FS / Ball Cleaner & Promotional Items

[worktheknight]

I have purchased the items and have put together these ball cleaners. They work excellent and have sold a number of them to personal home users and a few pool halls with nothing but great compliments. The total is $ 90.00 which includes shipping by ups to you. The packaging is the biggest pain, but, we get er done. No drills to hold and very portable so your not carrying the balls to a back room. Just set the bucket by the table and start cleaning. A complete set done in about 17 minutes without hand towels to dry the cue ball. Fantastic. Polishing pad and liner are replaceable, motor with replaceable pad has warranty and easily replaceable.
Next, we have a division that does shirts, caps, jackets, pencils, pens, watches, rulers, back scratchers, bandana's... on and on that your name can go on. We do not up charge the screen printing. Save huge money. Let me know by PM if your interested. I can send photo's if you leave me a e mail address.
Thanks

Those ball cleaners work great for cleaning one ball at a time.....if you put several balls in the bucket at one time you will see the balls slamming and colliding with each together.....run a set of balls in the bucket then take them out and look real closely at the balls, you will see collision marks all over them, that makes for a not so perfect clean or performance of the balls in play and makes for premature wearing of the finish on the balls....

I have made my own ball polisher/cleaner just like the one you show pictured..with trial and error I came up with a solution to stop the balls from contacting each other....

Not at all tying to bash for flame your sales, just trying to help so someone don't ruin a set of balls they spent hundreds of dollars on.

There are a whole bunch of threads on AZ how to make one of these bucket cleaners, along with making a carpet insert to separate the balls.

To the OP, you'll probably see more traffic if you also post in Wanted/ForSale.

This is true. I built mine and remedied the situation by fabricating a ball separator out of carpet. It holds 8 balls and works great. Super simple to construct. I just took strips of the carped and then glued them together in a star patern and then sewed them into the carpet liner of the bucket with fishing line (12 lb. test berkley trilene - it was handy at the time - ha ha). Works like a charm and for $45 or so for the materials, not a bad job.

In fact, $90 shipped isn't too bad a price if you ask me, to have this thing assembled by someone else. They're cheap and work pretty well.

Thanks for the information all. I have never had anyone contact me about scratching marks !! I wonder if folks are leaving them in to long and friction is causing heat between the balls if the wax disapates. I have contacted several of my past buyers and they are as suprised as I am. Not sure, we have a strong enough motor to do eight balls at a time as we leave the cue ball in for two cycles. I appreciate the heads up and will continue to contact past buyers. I've assembled and sold these now for two years without a complaint. I do feel it's friction as if you leave them run to long, the balls will dry and friction will build the heat?? Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
