Swore by wire brushes for tube cleaning until I used a needle scaler on a superheater header

Thought it was just hype from the old timers, but after three hours of cleaning with a wire brush I borrowed a needle scaler from a buddy and finished the whole bank in forty five minutes with way less elbow grease, has anyone else had a tool they ignored for years that turned out to be a game changer?

Had a guy who swore by angle grinders until he tried a die grinder on his boiler tubes and never looked back.

Man, angle grinders still do the job fine for most stuff.
