    Can someone please explain this to me?
    I put brass brush into the search and up came a varied half dozen and then every sort of metal clay.
    I redefined to brass hand brush and if I remember correctly from that seach there was the above plus soldering kit and other non related items 40 +!

    Forever a trier I went to the tools drop down and clicked on hand brushes. The first item was a wooden handled soldering probe and even a pin vice! How are we supposed to buy anything unless we have the catalogue and product number in front of us. Spending money shouldn't be this difficult :/

    In the words of Edmund Blackadder, "Yes, I can..."

    I suspect it's doing a full text search on the description. In the first of the metal clay entries is the text:

    After the clay has been fired, Picklean pickling solution can be used to safely remove oxidisation, before brushing off with a brass brush
    This is part of the reason I still prefer my dead tree catalogues!

    Mmm. I got that with the first one but not sure how soldering picks and pin vices came up the the last one. Even pickle was in the list, of ID wanted pickle I would have searched pickle
    I have to agree with Liz that they need 2 catalogues so that you don't come up with another 49 items of useless info when you are looking for a tool!
    The brush I was actually looking for turned up in the catalogue along with clay but it's not nearly as robust as the last one. It is a brush though, why not with other brushes grr:/

    That's what I got Dennis but the brush was in the clay section when I eventually found it! It has taken me 2 hours to place my order as it kept on going back to an old basket I'd looked at from last year and every time I added a new item I suddenly had 6 old ones. I think I've now aged about 10 years :/

    I was looking for pickle tongs and these were in the mix
