Greater than one weekI was able to use it to clean 3 pipe ends before it broke. Yup, you read that correctly....only 3.

> 3 dayThe thin plastic broke after a few uses, but the outside brush can still be used manually. The smaller inside brush does not attach to the metal rod in the center very well, but it still works. But after just a few uses, the inside brush has gotten smaller in diameter, so it doesnt work as well as it first did. .

> 3 dayThis broke way to easy. Used it just a hand full of times and it snapped.

> 3 dayIll never clean 1/2 copper pipe the old way again. This does a great job. Note that the two parts can be separated. The brush that cleans the inside of a fitting can be put on the drill by itself. I prefer it that way. I have a perfect hex shank that allows me to use the other brush by itself too. I prefer that. But, their intent is to keep the two parts together and extend and retract the inner brush depending on which you need. That should work fine unless both brushes are accidentally grabbing at the same time.

> 3 dayFirst use the brush broke off, second use the shank stripped out. Great idea poor execution. i chucked the brush in a drill, and used the outside brush by hand. I completed the job I bought it for, and for $15, I didnt expect much

Greater than one weekAlright folks, listen up! Yes, there are design flaws. But they are very, very easily remedied. Read on for how to overcome the problems with this awesome hella timesaver tool! The problems mentioned in other reviews are correct. The design is such that the problems are unavoidable. 1. The OD cup detaches from the shaft. When plastic is attached to metal in a tool specifically used for torsional stress, it will eventually break (sure wish things were still made of metal!). One can hasten this break by using an impact driver, or operating at too fast a speed, or pressing the cup too deeply onto the pipe. Even if one does none of these things, the plastic will eventually break where it bonds with the metal shaft. 2. The ID brush spins loose out of its mount. This only happens if the tool is used in a clockwise rotation (righty tighty). This is because the spiral wire that forms the shaft body is spun in a counter-clockwise manner. How to fix the problems: 1. Add a hose clamp around the skinniest part of the plastic, where it attaches to the metal shaft. You could probably also encapsulate it in some JB Weld if you really wanted to overdo it. Definitely use a low speed setting on your drill/driver. Consider not using an impact driver. And do NOT push too far down the pipe -- you only need 1/2 to 3/4 polished. 2. Set your drill/driver to counter-clockwise use (lefty loosey). Thats it! Just run the drill backwards when using the ID brush. Dont let the design flaws of this kickass tool keep you from buying it. If youve made it this far, youre already someone who can easily overcome the problems. Just make a sure you buy a tiny hose clamp at the same time (NOT a spring-style clamp, you want a worm-gear style).
