Spoke to gardiners last week, they aware of it but reckon it's been tested and it won't scratch. I just called to say if I get a problem, then I have already logged this with them. They say it's a manufacturing issue!!!

This is not a fault or even a problem. There is minor staple penetration on the reverse of the stock in the two recessed areas either side of the socket. This will in no way affect the performance of the brush and would be impossible to damage or scratch a window or frame with. If anything it will make the the bristles more firmly attached to the stock.

If you look at the reverse of a tucker brush there is staple penetration across the whole of the back of the stock.

I file (using a rasp or sander) the back and sides of a Tucker brush right down to the staples or bristles to reduce the stock size and weight, similar to Gardiners SL lightweight brush.
SL brush is very good except for hard to shift, stubborn bird pooh and sick left on window panes and UPVC frames which is where the benefit of using a cut down Tucker comes into it's own in terms of better scrubbing power.
Wish Gardinerpoles would make a wider SL brush with more bristles fitted, then I might possibly be able to retire the Tucker brushes.
