Still getting used to the viper.

Here we have a sweep into a twin wall chimney with the viper from Wohler.
I'm still getting used to it and still deciding on the best way to use it.
Enjoy! #sweepunit

The Viper takes getting used to and it’s not for everyone. Over the years I’ve owned a half dozen of vipers and never liked them. They would break all the time, jam and expensive, that’s why I no longer use them. However they do have their place in some sticky situations, especially if you want the job to go quick. Thank you for the video!

I used the viper, and it is quicker however, with rotary it seems to do a better job for the customer after using the viper i used power sweeping and got a lot more out that the viper missed.it's giving a bit of rotary scrub as to say. I paid £290 for a big button lock 10m set, had them for years now.

Ok for vents I'd prefer rods or rotary system that me . great video as All way's 👍

[@thechimneyman-uk]

@@mazman8343 yes. Mainly rotary for me but I got the Viper as it's quick and there are some with long 90 degree bends where the Viper seems to win. Sometimes.

been looking forward to this , good to watch, but I am still not sure its for me, although its making the sweep much quicker i suppose , and thats a brucey bonus 😄

[@thechimneyman-uk]

@@cooking23 it's definitely quicker I find but isn't for every job. Twin wall and liners with light deposits seems to be it's thing.

Hi, great video! What make are those steps? I've never seen them before.

[@thechimneyman-uk]

@@phils749 I've tried to buy a new pair of these but I can't find any. I think they're no longer available.

Good video,where did you get your mirror from that i see you using in your other videos?

[@thechimneyman-uk]

@@ianc631c the big one or the one on a stick?

[@ianc631c]

The big one,thanks for getting back to me

[@ParaBellum2024]

Do you not put a sheet over the front of the stove? I'd have thought that would result in soot getting everywhere.

[@thechimneyman-uk]

@@ParaBellum2024 please see my other videos, but yes. On this one it was not needed.

[@ParaBellum2024]

@@thechimneyman-uk Thank you, I will. I have a Charnwood C5 and the sweep always puts a sheet over the front.

[@thechimneyman-uk]

@@ParaBellum2024 yes me too. However this stove isn't heavily used. Most of the soot will fall into the sump outside. All of this was considered before I went ahead. 👍
