Yes, it's called an Onzow ZeroDust stylus cleaner.
I don't really need a lint roller for my records but have been wanting to get one for my platters. This way I can clean then before putting clean records on them.
I don't think you understood my question. Or I don't understand what this thread is about - thought it was about the Vinyl Buddy?
I think that's a better way to use it. I've argued against this product until I was blue in the face, but my opponents couldn't grasp my point.
Good to know Aladdin, a seal of approval. The best brush I've ever had was an ancient UK product, Parastat. It was a million white fibers, I don't know of what material, an inch long and stiff enough to reach deep but not damage — and every bristle is sharpened to a point. Each one is like a stylus, reaching to the bottom. And like a stylus, you can hear them — they "play" every groove simultaneously, and audibly. I've had it 25 years, it lasts — and I found another, NIB, on a recent trip to Cape Town. If you run across it, give it a spin...
BTW, is your name Aladdin-sane, or Aladd-insane?
Let us know.
FWIW, I use mine after all my other brushes, only for the micro-dust they leave behind. I worry that, if there's something big or hard or abrasive on the LP, the roller might grind it in.
I found the same thing with my roller. On my old Thorens, in the Winter, whenever I would take a record off the platter, there was a huge crack of static. Usually going through me on the way ! Now, I use the record Doctor Machine first then simply use a carbon fiber brush to finish it.Interesting....
I saw a lint roller back in the eighties that looked just like that. It did well on records removing dust, but created a huge static charge. I think I will keep watching the progress of this thread.....
So please do tell what you find out !!!!!
Just got one.....nice sticky pliable surface !!

I also tried to neutralize it using Discwasher Zerostat, but that did nothing. I think it was a counterfeit. $90 down the drain.
This thing just didn't feel right. The trigger was bent I think internally, so it would never return to its resting position. I always had to push it back using the back of my fingers. The test light worked but never very brightly. Is that the way it should work?I've had a Zerostat (White one) since they were first introduced. IME if you squeeze the trigger and hear clicks you're squeezing the trigger too fast.
