I have been using the Tucker dual trim brush for a while now. Have to say I am really impressed with the performance. The hogs hair hybrid version is excellent at removing snail trails easily. Anyway, I thought I would but an informative guide together and visited other window cleaners in the UK for their views. This is what they said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtY0CJNfwPg

I did think at first that the corners of this brush may damage the soft wood of sash windows for example, and Tucker did say they could provide a bumper trim. After using it on sash windows, there was no longer a need, and it caused no such damage.

Tell me what you think> Are you using a Tucker brush right now?

The original ones were the best if you got an electric sander and trimmed the weight down to approximately half. The newer ones are too heavy but scrub very good. For first cleans gives confidence knowing that windows are thoroughly clean but excessive effort required as these hug the glass too much giving less resistance to slide easily. Hogs hair is the best scrubbing bristles going but glide is terrible....unneccessary overkill in the uk. 
Extreme brushes high work, sash and georgian windows. Everything else use a  reach-it brush as the scrubbing brush scrubs brilliantly with minimal effort, reaches the right angles without changing the gooseneck angle and the swivel is the best one available including gardiners which is good.

yep the old tucker brushes where great but heavy, how light is the new version out of interest,

[Dave Willis]

Expensive too.

Hopeless on Georgian windows and splay to much on most glass there spay and design is best suited to commercial glass imo,good splay is over rated on domestic Windows I don't think its needed an average splaying brush works much better,the new Gardiner ultimate brushes are the closest thing you'll get to the perfect brush in cleaning power weight and splay combined. A brush with hogs hair through the middle is a sales pitch,an ultimate flocked in weight and cleaning power beats it hands down. I've used that type of Tucker and it's almost un usable on leads the outer white nylon bristles make the brush jump like billy o.

Also the design of this brush is not new it has a different stock making it look updated,I had the same brush converted onto a different pole by gluing a threaded insert onto the stock of the brush 10 years ago. They also deform very easily the amount of times I had to dip it into hot water to reshape it was ridiculous.,at the time they were a better alternative to the vikan bricks that were and are still being sold.

[slap bash]

I am tired of new brushes. They have reached a saturation point with brushes each one claiming to be better at scrubbing so no breakthrough then. They are all just brushes and we B/S ourselves one is better than. Its a case of something new to play with in what is a very boring job. So to make it interesting they have made more brushes to try to make out " we are a hi tech business". The first brush I every had is a Gardener I think it was the first splayed brush and this is still the best brush "it does the job." The most hi tech job we do is making pure water and we hear very little about it. There is a multitude varied viewed opinions on the subject.

Tucker hybrid is an awesome brush ...

The best thing i have learnt from this thread, is a smarter way to link my four pencil jets up. Thank you Mark from london.

My linkage


Marks:


Switching them over tonight.

[Tony dunmall]

Use them whilst you can, they used to be really good and I'm sure they still are

I reckon if you all keep using heavy brushes you'll all end up like me restricted to an extreme brush, due to recked  body from over 20 years of poleing,

Tried a ultimate and even that's too much after a couple hours

So need to get of the tools 

[NWH]

They are nothing special those Tucker brushes they deform more than any other brush if they've had something laying on them in the back of the van they need dipping in boiling water.

[duncan h]

Got rid after 1 hour. tried it on my own home, then put it on ebay. It Didnt feel good and I rinse on the glass anyway.
What pole is Simon using in the vid. Its horrendous

[NWH]

Lees probably been given a load to plug I'd expect,they are old hat they are among the first brushes used in WFP but if you put a bright red stock on em us WFP idiots won't be able to tell any different eh 🙄

I don't think any of Lee burbidge's recommendations carry any credibility!
