Title: pencil jets by mistake
Post by: bad trippy on March 08, 2012, 11:08:01 pm: Put a brush with pencils on me pole today by mistake.

I found them to be messy, pencils to can direct water better, interesting to hear why you think they are better

I prefer the larger area that the fan jet covers.

with fan jets its better to rinse on the glass.

;D ;D

Post by: richardlingard on March 09, 2012, 09:40:04 am: fan jest are the best ever, as a trial i drilled two whole in one of those vikan brushes and because of the thickness of the brush i was able to push them right in, i had the idea of changing between pensils and fans, since the day i fitted them i have only used the fans, and thats saying something because i have some very nice gardners brushes but am using a vikan instead :-)

it goes without saying the next brush i buy for gardiners will be fitted with the fans

Post by: bad trippy on March 09, 2012, 04:33:48 pm: Ive never found fan jets to be messy.
I would like it explained how ppl find em messy?

Post by: LWC on March 09, 2012, 04:46:36 pm: Messy - blasting water everywhere, pencils you can direct where your spraying. Fans just have a massive spray area.

I did kind of like them when i used them but i went back to pencils...would be interested to try new gardiner ones tho.
