Review on Formula 420 Detailing Brush Set - 3 Size Brushes - Cleaning Brush Pack - Formula 420 Accessories (3-Piece Set) by Alexis Hughes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Too flexible to clean things, too stiff to fit into tight corners.

The grip on these brushes is all wrong no matter what you intend to do with them. Want to put some pressure on that thick piece of glass at the base of the bong? The handles are probably too short to reach, but if they do, any pressure you apply will only bend the handle uselessly. Have a flexible/thin piece and want to bend it to eliminate tight corners? no i can't Sure, they flex, but they're too stiff to flex accurately when you slide them over a curved piece of glass. Pre-bending is rarely helpful for glassware I own. I want it to flex as I advance the brush. They are mainly suitable for wide, short, straight parts, e.g. B. for cleaning the underside of a stem. Everything else, iso+salt and sometimes iso+Qtip, is better, cheaper, and readily available. Other minor things: The handles are wider than the holes in about half the bowls I own. This makes these brushes pretty much useless for bowls. Cheap thin glass bowls also allow you to slide a metal handle right through the glass. I accidentally did this while trying to clean a cheap replacement bowl that had a brush hole that was too small. If you store three brushes together, the bristles tend to stick together like velcro. Doubly true if your brushes are a bit dirty, which is almost always the case.

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Very Expensive
