Hole cleaning brush. Designs which have bristles all the way to the end are preferred, and wire bristles are more effective.

A tool to brush the dust out of a drilled hole instead of a blow pipe, or in addition to a blow pipe, before inserting an anchor. As with a blow pipe, this allows the anchor or any glue to grip the rock better, increasing the strength. A brush could also be used to clean dust out of a spit nut, to allow the spit bolt to be fully inserted into it.
