I hate scrubbing. Specifically, I hate scrubbing tile floors, bathtub and shower floors (all that grime that won't scrub off even after a half-hour's elbow grease), sink surrounds, and goopy messes in the bathroom. These are just a few of the uses for this excellent tool, and these scrubbing activities are not much of a burden when I use the Drill Brush. I've used powered scrubbers before (like the Black & Decker PKS160 Power Scrubber), but when you push a little to really clean the most baked-in dirt, the thing just stops spinning. No more. The ONLY limit to the Drill Brush's power is your cordless drill. I have a nice 18V Makita drill, and if I charge up the batteries, I can get a full 20-30 minutes of high-powered scrubbing. Which is enough to scrub at least two very dirty showers and toilet surrounds. I've cleaned the bathrooms five times each since buying this brush, and have not seen one of the bristles come off. I also clamp it down tight on the drill and spin it at the fastest setting with the trigger fully depressed, and it can take it. The plastic backing and metal bit that goes into the drill head are well-constructed. The pros: - Forget scrubbing. I used a scouring brush and couldn't do in 30 minutes what the Drill brush does in 5. (Especially if you pre-soak the grime in something like SC Johnson 70079 Scrubbing Bubbles 20 oz Mega Shower Foamer). - Well-constructed, will last a while. - Balances well on an 18+V cordless drill (my Makita still stands up on its battery with the brush attached). - Not too heavy (so doesn't cause fatigue). - Works great on plastic, metal, glass, tile... The cons (all minor): - So powerful it could strip off caulking around edges if you're not careful. - Over time, little bits of metal from the bit will flake off (nothing structural, just the finish). - You might actually enjoy cleaning--with a DRILL! Tips: - Pre-soak the area to be cleaned in something like Scrubbing Bubbles. - Rinse the area you've just scrubbed so you can see if you missed something. - Try to push the drill into the surface you're cleaning at a right angle to get maximum cleaning power. - If you're going to go crazy with tons of cleaning solution, you might want to wrap your drill in a plastic bag, to protect it from moisture. - Set the brush bristles down on a paper towel to dry.
