Weighs nothing amd beats the bentley hands down.

you forgot to mention that an addis broom head, does not have jets in it already or hose and y connector, some people do not have the time to sit there drilling out brushes etc, and for the time it takes it is cheaper to buy them IMO, as my time is limited.

yes but it takes moments to add two holes and a y piece and jets from another brush.

Jeff Brimble gave me the Addis one, it seems really nice from holding it but I need to jet it! Luke
-
this is the Addis, mine is white with black bristles it comes with stiff or soft filaments.

The addis brush is indeed really good,been using it for 6 weeks,not worn at all, just losing a few bristles mainly due to a slip of the drill when modifying ;D.
Overall the best light brush I've used,mind you it's pricey,£4.00 compared to the £2.00 bentley ;D

im currently using a bentley, its a nice light brush BUT the bristles splay and block the jets :( ive taken to rinsing the top of the window at the end of the clean by running the brush back and fore a few times, so the water runs down
-
I have tried the Addis brush above, but I found that the stiff bristles were too stiff for standard use and the soft bristles were just a little too soft when compared with the Bentley brush.
I do appreciate the need for a good lightweight all-round brush and at the moment I find that the Bentley is the best there is. I'm still waiting for that Gardiner bloke to get around to bringing out his fantastic new lightweight brush.
-
I must be really sad because Im very excited about this new brush! I can remember if you said but does it have a swivel or swivel option, Luke
-
Hey luke maybe you could get one for Christmas!!!
-
vikan rectangular, mono or flocked. just butcher it if you must have it lighter.
IMO the GOOD bit has priority over the LIGHT bit. ;)

IMO you can't have the good bit without the light bit :)

It won't have a swivel option but we sell a swivel adapter already which will fit.
-
i allways used the vikan, the best brush you can use, mine was great
BUT
then i started to use the fishing pole and its a little heavy for it
-
I want Vikan bristles in a Bentley body please. ;)
-

Granted at 35+, I'll maybe give you that one.
BUT, for normal domestic work & 95% of situations under 35ft this weight issue is out of hand & just silly. we are, after all talking about just a few gramms in weight difference. this is when the good does infact very much out-weigh the light part IMO. I think people have got obsessed with this "must be light brush" issue & are actually making life harder by missing the main point- the GOOD bit! ;)

Then modify the vikan by shedding it's exsess black stock. do it carefully & right & you'll be very, very pleased with the result. ;)

Actually its suprising how much quicker a light brush allows you to be even on lower work because it allows you to move your arms quicker, I own the following brushes:
3x vikan flocked
2x vikan monofilament
1x ionics multipole dualtrim monofilament
1x super-lite brush
1x non jetted addis
Recently with the Super-lite and super-lite brush I have noticed both allow me to work much much much quicker. Light tools equal increased stamina which means more work more money and better cleaning results because your not tired and just cut corners ( especially on very high work ) Luke
-
Tony,
I would, but i can't get my head around the price of a Vikan at the moment - this is because i am a tight git! When my superlights get tired i can tap out the jets and make a new brush for £1.50. Whereas a Vikan would be over thirty pounds including delivery and vat (jetted). :(

I nearly give in again, but just for you dave, the vikan will last you at least a year.
This is my whole point, it's called false economy, you're life could have been so much easier from the start dave. I personaly would gladly pay 100 quid for the right brush.

Gladley? I wouldn't. I can see where your coming from though (once or twice you have been proven right). I notice you were asking about Alex's new brush a little while back - you don't need a new one surely?

No mate, they still going strong.
My comments are aimed mainly at the diy bog/floor brushes. i'm expecting alex's new brush to be proper/real. I don't care how much it costs, if it's better for me i'll buy it with pleasure. ;)

Have you looked at tuckers? they seem to have both requirements ie. good and expensive.

The time it's taking you to launch it, it'll probably be £200 ;D
