bin it. B&Q tools are not meant to be repaired. also if you could get any they would cost £10.00 t0 £15.00 pounds. always buy brand names!

Why would I bin it? It was a freebie. It works but could use some brushes. It'll be sufficient for what I'm going to use it for.
If anybody has something useful to add, I'd appreciate the input.

do you not have a drawer or tin where the extra brushes supplied with other tools are kept !!
then you can alter and adapt to fit!!

other choices tool repair or domestic repair shop and again modify/adapt

hows princess street got the trams running yet

I have a shed full of tins/tubs stuffed in them but alas no brushes. I've found them online for £10 but grudge giving a tenner for something worth 10p. The machine works ok but I had to free the brushes off.
I've not been in Edinburgh for ages, because of the tram works, it's sucking the life out of the town imho.
I can get the brushes out in seconds so might go into Edinburgh (reluctantly) with one for a pattern. It's not desparate, just something I'd feel better with if I did it.

Thanks for your input, I've got it in my boot, I might venture into town tomorrow and see what I can turn up.

There used to be a Black and Decker shop in Leith walk, it moved years ago and I'm not sure if it still exists.

let us know if you find a cheap supply of brushes

Tool hire shops repair all their own tools, they will sell you the correct brushes.
