Vibraclean is what you are looking for.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Or Magnacleanse from Adey, the makers of magnaclean filters. Works on the same principle, although strictly speaking not a Powerflusher, just a flusher.

what?

Are they just a bit of rubber on a shaft, or is there more to it?

Seems a lot of money for what it appears to be.

plastic, im guessing designed to help avoid marking the rad? they are def a rip off.

DO NOT USE ON OLD RADIATORS. i might have got a little trigger happy and ended up bowing a 1400 sp sc lesson learnt!!!! i now use a rubber mallet with a white head

How about this for a cheap alternative- just hacksaw one side off...

I will give Adey due credit my vibraclean failed ( the shaft snapped!) and they had a replacement out to me the next day, I think they have a lifetime warranty.

Mine is kinder to older radiators and easier on the ear, and cheaper.
