Best Bristle Paint Brushes of 2025

"I recently got the Pro Grade 5 Piece Paint Brush Set, and I’m really impressed with the quality and performance. This set has everything I need for a professional finish. The flat brushes cover larger areas, while the angled brushes are perfect for tight spaces. They’re comfortable to use, and cleaning them is a breeze!"

"I received them today and tried one. It's so nice to have a brush that follows my hand movements while painting. I was surprised at how good they are, especially since they were cheaper than my local store. Just remember to wash them out well after use!"

"These brushes are just as good as the professional-grade ones I’ve bought at hardware stores for double the price. They apply paint smoothly and evenly, and cleanup is easy. I’m really happy with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone!"

"I find these brushes incredibly useful for all sorts of tasks. They're excellent for cutting in corners when I'm painting. The only improvement I could suggest is to include shorter handles in the box for more options. Overall, they are lightweight and the strokes are smooth. Great value for the price!"

"I've used these brushes exclusively for spreading vinyl ester and epoxy resins. They have performed almost perfectly without losing a single bristle, even during the more challenging stages. This purchase has been an excellent value, and I would definitely buy more if needed!"

"I appreciate that these brushes are individually packaged. I have reused them multiple times without experiencing any bristle loss, and they are dense with great value for money. I would definitely buy them again!"

"I bought these brushes for work to apply encapsulating primer under a sink. I give them five stars because they are inexpensive without being cheap, come in a variety of brushes, and they work just fine! In fact, they outperformed the brushes my building's facilities team used, which shed bristles everywhere. They also cleaned up nicely, so I can use them again!"

"I got these brushes for a single-use project with paint stripper. Compared to the ones from Home Depot, they are of great quality at a great price. I hate to throw them out after using them because they are that nice! The size is perfect, making them a great value for money."

"While I wouldn’t recommend these for restaining my grandmother's irreplaceable dining table, they are a solid choice for one-time projects. A few bristles did come loose while painting, but it was less than 10 and not in clumps. The soft bristles were just the right firmness for repainting my coffee table. They arrived exactly as pictured."

“I believe these paint brushes are very high-quality. They come in a set of three, making them a great deal for the money. I've used them for painting my kitchen walls, doors, and even cabinets! They washed out easily, allowing me to reuse them throughout my projects. I'm confident they'll last for years if kept clean! I had no issues with brush strokes or shedding bristles. The paint went on smoothly and evenly! I highly recommend these to my family and friends, giving them a perfect 5 stars!”

“I find this product to be decent for the price. While the brushes aren’t the best, they worked well for edging and trimming. With our 15 ft. vaulted ceilings, I appreciated the longer handles that made it easy to reach the highest spots.”

“I really like these brushes. They're not super expensive, yet they work really well. Even after multiple uses, they don’t shed bristles onto my projects and maintain their shape.”

"I used these brushes for stain, poly coat, and paint touchups. They work great and are cheaper than big box stores!"

"These little brushes are fantastic for the price! I used them for cutting a textured ceiling and they were perfect. I lost about 8 bristles while painting two rooms, but that’s to be expected."

"For my epoxy tumblers, these brushes work absolutely perfect. The price is also great, and I would definitely buy them again!"

"I found these brushes to be perfect for painting and sealing my living room chest. I usually stick to Purdy brushes, but these performed beautifully, and the set size is impressive for the price. I definitely recommend them!"

"I frequently buy natural bristle chip brushes for various tasks like cleaning car parts and applying oils. Most brushes I've used lack density and uniformity, but these are different. The bristles are dense and exactly the same length, which makes cutting in stain much easier. I’ll be switching to these for all my chip brush needs!"

"For the value, these brushes are decent! They did the job for staining and coating a tabletop. They are shorter in bristle length compared to standard brushes and do shed a bit, but I just keep an eye on that to avoid any issues in my project."

“I recently purchased the Bates- Paint Brushes, 6 Pack for a home improvement project, and I'm extremely satisfied with their performance. The set includes three flat brushes and three angled brushes, which allowed me to tackle both large surfaces and detailed areas. The sturdy natural bristles hold more paint, resulting in a smoother finish with fewer streaks. The lightweight wooden handles made long painting sessions much easier. These brushes are also cost-effective and easy to clean. Overall, they're a fantastic addition to any DIY enthusiast's toolkit. Highly recommended!”

“I was pleasantly surprised by these brushes. I anticipated them being a step above a throw-away. I would have been happy to get two or three uses out of each. So far, they have been great. They hold a decent amount of paint but are not hard to clean. They are thin and pliable, and the bristles don’t separate, leaving no coverage gaps. They may not last as long as pricier brushes, but at this price, I can easily replace them as needed.”

“I used these for applying a variety of water and oil-based paints to metal with great results and no stray bristles. They cleaned up very easily with the water-based Corosol product. The value was excellent, and I would definitely purchase them again.”

“I found the natural hair double thick brush to be quite effective for my heavy oil-based enamel paint projects. It holds a lot of paint and is great for sloppy work like fuel tanks and underbody tasks.”

“While cleaning my rental home, I was surprised at how well this brush worked for touch-ups. It left no bristle marks unlike my more expensive brushes, making it perfect for quick painting tasks.”

“I don't primarily use it for painting, but it works wonders for cleaning my countertop after grinding coffee beans. Its thickness and softness make quick work of the mess.”

"I find this multi-pack of paint brushes superb. The three sizes are perfect for my small painting tasks using oil-based paint—there's no clean-up involved! It's a bit disappointing when I run out of them. I've learned to pull on the bristles before using them to remove loose ones, which can be annoying when they shed. Overall, a great product for my supply cabinet."

"These brushes are fantastic for my paint projects where I need a disposable option. I appreciate the assortment and the affordable price—definitely a great value!"

"I bought these brushes for applying fiberglass resin to my small-medium framed projects. I really dislike cleaning brushes, and these were inexpensive enough that I don’t mind tossing them afterward. However, they might not be ideal for detail work. Just a heads-up: if you're working with something that cures quickly, be careful as the bristles start falling out when it hardens."

"I bought this paintbrush set for single-use painting and touch-ups. I dislike cleaning expensive brushes; it's just too tedious. These brushes do a great job and are very affordable. I'll definitely be purchasing more!"

"For my projects, these brushes are perfect. I can use them, wrap them in aluminum foil for later use, and then throw them away. It's much easier than cleaning, and they still perform well. I'm all set for now!"
