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

The product broke after the 4-5 pipe cleaning. The unit puts torque on the plastic body of the outter brush and has small metal part that is supposed to support it, it doesnt, it came right out and the unit had to be used by hand for the entire job,

This COULD B A GREAT TOOL!! Ive tried these multiple times. Each time they work Awsome for a few uses. Then the plastic cup breaks around the hex shaft and one cannot keep the red cup spinning to clean the outside of pipe! Ive also found u need to spin them in the proper direction or at least only 1 direction always or it will wreck the brushs eventually as they r like angled teeth. The 2nd issue it the cup gets stuck and will not slide on the shaft. This is usually after the tool has been used and exposed to any water and the shaft rusts. I am an HvAc and Refrigeration tech and do alot of water heaters and other stuff. A Tool that Could b Great Value if Improved Mainly the plastic cup to Hex shaft issue and Id be on board again. Its that good when it works!! It replaced 2 tools and the brushes can b stored in closed so they r not poking ur fingers when u go into your tool bag to grab other tools! Wires in the finger tips is no fun!! Great idea needs some product engineer to look at the user reviews and address the issues. I have read a few Guys say to put a hose clamp around the plastic where it drives the hex shaft. I will try that and see if it is useful again. Will report back. I would Add I used mine on a impact driver and I definitely think that could have made it break faster. Maybe a drill would b easier on it. But u put a hex shaft on it most guys dont carry a drill in ther main bag anymore just in the truck. So 90% r going to use ther impact driver. Ive used Wielder brand (Red cup) and the Yellow cup brand, and the blue brand they all r built exact same so I think they just color the plastic and stamp a name on the side of diff brands.

I dont know what the review means by asking for warmth. This tool will clean copper pipe very quickly, but it does heat up the pipe; maybe thats what they mean. When PEX wont do, I still sweat copper and am always pleased at how much more quickly it goes using this tool. Bought my last one 4 years ago and it finally wore out, so I was glad to see that they still make these.

the product is a good idea and time saver however its poorly made the 1/2 is working thus far as intended but the 3/4 didnt even last an hour before breaking the outside wont spin having broken on first use moment it was inserted to clean the pipe.

Broke off on the first use. Looked like a good concept. Attached to light duty cordless drill, inserted into 1/2 copper, pulled trigger, snapped off instantly. Very disappointed.

Used it once time and its broken, its made out of piece of plastic!

High quality product

time saver, worth every penny but it should be cheaper

Huge time saver.

I renovated my bathroom, and installed a shower system using copper with 2 shower heads, 4 body sprays, and a diverter along with the mixing valve. I cant count all the joints I had to sweat, but it was a lot. This tool attaches to a drill and makes it 100X easier to clean the inside of the fittings and outside of the copper pipe. I could not imagine doing all that by hand, I would have arthritis if I tried. This tool was a live saver, I followed the guidance of another reviewer who suggested to put a small worm clamp on the plastic sleeve to keep it from breaking. Not sure if I needed it, but was good for peace of mind. The outside wire bristles worked perfect, but the inside pipe cleaner bristles seemed like they could be a little longer, as I had to wiggle the tool a little more to really clean the inside of the pipe. Only thing that made it less than perfect. Either way, this tool is a must have!!
