Background: we have a small woodstove, connected to a traditional 60s
semi's fireplace, chimney pronounced fit for use by the stove fitter,
i.e. no stove liner.

I have swept chimneys in the past with traditional brushes, and the last
time we had our stove chimney swept the sweep used traditional brushes.

Some sets are viewable below the item you linked.

My biased view is that this is just a gimmick because sweeping the
traditional way with fibreglass poles and a densely bristled brush seems
to work fine.

No fighting with a power drill that is trying to wind up a long flexible
set of rods. Consider what would happen if it did manage to wind up the
rods and then the whole shooting match wanted to unwind.

YMMV of course.
