bristle brush / bristle disc
I seem to remember a guy working with car body repair once referring to a bristle disc as a 'kråkereir'. This might also fit well with the strange 'slipemaneller', which might be taken from English 'mandrels', i.e. spindles for mounting the disc/brush.

crow's nest
Can't imagine this is anything else. It's a nautical term for a station on a vessel at height (usually on a mast of some sort), to allow a view over a long distance.
