The wire brush is a bit on the large side so the Gridfinity container needs to be 5 units tall. The Knips by itself is already encroaching on 3 units so the addition of the brush will fill the remaining space nicely. Both tools are around 12mm tall, 0.5 units tall should make for a tight but doable fit for the height.
