    Rotary carpet brush. Polisher or Drill

    Looking to purchase some brushes for carpet and fabric. Like the idea of using a polisher but read some complaints about the backing peeling off.
    Any thoughts or preferences?

    Don't get the brushes that attach with a velcro, get the ones below:

    Re: Rotary carpet brush. Polisher or Drill

    I would suggest using brushes made for drills. Having a battery powered drill is so much more versatile and less bulky to manage when trying to reach tough spots.

    Also, I prefer any opportunity where I don’t have to take off the backing plate off my polisher.

    If you do prefer using a polisher, make sure you get a quality brush. Here’s an example of a bad experience I had with a low quality brush..

    I like the idea of a polisher mounted brush. Just seems due to the low profile it would be easier to get around. If I go that route I might just buy a cheap polisher and dedicate it to brushes

    I like the cordless drill system. Smaller, nimble, easy to use, pop on and off your cordless drill just like bits. You can get a set of 3-4 various sized around for cheap.

    Go with ones that attach to a drill...
    Multiple sizes help get into those tight spots
