Hi Guys,
Anybody heard from Gaz Hh20???
I ordered a brush(and paid!) months ago but theres still no sign of it.
I've emailed him a zillion times and spoke on the phone last month but still no brush.
I understand he was having computer problems and stock issues but its getting a little ridiculous now.
Anybody else waiting on a brush???
Cheers.
-
go to b and q mate thats where he gets them!
-
I spoke to him 2 days ago on the phone. He was just back from holiday.
I usually have to wait a couple of weeks for my brushes but they always come!
Do b&Q sell them? Where abouts are they? I've never seen them???
-
Ditto dave. Paid months ago, spoke on the phone etc.
And I spoke to him twice. Last time we spoke he was on holiday. Said he would catch up and send everything out end of this week.
But he did tell me that a few weeks ago as well.
He is always very pleasant. And his brushes are supposed to be very good.
-
I won't give up hope just yet then....
My brush may still appear!
-
It will arrive
Just keep at him! ;)
-
im in the same boat as you guys but i talked to gaz and he said this week he was sorting it, so we will all be smiling soon ;D.
i understan he has a family and a bizz to run so i have no problem waiting,he is a good bloke and he sorted me out last time ok.
just you have to do all the running.
-
anyone know where he gets his swivels from? I wouldn't mind a spare.
-
Whats his mobile no.
Gary
-
Anyone know how much Gaz charges for these brushes please ?
-
£20-£25
-
I don't know if this is of any help but I have a box of Gaz's brushes in the workshop and a box of his swivel adapters. Drop us a line if you want to buy one.
-
Alex, you have mail :)

Alex, you have more mail :)

Unfortunately gaz is not a good business man, if you want a brush, be prepaired to be fobbed off for a few weeks or google salmon brushes. anyone can buy a gaz brush off the internet with a little searching. its a bit of a con if you ask me, all they are, are floor sweeping broom heads made by a company under the branding of the salmon brush. all he does is put crap jets in & cheap tube & tee-piece & pass them on to you weeks later. :o

dont bother with the brushes unless you havbe a broom handle for them to go on they are crap!!!
-
I think that the swivel brushes he supply’s are great.
Many of you might be able to get these brushes easily, but for others we would never have known about or obtained them if it wasn’t for Gaz doing what he’s done.
Maybe he’s not quite the retail outlet we are used to for speed of delivery, but he only dose these brushes as a side line to help out those that are glad he supply’s what he does. And as for his brushes being “crap” I don’t agree, his swivel brush has transformed the ease and earning potential for me since acquiring it.
But.
That’s ONLY my point of view.

Hi jeff1
They are the last type that Gaz was supplying. They swivel in one direction which allows the brush head to swivel, simply by rotating the pole shaft. I've just put them onto the website under the Gooseneck section.

Ok Thanks Alex, I'll have a look at your web, I think its the same as the last 2 I bought from Gaz, and I can't seem to get on with them like the old one.
-
well i have to say at first i was a skeptic, everyone was shouting about how good they where,
so i order one from gaz, ok it took several weeks, but i was in no hurry as i used my brushes i had already,
i ordered the older style he first sold and his new edition, his first swivel is brilliant, and i could not do without it now, and you can see the work he has put into making them, only thing i worry now is when the brush wears down, gaz said hes not making them anymore, so might try and swap the swivel addaptor over to another brush head, i dont like the new swivel though, its not got the same control,

I didn't like the brush so i unscrewed the swivel, cut the neck off my rect' vikan, drilled 2 holes in it & screwed it on to that. works great.

macmac, i was told not to use the vikan as it was to heavy for the swivel, and if you happen to put to much pressure on the glass they tend to break, is it ok with you, is it the older vikan or the new rectancular one your using, they say its a much lighter brush

Its the new rectangular one (flocked), (although i've just ordered the new rectangular monofilament vikan too).
It's been on 2 months now & to be honest it gets some realy heavy use, its used on every job tops & bottoms. its on my facelift carbon. The swivel shows no signs of breaking at all.

My swivel will pop out sometimes with force but I wouldn't be without it for maintenance cleans. It's so good for odd angles at keeping the head flush to the glass. There must be someone or some other outlet that supplies them. I know Alex has a few but I would like to source my own.

How are you finding weight wise the rectangular vikan on your facelift, I've got an fishing pole set up and now use a lightweight salmon whereas the oval vikan seemed to weight a ton by comparison.

The oval vikans are not a patch on the newer rectangular ones, yes it's heavier than a salmon brush but works perfect on my facelift. Not sure how it would be on a fishing pole though.
Ive just ordered the new rectangular vikan with monofilament brisstles so this should weigh even less espesially in use as the brisstles will retain less water.
To be honest a few grams in weight or the price of a brush to me is not important but more so the quality of the brush in use. So far, for my method of wfp the rectangular vikan is the best every day domestic brush i have tried.

