Attachment for a drill to clean paintbrushes

by **krispedro** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 9:02 am

hi everyone
does anyone know of a product that attaches to an electric drill and then you connect your paint brush to it, you then start the drill and the product spins the brush at a fast speed (into a bucket or box) removing the paint

any help would be grateful especially where i could buy them :D

thx kris

hi there

it was on one of the shopping channels a couple of years ago

its just i am sick of buying new brushes and rollers after the wife decides she wants to do a bit of painting, then she just leaves the brushes in turps for a few weeks or just puts them back in the shed without cleaning them

thx anyway

to be honest i doubt that the product that you refer to works very well anyway. believe me if they that good then all the pros would have them and they'd be on sale in all the hardware shops. i've never seen or heard of them and wouldn't buy one if i did. waste of money quite frankly. fact is there is nothing except good old fashioned elbow grease gonna get your brushes clean.
