00:00:00.299 --> 00:00:02.219
Hey, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.219 --> 00:00:04.992
Freedom. My Holikme drill brush attachment set

00:00:04.992 --> 00:00:06.528
was good value on Amazon,

00:00:06.528 --> 00:00:07.723
even though I managed to strip a

00:00:07.723 --> 00:00:09.580
few brushes on demanding jobs.

00:00:09.643 --> 00:00:11.478
That combination is the useful part of

00:00:11.478 --> 00:00:13.142
this review: what I used,

00:00:13.142 --> 00:00:15.062
what failed, and why I would still

00:00:15.062 --> 00:00:16.726
buy an inexpensive set again.

00:00:16.726 --> 00:00:18.903
This is a mixed cleaning attachment kit.

00:00:18.945 --> 00:00:21.302
My experience is with the brush attachments.

00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.147
I have not really used the pads,

00:00:23.147 --> 00:00:24.811
and I do not know from experience

00:00:24.811 --> 00:00:26.774
what those pads would be useful for.

00:00:26.987 --> 00:00:29.498
Powered cleaning still involves different jobs.

00:00:29.619 --> 00:00:31.518
A brush working over an open surface

00:00:31.624 --> 00:00:34.013
needs a different contact shape from one

00:00:34.013 --> 00:00:35.699
reaching into a narrow corner.

00:00:35.891 --> 00:00:37.705
The kit gives me different brush shapes,

00:00:37.725 --> 00:00:39.763
rather than one head for everything.

00:00:39.837 --> 00:00:41.651
During my van-floor preparation,

00:00:41.757 --> 00:00:44.103
the nylon brush pass followed the wire-brush

00:00:44.103 --> 00:00:46.151
work. I swept and mopped away loose

00:00:46.151 --> 00:00:48.221
dirt, worked on stubborn residue,

00:00:48.242 --> 00:00:50.034
then used the nylon brush for remaining

00:00:50.034 --> 00:00:51.647
dirt before drying the floor.

00:00:51.765 --> 00:00:53.515
Those stages did different parts of the

00:00:53.515 --> 00:00:55.477
cleanup. The weak point I found was

00:00:55.477 --> 00:00:57.803
the connection between the metal quick-attach shaft

00:00:57.952 --> 00:00:59.809
and the plastic brush body.

00:00:59.872 --> 00:01:02.433
Under demanding use and downward pressure,

00:01:02.517 --> 00:01:04.128
that connection could strip.

00:01:04.243 --> 00:01:06.163
Once it stripped, the attachment could no

00:01:06.163 --> 00:01:07.444
longer do its job.

00:01:07.614 --> 00:01:09.449
One example was cleaning stains off my

00:01:09.449 --> 00:01:11.113
white bathtub using a brush on my

00:01:11.113 --> 00:01:13.246
impact driver. A few brushes stripped while

00:01:13.246 --> 00:01:14.782
I pushed down during that job and

00:01:14.782 --> 00:01:17.154
similar tough work. That is my experience

00:01:17.154 --> 00:01:19.053
with heavy use, rather than a claim

00:01:19.074 --> 00:01:21.763
that every brush fails during ordinary cleaning.

00:01:21.847 --> 00:01:23.256
Even with that limitation,

00:01:23.298 --> 00:01:24.877
I would not spend a lot on

00:01:24.877 --> 00:01:26.701
an expensive drill-brush set.

00:01:26.774 --> 00:01:29.035
I would keep buying this inexpensive Holikme

00:01:29.035 --> 00:01:31.255
set or something similar on Amazon.

00:01:31.339 --> 00:01:33.643
My page also compares a Drillbrush attachment

00:01:33.643 --> 00:01:35.073
set and the smaller,

00:01:35.094 --> 00:01:37.431
self-powered Rubbermaid Reveal scrubber.

00:01:37.549 --> 00:01:39.640
Those are alternatives, not products I am

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.177
claiming to have tested here.

00:01:41.304 --> 00:01:43.352
Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with

00:01:43.352 --> 00:01:45.602
Camper Van Freedom. Read the full Holikme

00:01:45.602 --> 00:01:47.352
review for my cleanup sequence,

00:01:47.437 --> 00:01:49.358
the attachment failure I experienced,

00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:50.744
and the two alternatives.

00:01:50.936 --> 00:01:52.356
See you on the next project.
