Yes indeed. Apparently the chimneys in this ouse having a crank in the
middle over an alcove can be a nightmare to get swept and indeed get the
brushes out of. Luckily its not in use and I have thought several time of
getting them removed but the chaos and rebuilding all for an extra foot of
floor space is far too costly.

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.

Cheers John

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.

Cheers
