My brush cable snapped mid-sweep yesterday - total mess inside the flue

Was doing a routine clean on a wood stove in a rental house. Got about halfway down the flue when the cable just gave out. Brush head dropped and jammed sideways at the first bend. Took me 45 minutes with a fishtape and a shop vac to get it out. What brand of brush cables have held up for you guys? I need something that wont snap after a few months.

Yeah man, that's a rough break. @theabarnes makes a good point about knowing what setup you're working with, but either way a snapped cable is a headache I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Wait, are we talking about a wood stove or a fireplace? Those are different setups with different cable needs.
