Title: How long ?
Post by: wightsurf on September 12, 2008, 06:28:21 pm: I read all these different posts about brushes and cost but how long does your brush last? And who uses a different brush say for first clean or bad wooden frames ect.

thanks for your replies

I've been using my vikan fan jet brush head for a year now, it's only rubbed down a little on the sides but it's still working great. I use it for everything inclucing upvc jobs. (I don't clesan my teeth with it tho! ;D) I've gone through 2 poles and a replacement section of my current pole pole in that time! >:( I use the grey coloured xtel pole.

i go through some money on connectors ez snap fittings last about 6-10 weeks and my brass hoze lock for my hose reel last about 2 months it really pees me off when i get leaks some one should invent a indestructable connectotres that last forever i would save a fortune.
