That’s the 1st brush of that kind that I bought. It’s a great brush.

Is that the knockoff brand or the branded one....

Decades +, I have 2 in a bin, and one in the in use wheel cleaning tools...
I know there has been many examples, variants, look alike back when the branded one was the OG of them all....
This was before ALI existed as well......

I suppose even if it's not the branded one, it's close enough ....

Yeah, except he's saying they don't sell it anymore...or are you saying he can get a non-branded one easily?

I've cut out the middle man! In most cases they arrive in 5 days!

Got mine from ag…. Plastic trim piece fell off within a week.

If you want the best detail brushes I’ve found look into WorkStuff.

I bought one a few years ago for wheel cleaning, it lasting only a couple of uses before the head fell off. The timber handle swelled and cracked the plastic bristle holder. The vendor told me to superglue it back together. Vowed to never buy wooden handle brushes again.

Sounds like a pure piece of junk.

Nope! I’ve bought over 50 of them in the past four years and put each of them through hell before discarding them.

They’re amazing.

Many of these kinds of products all come from the same place with with the only variance being the colors of the plastics. You might as well get them as cheaply as possible.

I grabbed a set just like what DFB showed, except the handles are black plastic. Found them in the meager auto detailing section of my local farm/tractor supply-like place. I think I got 3~4 different sized brushes in a package for about $6. They have held up pretty good for me so far.

I'm going to keep an eye on my local Ollie's. At times their detailing aisle is interesting

I suspect they might be totally fine for interior cleaning or other general-purpose jobs, but soaking in a bucket of water while cleaning wheels didn't do the timber handle any favors.

I used one as you stated and when it broke down I decided to used second one to do just shoes with same results.

Any rush not left to dry right will crack the ferrule though.

Mind didnt crack… just fell apart. I get what you’re saying but I feel a brush should stand up to any duty. Why once I tried work stuff I stop trying other brushes.
