Weiler 36303 1/2 Inside Diameter, 5/8 Outside Diameter, 302 Stainless Steel Bristles, Turbo Tube Brush, Made in the USA

Plumbing

Broke of the shank first spin, bad design dont buy. Use manual one will work be better.

This tool works well to clean copper inside and out--all in one tool. Also, it helps reduce wear on your joints from repetitive stress. I havent used it long enough to discuss longevity, but its similar to other manual brushes we all use and replace periodically for best results. As far as instructions, there arent any. So to clean inside fittings, make sure the narrow brush is extended just as pictured on Amazon. To clean outside pipe (or street fittings), pull the narrow brush all the way through the drum brush inside the red plastic. This exposes the round, drum brush inside. You should NOT be running the brush inside the pipe (or street fitting) while attempting to clean the outside. This is wrong. You need to draw the brush into the red plastic part and through the drum brush entirely then clean the outside of a pipe or street fitting. Conclusively, you dont just leave the tool as pictured and merely clean inside and outside. You need to make an adjustment depending on inside or outside.

They look great brother break very easy dont last

These wear out just as fast as every other brand I have tried. I works just as good too. The price was good on the 1/2 and 1 but the 3/4 was a little high. Will look around for a better one but I was happy with the tool

Definitely speeds up the process while cleaning copper pipe. The lower drill speeds work well, thus saving wear and tear on the brush.

Disliked, broke right away, cheaply made.

Alright folks, listen up! Yes, there are design flaws. But they are very, very easily remedied. Read on for how to overcome the problems with this awesome hella timesaver tool! The problems mentioned in other reviews are correct. The design is such that the problems are unavoidable. 1. The OD cup detaches from the shaft. When plastic is attached to metal in a tool specifically used for torsional stress, it will eventually break (sure wish things were still made of metal!). One can hasten this break by using an impact driver, or operating at too fast a speed, or pressing the cup too deeply onto the pipe. Even if one does none of these things, the plastic will eventually break where it bonds with the metal shaft. 2. The ID brush spins loose out of its mount. This only happens if the tool is used in a clockwise rotation (righty tighty). This is because the spiral wire that forms the shaft body is spun in a counter-clockwise manner. How to fix the problems: 1. Add a hose clamp around the skinniest part of the plastic, where it attaches to the metal shaft. You could probably also encapsulate it in some JB Weld if you really wanted to overdo it. Definitely use a low speed setting on your drill/driver. Consider not using an impact driver. And do NOT push too far down the pipe -- you only need 1/2 to 3/4 polished. 2. Set your drill/driver to counter-clockwise use (lefty loosey). Thats it! Just run the drill backwards when using the ID brush. Dont let the design flaws of this kickass tool keep you from buying it. If youve made it this far, youre already someone who can easily overcome the problems. Just make a sure you buy a tiny hose clamp at the same time (NOT a spring-style clamp, you want a worm-gear style).

Great idea. Poorly made. Broke after one use. In a shop. Under ideal conditions.

Hook one of these up to a small cordless drill (to limit torque, speed and bulkiness) and throw it on your tool belt, and youll have super clean copper pipes in seconds again and again. Buy this. You wont regret it.
