Went back to rotary brushes after trying square ones for a month

I figured square brushes would scrub more surface area on a 12x12 flue, but they just kept catching on the corners. After fighting with one on a job in Springfield last Tuesday, I swapped back to my old round rotary and it was done in half the time. Anyone else find square brushes more trouble than they're worth?

I mean, it's just brushes at the end of the day. You swap 'em out when they don't work, no big deal. Not exactly a life-changing decision.

Not exactly a life-changing decision" - speak for yourself, some of us have been square brush traumatized. That corner catching issue is actually a safety thing too, I've seen guys wrench their wrists when those things snag.
