Swivel problems can you see what it is??

So here are some other swivel for brushes from other manufactures.
If you check them they all have the same mechanical problem.
Can you see what it is??

Their all the same colour?  I would say the colour but I think it's not politically correct to say anymore.

Don't think that would effect the mechanical operation ???

Is it the size of the screw holes or the number 2 on the last one?

I don't know but I'm sure there is going to be a game changing answer.

Hold onto your seat belts chaps.

I think you’ve got the problem Herman.
My Gardiners swivel works very well and at a price I’m happy with.
You’ll probably say the pivot point is too far away too.
They will all wear eventually due to friction but can’t say I’ve found it to be much of a problem.
I would hazard a guess you don’t use or own any of them either?
So, they all share the same problem which is you didn’t invent any of them.

HA HA HA No didn't .
And yes you right I don't use any or own them.
They all have at least 2  mechanical problem.

Nothing game changing about it just common sense.

I just figured it out. There are no screws to hold the swivel to the brush stock

don't be silly - the answer is clear - they are all professionally manufactured and work

unlike Hermans which will be a couple of melted bits of plastic and a six inch nail hammered through it

One of them is designed to be used on a fixed gooseneck simply because it's angled, the rest of them are fine.
 I started off using swivels which I made up myself in 2003 by stripping a Salmon tile grouting  brush of it's few very stiff bristles and cutting it down to the size of the swivels out today and laid it over the top of an original Tucker brush which worked very well as no one sold swivels back in them days. I did it to overcome an illness I had enabling me to work easier.

Personally, i've never been into swivels. But seeing all those pics, I feel strangely aroused!  ;D

I'm first. He cashed my cheque for 2 which, despite numerous requests and delivery promises were never sent. That was July 2007.

I can't remember who I use to share some of my ideas with back then. I know Gaz use to use similar Salmon brushes. I use to go by the name of easy clean when I started on here
