Forney 70487 Nylon Tube Brush with Wire Loop Handle, 15.5" x 1.25"

I really like this brush. I have a Harmon pellet stove that builds up in ash in every nook and crevice. This sturdy and well designed brush gets into the vents behind the plates and does a great job brushing out the ash. I also like the wire handle is very bendable into a "V" so I can get at whatever angle I need to get into every hidden crevice. I've had this since Jan 2021 and have used it at least once every week during winter season. It's still in great shape and doesn't need replacing any time soon. Great value for the money spent and gets the job done amazingly.

Worked reasonably well to clean interior threads. It can be bent but still allows pressure to be used to clean the threads.

We got infested with drain flies. These pesky little things look like fruit flies, but they breed in the organic matter that gets caught in your sink drain. Until you clean it out, you will never get rid of them. To clean your bathroom sink drain, reach under the sink with a pliers and loosen the knurled nut that holds in the lever mechanism for the drain stopper. If the sink is not clogged with water you can then just unscrew the nut with your fingers and pull out the lever rod. (If a clog is present, first place a bucket or pan under the drain pipe.) That will free the stopper and allow you to pull it out from the top. You might need to first give it a little push with the lever rod so you can grasp it. Leave the knurled nut under the sink. Don't put it up on the counter where it can fall down the drain and become hard to retrieve. If you haven't done this recently, a lot of hair and goop will come out with the plastic stopper. Take it to another sink and scrub it thoroughly. The black bacterial biofilm can be removed with a smaller wire brush or abrasive pad. Now you are ready to clean the drain pipe itself. Just run the brush up and down several times inside the pipe. Wash the brush off in another sink or bathtub, and repeat. This 1-1/4 inch model is the perfect fit for most standard bathroom sink drains. After you reassemble the lever mechanism , and replace the knurled nut, you can then pour bleach or drain cleaner down if you like. That can help to make it unfriendly for a re-infestation. There are also products designed specifically for this purpose. Now wait 3 weeks. It will take that long for all the adult flies to die off. After the first week, you will probably begin to notice a reduction in population. Keep cleaning the drain regularly and you should remain free of these pests.

Finding brushes like this at the local home center is often difficult. But, this is exactly what I needed for cleaning a specific item.

I bought this gadget to clean my old fashioned milk bottles or glass bottles that have the narrow opening at the mouth. I make my own almond milk and it is impossible to get the milk residue out of the bottle even with dish washing. So I got this item in hopes it would do the job. It does! I had to bend it to the contour of the bottle and with a bit of savvy effort, it did the job of cleaning every aspect of the bottles including the flat bottom of the bottles interior and all the hard to get sides and shoulders of the bottles where it would be impossible to clean otherwise. The diameter of the brush bristles tip to tip across the center is about one inch across. The bristles can flatten flat entering an opening of less than 1/4 inch. The bristles are firm and expand right back into position even after extremely narrow openings and many uses. I will probably get more of these to have on hand. tip: bend the brush wire so that you can get the maximum amount of pressure in the hard to get areas (like the shoulders of the bottle where a straight brush would miss). I rotate the brush and use the hump side to tackle the shoulders of the bottles (inside of course), and rotate it around to get the length and body of the bottle to clear out all the milk residue.

Perfect

Stranded wire handle is very firm and unbending. Likely good for straight-line cleaning but I hoped to clean U-shaped "P-trap" under bathroom sink but no way will this handle bend to go around a corner. I plan to keep for other uses but did not work as I hoped.

Perfect for cleaning Banish-22 suppressor.

This is one of the best brushes I've ever purchased for cleaning my sink drain. It' both flexible and strong. I was surprised by the gunk it pulled out of the drain.

Used for bathroom sink, fit perfectly. Stiff so was able to go down full length of brush. If it was longer I might have been able to go around trap but it did what I wanted it to do.

Got all the trapped things our

Perfect to my purpose to clean a narrow tube of stainless.

I bought this to wash bottles with thin openings. (I guess there is no other applications). It washes my bottles nicely, but it is still hard to reach and brush the bottom of them. I guess this would happen with similar products.
