Spent $80 on a soot-eater drill attachment and it paid off in one job

I bought one of those rotary soot-eater kits from the supply house in Akron after a customer with a wood stove had about half an inch of creosote buildup. Hooked it to my drill and cleaned that whole flue in 20 minutes instead of an hour with brushes. Anyone else use these things or do you stick to the old way?

Half inch of creosote? That's barely a dusting. I've seen fireplaces with it caked on so thick you could chip it off in chunks. Not really sold on a drill attachment for something that serious.
