Nearly wrecked a client's flue with a rotary cleaning attachment I'd never tested
I tried that spiral chain whip I saw on a YouTube demo - you know, the one that promises to scrape creosote in half the time - and it practically chewed up the terracotta liner on a 1920s house near downtown. Has anyone else had a tool they trusted turn out way more aggressive than expected?

That "spiral chain whip" thing... yeah, it's not really meant for terracotta at all. Those are designed for metal flues, not old clay liners.

Hold up did you check the mfg specs before you ran it or just trust the demo video? A lot of those "pro" tools have fine print saying terracotta is a no go because it crumbles way easier than steel. Seems like the real issue is who made that tool and what did they actually test it on before selling it?
