Yep its a 150hr bike light for dark nights and when the pole goes out of site 80ft up- its difficult enough to see the brush. If you can get an extra 1/2 hour in during the dark days it adds up through the year.
I do have a £50 video colour camera and reciever from Maplins.

you may call it love at first sight

i like the camera concept   this must be the way to go
how can you possibly be sure that youve done a good jobon 3rd storey or even 2nd
storey    got to have eyes like a hawk

Its the Bentley/Tesco soft broom , the arm is a torquable  Unger swivel applicator turned sideways. Good for altering the angles and cills.

As it happens ARRGGGHHHH  :o  :o :o
Tesco ! have just put the prices up to a staggering £5 for the above AND ............they have another seperate range its similar to the old B&Q with narrow ends. Called the Tesco Indoor Broom £3  :-\

What happens if mr and mrs homeowner are are doing the deed on the bed when your camera pops into sight? You could have alot of explaining to do.

cant use a camera surely  :o.... i mean you cant see if its a good job on the second floor really,  floor above the same.... a camera wont be able to tell you if its going to spot,,,,,,,, or if you have left bits.... maybe good for bird poo, but i suspect its not there for wfp..... lol ??? ;)

The Bentley/Tesco mentioned is really available all over the place, Sainsburys Asda Wilkinsons etc its nade by bentley but sold to different chains.
In Woolies today the bentley/tesco is going out and the Addis has just been re supplied.

The new B&Q blue bristles looks good and is competittion for the Addis as its monofilament with good splay and has long bristles. Just a caution the bristle material looks like it may wrinkle.



Heres how I attach it also how to make a cleantech plastic fit an Unger and make it swivel both ways.

Blimey Jeff did you drive to B&Q especially? That looks like the one i saw, i think it had a silver/grey plastic cover on the top. If i can adapt the thread to vikan style (maybe the melting method) i think i'll try one.

Chucked the plastic cover, I think the Vikan metal thread may be forced in when hot, but you may have to expand the hole with a rough surform.

jeff do you have a brush that stands out amongst the rest? Something you can say is the best for cleaning and not trapping dirt etc. Regardless of how long it lasts?

Yep but sadly its no longer available so pointless explaining about it. Its in the brush collection pic  4th from left top row, it swivels, mono. Used it for last 10 years.

Jeff:

I'm trying out a new swivel brush when it arrives in the post, it weighs  0.015kg  Is that light? It is 9 inches and has mono filament. It's designed to clean tiles. I'll let you know how I get on with it when I've used it a bit.
