Do not know what is the price for it but think the same results you can get using rotobrushes on your battery drill

I have an evolution of the Rota Brush for stairs that fits a variable speed polisher/angle grinder.

I only have 5 of them. They came in late last week and not got round to getting them online yet.

They look like this.

Feedback on the initial one has been great hence testing the water with another 6 before full stock ordering.

These are great,been using them for years in automotive cleaning... Jamie do you supply the whole range? The brushes are different colours and different levels of stiffness

Would they be able to fit a buffing pad?

I have a Texatherm Minitex and am very happy with it. Very useful for doing stairs.
