Bates Chip Paint Brushes, 18 Pack, 1", 2", 3", Synthetic Bristles Painting Brushes Set, Chip Brush, Wood Stain Brush Set

We purchased these for staining some trim for a remodel project we did recently. The price point is such that we don’t care if we only get a couple uses out of them or if we’re really lazy and don’t want to clean them we can just discard them and not feel bad about it. That said, they are decent brushes and do the job as expected without costing you an arm and leg.

These are excellent brushes for the price. I have reused them many times and they still hold up well. Very little shedding, easy to clean and best of all NO ANIMAL hair, all synthetic.

Great brushes

Excellent value, wooden handle, synthetic bristles. I use for cleaning my electronics and base coats on canvas.

That are ok for the value. They do indeed she'd but not as much as some other ones I've used. They did the job I needed them to. One of the bigger ones is about to fall apart though. The nails keep coming out that hold the metal in place. I keep pushing them back in but they pop out and it gets wiggly. They are easy to clean and as I stated did the job. I used it on weather sealer for a cat house made of wood.

I hate cleaning brushes and now I don't have to. I have some projects lined up for the summer, so got these so I can go grab a clean brush and just start slapping some quick paint around on a random thing that needs a little sprucing up. The bristles on these are better than I expected TBH. These aren't top-notch professional interior brushes, but, y'know, they're closer to those than you'd think.

Brush quality is incredible. Minimal shedding, super easy to clean. They work perfectly! For the price and quantity, it's definitely worth it.

I buy a lot of natural bristle chip brushes. I use them for cleaning various things like car parts, for applying oils and greases, and for some exterior staining projects where you’re doing a horizontal surface or you don’t need a perfectly smooth finish, like a deck. Most natural bristle chip brushes are adequate in their bristle count. They’re not dense and they’re definitely not equal length. If I need a brush with a tight brush edge I have to trim them with scissors. These are nothing like those. The bristles here are very dense. They are all the same exact length which means cutting in stain is much easier. The bristles hold more product too. I plan on switching to these for all chip brush needs.

These art brushes are excellent, especially for working on larger pieces. The bristles hold paint beautifully, allowing for smooth, even coverage and effortless blending across big areas. They’re comfortable to hold, making long painting sessions much easier on the hands. The quality is impressive for the price, offering professional-level performance without breaking the bank. Whether you’re creating bold strokes or subtle gradients, these brushes handle a variety of techniques well. Overall, they’re a fantastic value and a reliable addition to any artist’s toolkit.

Good value for the money done what I needed them for

I am an apartment dweller, and these brushes are the right quality, the right variety of sizes and all at the right price, for the types of jobs I have to do in my home from time to time. When I need brushes again, I will re-purchase these.

good performance except sedding a hair or two here and there.

Dollar for value, these are decent paint brushes! You could buy paint brushes at the dollar store to get the job done, but for the money spent on these brushes, you can get a decent paint job done. Paint brushes were used to stain and coat a table top. The brush bristles are shorter than standard (by a bit), and it DOES shed a small bit of bristles, so have to keep an eye on that otherwise it will paint into your project.
