The thing i like the look of with that brush is that it has a flat stock which means with an adapter it`s a lot easier to get the right angle that you want unlike the other vikans with the angled thread.I wouldn`t mind trying the one in the picture that`s like the swivel with the bristles that are all the same length.

Diddy little square one on the right hand side would be a good gutter brush. Who sells them?

The hedge hog? That's what i was thinking - might not be too heavy either 'cos the stock looks small.

If that brush was slightly bigger it would be perfect for window`s,i don`t know why they havn`t seriously got into the WFP market.They have the product but they don`t have the input of the end user who`s hands on,if they think the mono square brush is the answer there way off.

it is an odd looking brush... ;D

taking a good look at it,  i really dont think it would be suitable,  the large slay out on the brush would bring all sorts of grit and dirt down from the brickwork around the windows, and if you look again, i think some of the bristles at the top, will not do deep  top frames upstairs properly, also because the  top will be hitting the wall above.

just my opinion lol   ::)
