Title: Price of Tucker brushes?
Post by: Nathanael Jones on April 22, 2009, 09:34:12 pm: I just got a price for a 12" DT tucker brush from a local supplier,.. and I was shocked! I thought Gardiners brushes were a bit on the steep side, but this was quite a bit more again!

Is my supplier ripping me off,.. or are they just that expensive?

Sounds good to me!
What would postage cost, as I'm in the South of Ireland?

I had one of them,.. the actual brush is very cheap,.. I can get them for about €12 each at a local supplier. They do a great job too,.. but HEAVY isn't the word!!!

Apparently the newer ones are lighter tho?

That's pretty much what I've been quoted,... I know they're good, but it strikes me as extortion none the less!

12" dt brush with head( which incl jets) : £54.54 + vat & p+p

when i brought mine last year, i just brought the brush on its own and fitted my own head and jets.
