 12, 2009
Weber 6422 18-Inch Grill Brush and Scraper
Our 10-year old Weber 6422 grill brush wore out and we replaced it with the same model. The current model has steel bristles, while the older model had brass bristles. Weber probably switched to steel to reduce their manufacturing costs (brass is more expensive), instead of staying with brass and simply raising the price to cover their costs.
In any case, steel should last longer than brass bristles. Brass is better on softer materials that could scratch, but for stainless steel (or steel) grill racks, steel bristles are better since they are stronger and stiffer than brass. The bristles do not appear to be stainless steel as asserted by other reviewers, since they are strongly attracted to magnets. Weber's web site doesn't claim the bristles are stainless.
The handle should be bent upward more, so you'd be less likely to bang your hand when brushing a grill rack that's still in the barbeque grill.
The 1/4" half-round scraper is the right size for Weber steel grill wire racks. The bristles are numerous, stiff, and plentiful, so they are effective in cleaning the top third or so of the grill rack wires. Competing brushes with fewer bristles or with the bristle bundles further apart can slip down between the grill wires, so they don't work as well.
This tool wouldn't be a good choice for scratch-prone surfaces. However, for the old-style BBQ grills (that use charcoal for fuel), this tool works well and is a good value.

 Picture looks like brass, but the bristles are steel Jul 01, 2009
I bought this brush because it looked like a brass brush in the picture and it was priced like a brass brush. Now I find on the official Weber site that this brush sells for $8. This item is a rip off. It says brush your enameled grill grates with this brush but that is a very bad idea.
Several of the previous reviews indicate this brush has brass bristles but the two they sent me have steel bristles. I have had two of these with brass bristles and thye were good brushes. But like a lot of other things these days they have cheapened the product but are selling the junk at high prices based on a previous product. They have left misleading reviews which discussed a previous product with brass bristles in place without comment. These sellers have the morals of Bernie Madoff although $26 won't make or break my retirement.
So it isn't what it appears to be and it's priced at 50% more than it ought to be. Avoid this item. If you want a steel brush get one for $8 at weber.
