that you can have almost any size brush you want and the aluminium extrusion is not limited to a production run; it can be cut to any length. Bristle density is another interesting concept here too. At first, I just didn’t get it but with this system, the bristles can be manufactured to be much closer together whereas with a conventional brush, there are certain limitations.
This brush I have to say is more than just a brush though. Incorporated into its unique design are two rinse bars. One which is more conventional in that it is located in the central part of the brush and the flow of water will come from within the bristles. The other rinse bar is located on the top edge of the brush within its own channel and will naturally spray the pure water just over and above the bristles. This as we all know now, will give you the option to rinse the glass whilst the bristles are still on the glass alleviating the possibility of contaminating the glass with any dirt that may be lurking there. This of course means you don’t have to rinse off the glass anymore, which will help a lot in reducing fatigue.
The number of jets themselves can be adjusted too, which is also a very interesting feature. With the Constructor brush right out of the box, there are 5 jets on the top and central rinse bars. These can be increased or reduced quickly and easily to give you your own optimised rinsing preference.
Yet another forward-looking concept that has been incorporated into the Constructor Brush is the Side2Side feature, which allows the brush head to swivel. As most people know by now, I just have to have a swivel on all my tools. I have got so used to it that I can’t actually work without one. This Side2Side feature however has been carefully designed to be optimal and the pivot point has been placed in the best possible place to give superior dynamics whilst using this tool which you can also “lock off” to make it rigid for certain circumstances.
When fitting this sort of brush to a Reach-iT pole, you will notice the reduced dimensions of the pole tip, angle adapter and the actual Side2Side feature. These are all ‘built in’ and as such become more rigid and lighter than the original set up. Pole hose can be routed either inside the pole or outside.
Not all of this new brush is made of aluminium though. The end caps, which incorporate the distinctive ‘C’ logo, are made of plastic. This means that the window frames are protected from any contact with the aluminium part of the structure etc. As for weight, this is not the lightest brush but because of the redesigned swivel/angle adapter/pole tip, this compensates for it and in use I found that it was completely unnoticeable.
If you have never used a brush that swivels, then it may take you some time to adapt but once you get some practice with one, then the benefits can be astonishing. I find that using a Constructor Brush gives me advantages in reaching awkward windows not to mention the amount of labour saving and sheer ergonomic wizardry.
