    Can someone post the link for the drill powered brushes with the extension rods that we can use to sweep our own chimneys from the bottom up? I can't find the link.

    Also, will a 19.2 volt Craftsman have enough torque to power that thing?

    I need 25 feet. I wonder if you can add two 3 foot extensions.

    Sure, I have the extension kit for my 25' of flex liner. It might strain the drill a little more.

    I did it with an 18v cordldess up a 30' chimney. I have since picked up a 24v cordless and it did have better torque. Have a spare charged battery on hand just in case. I bought 2 full sooteater kits rather than 1 and extensions.
