New Brush to rival the best!
« on: February 04, 2008, 03:46:53 pm »
Well, maybe not, but B&Q had a very interesting blue mono brush for sale that to me looked VERY interesting. The only problem is it doesn't have a vikan type thread so won't fit my angle adapters etc. :(

Yes blue bristles (looked very professional and matched my eyes) it looked like it might be even better than the Addis as it was far denser and seemed to splay well and seemed pretty tough.

Yes Clean, It is difficult from descriptions, the written word often gets taken the wrong way and B&Q have different items in different stores. Is it worth me posting a pic of my B&Q brush or have we all decided I made the wrong assumption. ? or has someone else got a pic of the new brush ? posting pics takes me ages !

The B& Q one I was thinking about DJW is this one - bottom row third from left. Is it the same one you saw ? ( My Boss tells me that B&Q are this month  coming out with a complete new range for older people. )



Prob seen this but what the h...!  hedgehog,   :) for cills and frames and bogs etc

The old Bentley [Wilco/Asda £1.44] (comes in pink and other colours) is btm row, left. New tesco/bentley  is btm row blue 2nd from rt, But I took the broom handle adapter off it !
Will have to have a look in Wilkinsons on Sat. Wilkinsons are a pain they keep swoppimg the brands around the different stores.

Jikwan the light Bentley yard brush is top right.

Where do i get a black bristled Bentley from Jeff,the bristles are softer than the normal one and it`s almost fully mono.

No idea, have heard of a mono,  but never clapped eyes on one up here.
But Homebase have a silver backed "Prestige" Bentley that looks different fo about £4.99 Never looked to closely at it because of the extortionate price !
Let me know if you cannot get sight one and I will try to have another closer look and help you if you dont have Homebase over there.

It`s exactly the same as the old bentley we all have only it has black bristles,it`s like the new ionic bristle only softer with much better splay.

Jeff, that's not the one i saw. The one today looked a bit like a slightly larger Bentley in shape and splay but had bristles like the Addis but loads of them i think it was squarer than a Bentley. It looked really good to me, if the thread had been different i would definately have bought one or two.
