Not worth the new exorbident Price
2010-08-20
 |
I had been using this product on and off for many years. The most recent I own is a 1". Worked OK. HOWEVER, when I went to replace the polonium strip, as I had done a number of times in the past, I was shocked at the new price for the strip.I have NOT ordered a new strip.
Needless to say, it now resides in the bottom of my gear bad as just another ordinary brush. |

Lack of shelf life a negative for this anti-static product
2010-04-21

I have used the Static-Master 1" brush for over twenty years, and been very satisfied with its performance. Until I purchased one for myself, they had all been supplied at work. When I received mine 'new' I was surprised to find that October 2010 was the 'shelf life' or 'use by' date. The radioactive component of the brush decays as it emits the alpha particles that make it so effective in eliminating static electricity from negatives. Unfortunately, there was no information online to indicate what the 'use by' date on the item was. I look carefully afterward and could not find anything. With the cost of the product, I was chagrined to find that my $ 60+ purchase was going to "expire" in less than 9 months.
It would be more honest of the seller to indicate during the purchasing process what the shelf life of the product is. I would hope that for the price, you could get at least a year or two of use. |

Shipping Costs

| Great product - used them for years. My local supplier doesn't have them any more so I thought I order through Amazon from Adorama Camera. But... $26 - fine. $7 shipping? I don't think so! |

No noticeable difference

I used a new Static-Master brush for cleaning slides prior to scanning. I tried quite a few different techniques for cleaning my slides, including using a plain soft brush (no polonium). Honestly, I could not tell a difference in the effectiveness of the various cleaning strategies I used. Definitely not worth the extra cost for StaticMaster.
The brush does clean off loose dust and lint, of course, but it does not remove years-old specks that are stuck to the film. The latter was a far greater problem on some of the slides I dealt with. Again, definitely not worth the extra cost for StaticMaster. |

A classic still being made

| This is only the second one I've bought in more than 35 years simply because the first one lasted so long (although remember the element must be replaced annually). |
