Purdy 144152725 Pro-Extra Glide Paint Brush, 2-1/2 in.

Sheded a little then stopped

Overall great brush!!

A little more expensive than other brushes and worth every penny, especially with Amazon pricing. We're just homeowners that do a lot of our own work and maintenance. Over many years and many projects, we've learned that good quality rollers and brushes are definitely worth spending a bit on because they will save you time, reduce drips/spills, and improve the finish. Additionally, if cleaned and maintained well, these will last a surprisingly long time. Based on many hours of painting projects, Purdy are our go-to brushes. Love 'em.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there is nothing like having the correct tool for the job. Don't cheap out on paintbrushes, people. It is simply not worth it. Invest in Purdy brushes and keep them clean and they will far outlast those cheap imitations. I invested in a paintbrush cleaning brush (yes, there is such a thing) that is part comb, part brush, and use it with a wee bit of dish soap to clean my Purdy brushes with success. As far as functionality, the Purdy delivers when you are actually painting.

Great brush

There's a reason why most professional house-painters use Purdy brushes -- their quality is unmatched. Yes, they cost about 3 times as much as an "average" brush, but if you take care of it, it will last damn near forever. I am blown away by how well-made this brush is, especially compared to a $5 brush that you can find just about anywhere. If you're going to do any kind of painting in and around your house, buy this brush -- you won't regret it, despite the fact that it's so much more expensive than most other brushes on the market. You definitely get what you pay for in this case.

did some pretty heavy duty painting over the past few days and man has this brush held up. Getting behind radiators isn't easy on brushes (and you can't use a roller). held the paint well, didn't drip all over the place and it kept it's form time and again as i changed paint colors, washed it, and slapped on paint all over the place. it also gives a great edge. started out using tape but paint would get underneath it ruining that fine line. before long, the tape was gone, and with the help of this brush, straight lines!

Great brush, that's all that needs to be said. Cutting-in with a cheap brush will make your walls look like a five-year-old painted them. A good brush is a MUST HAVE if you are doing any kind of painting that needs to be cut-in (especially when the ceiling is a different color than the walls). I have painted 3 rooms and 2 hallways with this brush and it holds plenty of paint, cleans up well, and does everything that a professional brush needs to do. For the price you cannot beat it, I would recommend this brush to anyone.
