Wood vs. fiberglass handles on my brush rods - made the switch last month
I've always used fiberglass rods on my jobs because that's what my dad taught me with, but last month I snapped one on a tight 90 degree bend in a 8 inch flue. Picked up a set of wood handled rods from a local supply shop near Portland for about $80 and I'm honestly surprised how much better they grip in my hands when it's damp out. The extra weight took a couple days to get used to but I feel like I have way more control on stubborn creosote. Anyone else made this swap and noticed a difference with heavy buildup?

That extra weight you mentioned, did it tire your arms out quicker on longer jobs?
