Follow the advice of these guys and learn your new trade. It will come in time. I know one guy who asks for help and opinions, then goes off to do whatever comes into his mind the next day. He is constantly having troubles.

I wish that were the reason, Anita! I've got another business so I'm trying to balance both. Then when I'm not busy with work, there's a "honey do" list a mile long. :)

Hi Bryan. Can you give an update on that brush? I am going through brushes like mad and they all pretty much wear out way too fast.

Hey Ralph. It works great. It gets heavy cause it holds so much water, but It's holding up well. I rinse it out after every job. and put it somewhere it doesn't get smashed. I really like the way it's got brushes on the ends.

You hit the nail on the head with"getting smashed" All mine basically get disfigured and unusable.

I know those brushes well. They work well but they have a lot of heavy plastic and like you said, they hold lots of water which just adds to the weight. Gets old doing it jobs with high gutters. They shed a lot of water which can be a bit messy. I just use my water fed pole and brush most of the time.

This is the brush we have been using for two years. As Bryan said, rinse it out and store it so it keeps it's shape. The brush has lasted almost two years and is still in great shape. We purchased a water fed pole we have been cleaning gutters with that since August.

For those who are having a problem with their brushes spinning on your extension poles just wrap the threaded end with a finger of a latex glove. Keeps them in place.

Man.I bought some REALLY good brushes a few years ago,..in fact I posted about them on here and just looked up the post. The brushes were from Zoro,.and they were only $6.99 and free shipping over $50.00. I bought I think 10 of them at the time. And then another 10 later. Now I see the same brushes with the same item number is now $26.78,..Sheesh,..glad I bought as many as I did,..and these things last and last,..best brushes I ever used,..and truth be told,..they are worth the $26.78

Like Eric we use wfp. Gardiner poles and brushes with fan jets fitted. Very light and durable.
