Wax Buffing Brush - Best Wax Buffing Brush - Drill by Chalkology Brush

The bolt that attaches the shaft to the wooden plate was only finger tight when it arrived. I can see how some people have complained about it spinning off. After tightening the bolt firmly, I had zero issues with the base spinning off. There are lots of loose fibers when new so take a few minutes to spin off the loose fibers and you should be good to go. Be careful with the wooden edge close to work surfaces that are contoured. They are sharply cut and will mark your piece if you are not careful. One way to correct this would be to sand the edge where the bristles are attached round so if it does come in contact with the piece you are working on, it is less likely to damage the finish.The buffer works well and the bristles are quite soft. Be sure to remove most of the heavy build up of wax before using this buffer as it will just push the wax around and not bring it to a shine as it should. Well worth the money for the results you can get with this buffer.

I am a "beginner" when it comes to chalk paint and wax, and did a bit of research before starting my first project. I am painting and waxing a large dining room table, and when I came across this wax buffing drill, I figured this would speed up the process and give me a better outcome. I watched a video online on how to do it and it looked really easy. When I received the brush, I worried about the bristles being too stiff and scratching my piece. But that wasn't the case and all. Once I got the hang of the brush on my drill and how to hold it, it made the process go so quickly and gave a nice sheen to it that I wasn't able to get by hand buffing.

I used this attachment to buff my kitchen cabinets after I painted and waxed them with Amy Howard chalk paint and wax. I have painted several pieces before and just used a t-shirt to buff, but because I was doing such a large area, I decided to try this buffing drill because buffing requires a lot of elbow grease. The attachment does a great job! I did have a little trouble at first because I let it slip over and it nicked my paint a couple of places. So you do have to be careful and hold it very tightly. I think a lot of my problem is I was having to hold the drill upright since I was buffing on a vertical surface. I think it would be easier to hold it more steadily if you were using it on a horizontal surface like a table top. Overall, I think this attachment does a great job buffing wax, and I would recommend it.

Being new to the whole chalk paint phenomenon, I of course took on a monstrous project for my first attempt. I have a friend that is well experienced with chalk paint and she was leery when I showed her this buffing tool. As others stated in their reviews, the spindle was loose when it arrived. I went ahead and tightened it then super glued it well in advance of using it. That way I didn't have to remember to go in reverse. It did take a few turns to "wear" it in so that it did not leave swirl marks as I was buffing the wax. It shed a few bristles (5-10) through the entire project. That being said it made a very large project much more manageable.

So disappointed in this brush! It dulled my project and definitely did not buff it smooth or shiny. I was so excited to use this tool on my newly painted and waxed hutch but it literally did nothing for it. Before purchasing, I spent a few hours buffing sections of the hutch by hand with an old t-shirt, but I'm 5 months pregnant and was getting exhausted standing and buffing so I ordered this brush. I was so upset to see that it actually dulled the parts I had buffed. After running over it with the brush, the shine had gone and it looked dull and matte again. As for the rest of the hutch, it looks and feels just as it did before using the brush. Zero progress made. I am better off finishing this project by hand. What a letdown, would definitely not recommend this product.

Wow I am so glad I choose to try this brush despite the reviews. We did put kitchen cabinets and you want a good strong wax coat on the them and this helped TONS!!

I love this drill brush. I've used it with Annie Sloan wax - both to apply and to buff the wax. It really works well with large flat spaces. It scraped the paint off of the edges of a melamine shoe storage cabinet, so I quickly learned not to use it over raised areas. It saves my arms and back from a lot of work on those larger area.

The bristles and wooden base seem fine and it polishes well. The annoying defect is, as others have noted, that the threaded end of the shank keeps coming unscrewed from the nut in the wooden base. I got tired of re-tightening it so I glued the threaded end into the nut. Hopefully that will fix it.
