TIL I used to clean my boiler tubes with a wire brush like a caveman

For years I'd spend half a shift scrubbing each tube by hand, but last month I tried that spiral tube cleaner from McMaster-Carr and finished the whole job in 40 minutes. Has anyone else had that moment where you realize you've been making simple work way harder than it needed to be?

Finding this out late but @the_rose isn't alone, I was using a garden hose like a fool.

The spiral cleaner is a GAME CHANGER. I used to scrub bottles by hand and it took forever. Then I got one of those brush things with the handle you twist and it was better but still a pain. The spiral one gets into EVERY corner and makes things so much faster. I tell everyone about them now, they are worth every penny.
