Luke, can you please let me know the exact weight in grammes of the Tucker your using? You said it's over 100g lighter then the Vikan, but how much?

Thank you.

[Captain Scarlet]

Tim my vans in the garage with my Tucker brush until monday or tuesday but until then and I can give it a proper weight:

Ok after using the Tucker more here is my Overview:

1. It weighs less than a Vikan, just over 100g lighter

2. It has superior cleaning ability on both frames and glass. And I believe that for every scrub done with the Tucker, two are needed with a Vikan to give an equal clean.

3. It retains less water within its bristles, keeping itself light and not clogging with dirt and dirty water

4. for higher work its great, because it more readily splays, it means if you are cleaning at different angles regularly and dont have a swivel this brush is great!!

5. It has more glass coverage than any other brush I have used of a similar size:

stock width of Vikan: 27cm
stock width of Tucker: 27.4cm

fully splayed width of Vikan: 32cm
fully splayed width of Tucker:  36.5cm

stock height of Vikan: 6.7cm
stock height of Tucker: 5.8cm

fully splayed height of Vikan: 14cm
fully splayed height of Tucker: 16.5cm

bristle depth of Vikan: 5.2cm
brislte depth of Tucker 6.2cm

Note: the Vikan had to be held very hard against a flat surface to gain its maximum splay measurments, in reality it would have alot less. While the Tucker didnt need so much pressure.

So basically, it weighs less than a Vikan, covers more glass and does a better job IMO

I compared it against a Vikan because this is what the majority use and know. Its also far better than the Ionic Multipole brush, Bentley, Flocked Oval Vikan, Flocked Rectangular and of course the Mono Rectangular Vikan. Im yet to compare it to the Addis and I may be purchasing a Carbontec brush ( the one that looks identical to the Tucker by Unger )

Hope this helps, Luke

Do you have a new Gardiner brush.

[Oakley Windows]

NWH can you explain how you fitted your jets to your converted brush please.?


Matt

[NWH]

Buy 2 bolt jets first of all,they have a thread on them which pokes through the top of the brush.Go to B&Q with the jets and by a packet of bolts and washers that fit the thread on the bolt jet,simply screw the nut down over the thread of the bolt jet this will secure the jet to the stock of the brush.

i have an omnipole/tucker brush

[Wayne Thomas]

My converted Tucker brush with a swivel from hillbrush after modifying the swivel to accept the jets.

[Captain Scarlet]

cool, does it help alot? luke

[Wayne Thomas]

The swivels do. Less moving around to clean the windows I'll never work without swivels, too much effort.

[[GQC] Tim]

Have you managed to weigh the Tucker yet Luke?

[jaykie]

Thats some serious amount of loose hose in your van Wayne Thomas.

[STEVE-UK]

luke - is it one of these you bought

[Wayne Thomas]

Thats some serious amount of loose hose in your van Wayne Thomas.

That's not loose hose, it's attached to 4 poles I do a lot of Balcony work 4,3,2,1 stories up and ride up in a lift, throw my 5mm bright yellow hose over the balconies connecting back to van mount and work my way down to the ground as it beats using a backpack. Trolley is no use because there isn't the access for one.

Steve, what's the web address for the swivel one in your pic?

[NWH]

Take off the plate from a superlite brush it`s far neater and easier to do,even with just that plastic that Waynes using your adding loads of weight to the brush it might not seem like it but you are.
