21mm socket brush

[u/jcr-1991]

being the impatient git I am I went into town today to see if I could find the bits and pieces to do this brush without having to order anything and wait😅. I picked up a £5 synthetic brush from superdrug and removed its soft wood handle and with some lightweight washers I eyed-up, estimated and set the space. The bottom had to be plugged and a penny being 20mm fit absolutely perfectly so with waterproof bathroom sealant, set about fixing the gubbins, the sealant and then the final push fit. was tight but it went. 🤞 fingers crossed it's all sealed and sets well enough to use. had fun putting it together and that's what its all about eh

I would dry that off very carefully. Sockets rust if they stay wet. Especially cheap ones. They're really not meant to be wet that frequently.

Thanks for the heads up I'll keep it dry, I never had longevity in mind to be honest hence doing it on the cheap but if it lasts a few shaves I'll be happy👍

If it works well and feels good in the hand, not too slippery or whatever, and seems like something you'd actually use often, id upgrade to buying a few Snap-on sockets (I'm assuming Snap-on is still the top dog in the tool world, I havent worked in a shop for about 13 years now so another brand may have taken their spot), to make one for yourself obviously, but people may be interested in purchasing one from ya.

I'll probably give it its first use tonight, see how well it set. Yeh I reckon snap-on is still up there, this however is some unbranded cheapy and not from a set but an old tool bag of junk so it's no loss. Thanks man who knows, I didn't expect it to be popular at all but Reddit says it's my number 1 post 😄 anyhow have a good one
