Comme ce gadget s’apparente à un hérisson et qu'il sert au décapage, nous avons d’abord pensé proposer "hérisson de décapage", expression certes plus élégante que "brosse à joints" mais qui risque de ne pas être comprise, contrairement à "brosse à joints", expression courante si on se fie au quincaillier Rona. 1, record 19, French, - brosse%20%C3%A0%20joints
