I would say that was not much use for cleaning holds.
Hoseyb:
Quite possibly. I'm still always amazed at the "specialist" brushes getting hawked to climbers.
The moon 3 brush set they used to sell with the bamboo shiv, used to regularly pop up on eBay as an unbranded manicure set directly shipped from China.
Although I rely heavily on my sublime brush for established problems, my old scrubbing brush (nylon and drilled to put on some tat) has seen at least 15 years of loyal service.
Platers brushes ( non metal bristle versions) used in jewelry trade have also been very useful, and probably appropriated and rebranded
SA Chris:
Agree on that. I've bought the same wooden balls that are used as training aids by drilling a hole in them and branding them for much less than they are sold by climbing companies.

Tw*t tax, see also anything high end bicycles. Currently using a Kiwi shoe polishing brush for larger areas, reduced to £1-ish Morrisons. Seems to work.
SA Chris:
Just adding some praise to Psychi brushes while I remember. Their first iteration had crap glue and the bristles fell out, but latest versions have a high "bristle density", nice stiff bristles and solid handle, and well priced. Not found anything that matches them, and tried a few (avoiding plastic when I can)
