REVOLVE DECK BRUSH HI-TECH SPACE SAVER
marine-products-direct.com/revolve-tec/
Using British technology originally designed for inspecting nuclear cores in power stations, Revolve is a lightweight roll-up handle that can be fitted with various tools. The latest addition is a deck brush for mounting onto the end of the dedicated pole – a system that already works as a communications mast, boathook and a tripod. The handle is a patented polypropylene-glass composite that rolls lengthways or widthways. Store it in a compact 11cm-diameter roll, just like sticky tape, and when you open it up it will curl the opposite way to form a 1.8m-long tube. There’s a simple one-pin bayonet-style fitting on the end to take the brush head (or hook). In pole format, the shape is stable enough to press hard, but susceptible to twisting. Cost is the only downside: the brush itself is £32.95, while the handle alone comes in at £69.95.
