I had to use pencils today because my battery was going flat and the pump kept cutting out, so I stuck a brush with pencil jets on I could lower the pump speed and stop it cutting out, they are horrible, fan jets all the way.

why do you rave on fan jets guys ?

I found them to be messy, pencils to can direct water better, interesting to hear why you think they are better

They are only messy if you take the brush off the glass.

I prefer the larger area that the fan jet covers.

Nothing wrong with pencil jets as I use them as well as fan jets infact I have a brush with one pencil jet and one fan jet in it and them work fine together.

with fan jets its better to rinse on the glass.

I've never tried fan jets, so do you use more water with them?

fan jest are the best ever, as a trial i drilled two whole in one of those vikan brushes and because of the thickness of the brush i was able to push them right in, i had the idea of changing between pensils  and fans, since the day i fitted them i have only used the fans, and thats saying something because i have some very nice gardners brushes but am using a vikan instead :-)

it goes without saying the next brush i buy for gardiners will be fitted with the fans

Messy - blasting water everywhere, pencils you can direct where your spraying. Fans just have a massive spray area.

I did kind of like them when i used them but i went back to pencils...would be interested to try new gardiner ones tho.
