New HF Drill Detailing Brushes

[Dr Oldz]

I see HF has some brush attachments coming out very soon for drills. (Search new tools at HF and you will find them. I didn’t know if Mike allows outside links) 7.99 for 5 brushes looks like a worthwhile gamble.
The pics show some cringy usages but for me I would like them for carpets and tires. I know Mike likes using a rotary for cleaning tires but I prefer using a cordless drill. I like the lower speeds and less sling plus a drill is more maneuverable IMO. (More than one way to skin a cat but use the method that works for you)

They May be good for household chores also.

They show as in-stock at my store. Cringy is right, not only do they show scrubbing wheels with them, but a plastic grille and a badge on the paint, of course they do also show a tire being scrubbed.

I don't get into Harbor Freight too often, but I'll look for them if I remember. Let us know what the quality is like if you try them out.

As long as the intent of the person is to help or share with others in a postivie manner, they are allowed.

If a person were to join with the sole purpose of spamming my forum in what I would consider to be a negative manner, then this person won't last long. LOL

Just to note,

I would use a drill brush if this is all I had besides the human hand. That said, it's a lot easier to hold, guide and use a rotary polisher with a brush as compared to holding a drill. Not a big deal, but there is an ease-of-use difference.

The reason why is due to the length of a rotary polisher as compared to the shape and size of a drill. With a rotary polisher, placing one hand on the head of the polisher and grasping the back of the battery, (for cordless rotary polishes), or the back of the tool, (for corded rotary polishers), you simply have better grip stations and dramatically more LEVERAGE over the tool and this helps you to use it more effectively with less work.

I have over 20 rotary polishers here for our classes and I own my own collection of rotary polishes, so I use brushes on rotary polishers for machine scrubbing. But if I didn't own a rotary polisher, I would for sure be using a brush on a drill.

All good stuff, it's nice to have options.

All good points. Great thing is now we have options. As long as the end results are the same.
