Chewy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Now this I like. It's always been hard to get around to the back side of my wheels. I may have to pull the trigger when I order more supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Bobby Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So its basically the medium woolie head on a 12" 45 degree handle right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So its basically the medium woolie head on a 12" 45 degree handle right? Dimensions: One Size: 1/2" x 13" Shaft with a 6" Wool Head that is at a 45 degree angle. The Wool Head has a 2.5" diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnbiker326 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If this is successful from Braun, is the smaller wheel woolie (now upgraded to a 45 degree handle as well) coming in the future too? My BMW 18" wheels and brakes are just too close together to get the medium regular wheel woolie (or anything that diameter) in between. I use the smallest one to do that job.

Ricky Bobby Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Nick I'll be adding your new Woolie on my next order, will complete my set with the "old" Adam's spec'd Woolies! I like that your head is fluffier with more fibers, I have the regular spoke back woolie and don't feel it's as "fluffy" as I'd like, I'll give it to my FIL and pick up yours on my next restocking! Great job on this one. Team Adam's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silverado Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Used mine for the first time yesterday. Definitely works great for getting right behind the spoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Still not quite small enough for the Cadillac wheels, but a huge improvement. I'm satisfied with ALL of the wheel woolies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaman1978 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Used mine for the first time today. It was definitely easier to get behind the spokes and into hard to reach areas. I worthwhile improvement for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Glad to hear you guys are digging it!! Do you feel like the grip is a worthwhile addition as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I can't fit anything but the smallest wollie between my caliper and wheels and I'm running 19" wheels. The Brembos are BIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorfmac Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Really a fan of the woolie - had never used one prior to this and never knew how easy it could be to clean (most of) the barrel of the wheel. Three suggestions: 1) add one more in a smaller size 2) stiffen the handle/pole - I find when i go to really scrub, the pole flexes and it would be easier with a stiffer shaft (that's what she said) 3) maybe offer the smaller size at a right angle, as opposed to 45*. With a right angle, I would be able to get behind each spoke easily to do a more thorough job Overall, I would rate the tool a B+ - makes the job a lot easier, but being able to get directly behind the spokes would be that final touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Bobby Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 FWIW if you used Adam's new woolie, along with the original large woolie, and the smaller spoke back woolie you would have a perfect set. The smaller spoke back woolie has a smaller head for easier reach behind spokes/calipers, still with a 12" handle though at a 45. The long woolie I use the most to really scrub barrels. I like the pole flexibility because it gives it a bit more ease of movement when working on the rounded wheel area, I think you need the flexibility to be able to clean efficiently.

dorfmac Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Good to know re: the smaller head/45* angle. Will have to seek one out!

Chris@Adams Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 All I can say is that I love the new wheel woolie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePoncho Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think a swivel head should be considered. I always feel like I'm losing my grip. When trying to deal with the 45 on the brush it feels like your wrist takes on some difficult angles and the handle slides around in your hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When trying to deal with the 45 on the brush it feels like your wrist takes on some difficult angles and the handle slides around in your hand While I think that would be convenient, I also think it might lose the integrity of scrubbing power if the head of the woolie is always moving. I'm not too sure though, we could be thinking of two different ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT_F31_EBII Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 i really enjoyed the new 45 degree angle woolies and really easy to reach the back of the spoke and yes, if it comes with a smaller size so that i can also comfortably reach behind the brake caliper of the wheel on my Bimmer F31 19" M Sport alloy. :-) great product and the head is easy to clean as well.
