yeah ive seen Ashbys demo theirs on their website - ive just always fancied a go with a Bazooka but the new price of it puts me off as i wont use it that often

i tend to just use citrus solve and elbow grease but this job has loads so need to look to speed things up!!

A lot of cleaners have bought the Bazooka and then sold it soon after.
Basically, as far as I can determine, it is a slow speed power drill with a hard wire brush in the drill holder, obviously an extension tube inbetween.

  Save your money!! Had one and like Joe said re-sold it.  Rid-a-gum, steam gun and a wire brush is the easiest and quickest way iv'e found.
