   i am currently cleaning up my engine thats out of the car i have a wire brush kit for my drill but find that a drill and brush set are too big and bulky to get into the tight area's
   
   what do you recommend? i need to remove paint and abit of surface rust? would a dremmel work?
   
   thanks

   Dremels are handy tools plus you can buy small wire brush sets as well(hand brush 1`s)
