Title: Buying a Tucker brush.....
Post by: [GQC] Tim on October 26, 2010, 09:10:19 am
I'm having a look where to buy a Tucker brush from, it's a "bit" expensive. Just wondering if there are any alternative places to buy them from.

The latest aquafactors catalog prices the 9" Dual Trim at £52.78 excluding shipping.

J.Racenstein (USA) sells them for £33.94 without shipping and charges. Shipping with Fedex gave me a quote of $41.

Anybody else got some ideas on where to get Tucker brushes? Want to try one, but seriously expensive to buy one here in the UK.

I might buy one, send them to a friend in the states, and then get it shipped to me via USPS standard air.

Why not go for the 12 inch? you may find the 9 inch a bit small so takes longer scrubbing. Pretty sure you will not find the brush any cheaper in the UK.

IMO a good brush and should last but you do have to convert it. I only use mine on a tucker pole.

Aquafactors are the main uk agents, ring them and also ask about their own brand cladding brush, its light and soft.

I'm not quite sure what to do, I find the superlite brush quite ideal in size, and the 9" one is nearest to that, I think 12" is a bit too big for residential work, especially on georgian panes.

Jeff, is the cladding one good for conservatories/facia's etc as well?

I just had a calculation of fees if I would send it to somebody in the states, then he'd send it to me. It's £1 or so cheaper then aquafactors.  :-[  :D

Yes its for plastic-non scratch, but its light and should make a good w/cing brush on a c/f pole.
