A cone shaped wire brush extends from the housing opposite from the center leg so that the cone shaped wire brush can fit into a recessed opening to cleaned when the housing rotates thereabout. A protective sleeve is removably attached to the housing over the cone shaped wire brush so that an end of a copper tubing can fit into the sleeve onto the cone shaped sleeve allowing the inner surface of the end of the copper tubing to be cleaned when the housing rotates thereabout while the protective sleeve is kept in place attached to said housing.
