How sturdy are the brush handles? I have a one hitter and would use this to push the gunk out one end, if ever. Will the brushes bend too much?

I had to actually look up what a one-hitter was, but if the deposit inside needs any amount of scrubbing, I would say there are not the brushes for you. They are pretty soft. I found a much stiffer tube brush at B,B&B.

Shhhh, I do know what a 1 hitter is. And there is a chance these could work. I think the wire part of the brush is stiff enough, but the brush material may not be stout enough to do the cleaning you need as L. Stemke pointed out. It also depends on what size brushes you are sent. The pictures always show 5 different sizes, however, I received 5 of the same size (as has a few other folks who made this purchase). So depending on that, the size of the 1 hitter, and how badly it needs cleaned, I'd say you have a better than 50% chance of being happy with the results.

These brushes are very small but, are very sturdy. I have not herd of a one hitter. There is all sizes of brushes on Amazon. You will have to fine the wright size.

I really don't know why it would bend. Our unit does not because the handle is very strong. Hopefully you ordered the correct model.

Yes, they are sturdy. All of mine are filled with dirt and I move them - carefully- by using the handles.

I believe the brush head has standard threading. You should be able to buy a replacement handle from any local hardware store.

When using them, the handles will stay together, so it is not a problem. I suppose you could use some sort of clip if you're worried about it.

I'd say yes because the suction is not strong and there is no weight on the revolving brush head to press the brush into the pile and damage it. For other surfaces there are better and cheaper options. CR did a report for these in their July issue. Very good read.

The bristles are firm but I'm not sure it'll work for 90degree corners well. I had a hard time keeping the head on the handle because it screws together and as you are scrubbing it rotates and come apart within seconds! I finally gave up on in. Wouldn't recommend it for any serious scrubbing unfortunately.

Very solid, cant picture causing a bend these handles through any standard usage.

I have not had to replace it yet, I use mine almost everyday. purchased it almost a year ago. It is very sturdy, I have other brands handles break. I love this brush.

I posted a photo which is a bit distorted slightly widened. But they are great. I've really used the plastic brush A LOT!!!! The nozzle hasn''t really come off for me, the little brushes just go on the end of the nozzle.

The handles are actually pretty bulletproof. They look perfect after 10 or so months of use. The parts getting dirtiest/charred are the machined lip and the bottom (gas burners). But that may or may not be relatively cleanable with something a bit stronger than dish soap...

You can bend them about as much as a half circle without breaking them. They are a little persistent and will want to return back to their original shape though but if you can hold them down at the bend you want you should be ok

The handles seem sturdy enough to me. I haven't had any issues with the handles. Although, somewhat recently I dropped one of the smaller knives and it snapped at the blade.I would still recommend the set, though.

Yes, you can bend them, they are just like any other pipe cleaner except they are a little ruff so they can really clean out you pipe. Not the best for any craft project due to them having this extra function.

I find that putting the brush in handle fist that the brush slides right in. Also with the brittles wet when I place it in the case it slides right back out the next morning with no damage to my boar bristle brush.

I have four of these jugs and have not had any problems with the handle. The only "issue" I have had with them is when using them with EXTREMELY pulpy vegetable/fruit juices the airhole in the knob at the top of the spout can get clogged with pulp and create a vaccum, slowing the pour. P.S. If you have TJ Maxx/Marshall's in your area you can sometimes get these jugs there for around $5.

I find these brushes to be very sturdy. I take good care of mine but I don't think just putting it in your bag will hurt it.
