Wanted some input. I have a outside class a with a clean out T near the bottom. Above the T I have two offsetting 45s (maybe, 2 1/2') nipple in between. Then it goes straight up for about 25'.

Would prefer to do this bottom up.

What's a good flex rod brush kit to purchase?
 
I have a similar chimney. I use rutland fiberglass rods and a poly brush. Takes a little bit of pushing but it will go through the 45's.

Take a look at the SootEaters. A number of us have them, and generally speaking, we are more than happy with them.

Hope this helps!
 
+1 vote for the Soot Eater. I got one from SmartHome to clean my Father's masonry chimney with SS flex liner, worked great.

They seem to have a good deal going right now, basic kit with 18' of rod + 2 extension rods for a total of 24'

Don't waste your money on replacement string / whips for it. The instruction manual says you can use any weed wacker line, recommended 0.105" diameter.
