anyone know if Brumby is a brand sold by or only by a large hardware originating in WA ?

They used to do a set of three wire brushes similar to a tooth brush, each one with different bristles like steel, brass and nylon and easily snap-able black plastic handles.

Another nationwide reseller has a very similar set in Stanley brand and about 14 bucks. I swear these brush sets by Brumby were less than five bucks, maybe medallion brand too ? Not sure I need the 14 dollar quality even at special 20% off sale days !

I've only seen them at that large hardware store originating in WA. I have a particularly nasty one for "aggressive" brushing...

Josco is the brand that own the Brumby brand now. Not sure what you're asking but thought I'd add that boy of information

aha, need to go visit a WA origin hardware merchant must be them that has the particular thrifty priced items. I sort of balk at the other chains pricing when mind recalls the snap that ends their life. Josco puts their name to the more robust rotary wire brushes ta

Ummm... Bit lost. You're talking about these brushes aren't you? http://www.supercheaphardware.com.au/me ... c_9701.jpg

ummm ...yes ... hmmm.... a non virtual visit to not same store name reveals only STANLEY brand packaged brushes that look identical and about the 14 buck mark....

that is them thanks Phiz - helps everyone

OK thinking retailers are reducing lines carried ...SCA no longer carry, but can order in those breather filters for PCV lines , caps etc. Noticed another BIG retailer has stock arranged so just one item per hook, though many hooks per same item in wide ranging dept as lollies and men swear. I guess wire brushes just gone same way and upmarket ?

Aha, not SCA link there either
