What the heck is this gadget called ?

[DuncanDisorderly]

I was loaned one of these brushes by CarolineS to do some framing - and it was excellent at removing dust from the inside of the glass.
I've given it back to her and would like to buy one for myself.

But no matter what I Google I seem to find nothing remotely like it.
I've been to artist supply shop websites and drilled down their menu systems and didn't have any luck either.
I suspect I'm looking for the wrong thing.

What's one of these brushes called?
It's got a convenient sliding cover to keep it clean and I suspect it's anti-static.
Help me please - thanks

looks like an old arctic butterfly visible dust wand

Nice try - I've Googled that and it seems it's a sensor brush.
I'm looking for something bigger to remove dust from the inside of glass frames.
The brush I was using was about 1.25" across the bristles when closed.

Somewhere I have a Thunderon brush which sounds very similar (but is a bit more 'industrial'). I could only find this website in the USA after a very quick Google.

Looks very much like a pastry brush to me. :shrug:

Got one of these from the pound shop, in the computer section, for cleaning dust off moniters and it is antistatic.

Poundshops have similar brushes for cleaning keyboards etc.

Aha! That's just jogged my memory as I got something similar at Focus a couple of years ago from the Lenspen stand

My good lady wife say's you need a dust bunny! Nope not a pet name for your Swedish cleaner who appears in your fantasies but one of these:

Or apparently any goat hair brush is good for dust on glass.

Pound shop - I never thought of that
Got one near me that's well stocked - Monday lunchtime here I come.

I want a Thunderon just for the name
Looks the business too.
And a bit of Googling reveals there are some UK resellers

Fabs - obviously a man of many talents
I'm not sure about the Lenspen - cool computer gadget but I'm not sure about using on an A2 frame.......

I've been getting rid of dust bunnies for years
But that looks like an excellent suggestion, nice price too

Excellent suggestions - many thanks
