Introducing the dual head. This version can be used to apply flux to both 15mm and 22mm copper pipe.​
  • 1 x 15mm/22mm bristle head​
  • 1 x removable brush and​
  • 1 x e75g tube of flux paste, enough for approx 500 joints.​
1. First use, twist the base of the manageable click system to the dotted feed line. For use there after a couple of clicks should be enough.

2. The plunger will push the flux up to the bristles.

3. Push the Fluxuator onto a pipe.

4. Twist the Fluxuator around the pipe for a full coating.

5. For hard to reach places, use the removable brush.

6. Solder the joint as normal.

Anyone on here use these?

Looking at the design it makes me think the brushes could end up putting more flux inside the pipework itself as you push it onto the pipe 😕
 
There's an honest review here from an engineer if it helps -

Just ignore the price he mentions at the end and also we have the new model which does both 15mm/22mm , we dont sell the refill separately as each one does 500 applications anyway, and the price difference between the refill and buying a new set is small, so most engineers would proberly buy the set again

How does it stand up to the daily bash, dropped and the like? There was one in the local merchants for sale some time ago, looked a bit on the brittle side to me, they didn’t sell any and someone nicked the display model 😀

If you watch this video at 7 mins into it (07:00) i think it will answer the question 🙂

Did you not watch the video?😛😛😛😛
 
Think I’ll stay with the brush. That device isn’t practical for pipework in tight spaces.
 
Also, it looks like the offspring of a mk1 dyson vacuum AND they’re totally absolutely utterly cr@p.

Has James been tinkering with genetic engineering?
