Gearing up to remove paint from an old fireplace and I found a few videos on YT where people were using citra-strip and then going over the brick with a toothbrush handle wire brush. Some of the video creators tried the wire brush attachments for a drill but found them not as effective as the hand brush plus they fling stuff everywhere. The fireplace is exposed on 3 sides and rises to the ceiling so that's a lot of scrubbing to do by hand. I got to thinking that what I need is a brush attachment for my oscillating multi tool but on searching various hardware stores' and manufacturers' websites I didn't find anything like what I'm picturing which is basically a wire brush attachment for a multi-tool. Ideally this would be a few rows of straight bristles, essentially the same as the hand brush. It seems like something that would be useful in general but maybe multi tools aren't great for this application? Any thoughts you have are welcome
