I do. It works fine. I am actually going to do a quick clean today on mine since its so warm here right now. I like it.
Just picked one up yesterday. Works really good for my 6 inch flex pipe. Cut the brush bigger then the paper says just a FYI .

You could have just pulled 2 of the 4 strands in each hole out a little bit in opposite directions. Or just bought new string.

I cut mine 8 inch's across which includes the black ball portion of the head ( 2 inch's) then the strings at 3 inch's

I’ve been using one for about 3 years now. Very nice and easy.

It's the only thing I have and I like it. I think it does a good job. I inspected my chimney earlier this year with a camera after sweeping and it looked good. I bought it originally because the rods are flexible and I can clean from inside my insert without getting on the roof.

They are a great little tool. Although I found that by burning only cedar and pine they are not necessary on my stove though. I get almost nothing out of my pipe when I clean every year.

Been using one for my liner since I got my insert 8 years ago. I clean from the bottom twice a year. Super easy. My dad even bought one for his stoves after seeing mine.

Since it is round it would not get into the corners I think. I bet if you had it cleaned professionally you would get the same results though. Never saw a rectangular chimney brush before.

Well the last professional chimney sweep I saw around here was driving an old beater car with a rickety looking ladder tied to his roof. Im betting he doesn't have one.
