Explanation:
Thanks, Stephen; it now looks to me like a wire brush (for long life/service) with some sort of safety (barrier?) feature, rather than a plastic brush (for short-life!) for cleaning paint, or similar from surfaces.

BTW, the "Flachschaber" won't be much use if it IS blunt - it's just "flat", but may well be sharp...

long lasting guided wire brush


Explanation:
this is just a guess, i don't think that drill accessories are "safety" anything, but there are guided accessories...

reading through your source, maybe it has something to do with being insulated?
