Dog / Cat/ Horse brush

Dog / Cat/ Horse brush

It looks "brushy", but it is not what the object is.
You can see the layout of all of the "pins" of the object - so their number is less than on average brush.

Clue: if you did not identify this yet - the pins are metal, and they are "mounted" in such a way that they do not move sideways (in contrast to brushes). The "pins" are not flexible (so not like in case of metal brushes).

TIL what that thing was called.

 

[Zapp DJR]

Cleet cleaner or something used in welding?

No.
The ends of those "pins" are dull, and there is a reason for this.
