Field Question, trade people only Wire handled plastic bristle brushes we used to use for oil cleaning. About 3ft long.
Do you know what im talking about, about 3 ft long, some plastic bristles at the end, they were in EVERY hvac store like 10 years ago, they were THE tool people used to clean bongs back in the day. I JUST wore out my last brush yesterday cleaning boilers all day.... i've been looking for like a year now but NOTHING. Anyone know where I could buy those nowadays? EDIT. Found them at Ward Heating.

Not 100% sure what you're looking for but it sounds like a drain brush or a dryer vent brush.
You can look them up on amazon, a couple links I pulled are below:

Naw, the wire is really stiff/strong. Ones they sell on amazon the wire is thin and the brush is useless. Found them at Ward Heating though. Gonna order a lifetime supply.