I think some people have said to much against gaz who was & is just trying to improve his own equipment & help other people. Yes you can buy them somewhere else, but he is the one making the effort, i know the person who adepted them originally & showed gaz, but at the end of the day he was only looking to improve on the vikan brush that most people sell with poles.
I use Tucker, but had one of gaz,s for general work with swivel & it does what it says on the tin, he adepted it for balconies, i have balconies he sold me a brush, i,m happy & he made a couple of quid. people boast on here of massive earnings so £20 is less than a hours work. Whays the problem.
I have purchased a ergo 60ft from ionics, we had to adept the gooseneck because the brush moved, there brush,s are easily burnt out but still better than vikan.
I think some have driven a member away who was always only out to help other w/c,s. It may result in other people not bothering or refusing to share little hints & adeptions that might help others.
I,ve seen some dodgy stuff,but, that person is onlu trying to improve there equipment for there use.

It's about being honest, i'm not disrespecting gaz but the brush he sent me a school kid could have made better, he could not have possibly looked at that brush & said - that's the best i can do. it was of terrible quality & yet he happily sent it & took the money (although did offer a refund to his credit) which i refused & put it down to experience. the brush & it's components were a joke.
tony
-
I think the majority on here are just genuinely wondering where he has got to lately. I have one of his brushes and a swivel and might want more. It may be he is just on holiday.
-
Ive spoke to him earlier before seeing some of comments . He aked if i had seen, so looked later, i feel he,s left the site.
I,m not sure what he has sent, because some people rave about the swivel.
Only that he felt he could not continue on this site now.
Gary
-
Wounded pride is one thing. A decent bloke driven off the site. You are a good friend to stick up for him.
Any chance you will repay me my £38 that he had off me several months ago for two brushes that are always just about to be sent out?
Well, Gary?
-
Are these the swivels your all after... ;D sorry for the bad pic..
-
They look like the ones Bazz, where do you get them from?

Alex Gardiner has just added them to his web under gooseneck
-
Until i know 100% Gaz is not going to do the swivel and the brush anymore i cant say where i can get them but once i know he isnt ill be glad to carry it on but like Jeff says you can get them from Gardiners..
Bazz...
-
I have one of Gaz's swivel brushes, I had no problems with deliverys from Gaz infact it was next day.
Its a bl**dy shame if gaz has been driven away, I've seen it done to other members aswell, Gaz is a decent bloke and is always polite to talk to.
I used my swivel brush every day and ended up having a little problem with one of the Jets, because it caught on some tree branches, but instead of throwing my dummy out of my pram, I bought some brass jetts and fitted them, No problems since and it looks good, I want to buy another couple, so who ever is going to sell them let me know.
-
Me too. Was there a particularly vicious thread I missed then? I kmow one member wasn't happy with one brush a little while back but I thought most others were fine. You can't please everyone. I had no problems concidering he's hardly a major supplier.
-
If he couldn't supply the brushes, he shouldn't have cashed my cheque,and now if from what your saying"he's been driven off the site" and has no intention of doing so, it's called theft.
Good bloke or not.

A few happy customers

Do you not have a phone number where you could contact him instead of posting on here.
He could have a genuine reason for the delay

bazzy thats not the original swivels gaz made, thats his new edition, personaly i prefer the first version,
-
Most people seem to prefer the first one, I've never tried it, how was it better?
-
this is a pic of the original swivel gaz made, the brush i got was blue, otherwise the same,
all i can say is that they are brilliant to use, i cant knock it, i just hope mines does not break
as i dont know what i would do without it,

I bought a couple of brushes off gaz when he first started selling them he was selling them more to help people out rather than making a profit. I found him to be very helpful and a nice bloke and he helped me out with several things but yes he could be a little slow sometimes but always come through with the goods. Hope he comes back on the site unfortunately when your selling equipment you cant please everyone and you have put up with critisim and we are not always happy with what we get our money. The equipment is not always satisfactory but thats business, at the end of the day if you are not happy with something or have an opinion on a product you should have the right to complain.

Hi
Gaz never 'made' these swivel brushes or retro fitted the swivel. The first swivel brush was made as a complete unit so someone must know where they came from as Gaz no longer does them. Just by looking at it, I think the new swivel is not a patch on the old brush he used to supply.

To be honest i had a couple of the new type swivles and didn`t think much of them at all,those new type ones are no different to the ones you get on swivle mops.I never use them but i cant comment on the first one people had.
-
Do a search on Salmon Canada

In the pictures above, the top picture (original swivel) the swivel looks like it is part of the brush but it is actually screwed on from underneith. the brush originaly had a neck on which was cut off. So, if you have an original swivel brush you can take the swivel off & apply it to any other brush the same way.

Hi Tony
Thanks - it looks as though its part of the brush - I apologise and stand corrected.
