Painted for 25 years. Still learning. Great channel. Good insights & information on products & tools.
been binging you videos for weeks now. Great videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them. You'll always get a thumbs up from me.
Thank you Chris for an honest take on brushes.
Now this was a great video. Anxious to try out my new Montauk brush for cutting in a room this weekend.
Good morning Chris and Family, thanks for the autographed photos of you and your daughter. I ordered the Premiere brushes Riverdale, Montauk and Hampton from you and did receive them in perfect condition, excellent packing job. I am really shocked at how well the brushes feel and look, these brushes will probably become my number one go to out side of my Proform Technologies Picasso brushes, Purdy and Wooster have been pushed to the back of the line. Thanks for this very informative video and sharing your trade with everyone.
I love the Picasso !!! Best one out there !!
I just asked if you used a stinger in another video! I used one, and when I was a rookie- it was good! Kind of like training wheels- but I love my Purdy hi cap and those yellow Kelly- Moore brushes way more! Great video, brother!
Always use the Rembrandt from Arroworthy on walls sharp straight lines and extra long cuts. Twice as long as any other brush. Corona Excalibur on everything else, really fine trim work picasso brushes
Super review Chris! 👍
I haven't seen a lot of detail on brush bristle types at the hardware store. Maybe I've seen "nylon" listed. Thanks for pointing out the distinctions. I'll keep that in min.
Great review. I've been painting for 35 years I generally use the purdy nylon sash angled. I'm getting ready to head to the premier website now and take a look at them
Very informative thanks for posting buddy!
LiberRaider 🤙
I'm giving the stinger pro a run tomorrow. Worried about roping, but double dipping makes it the perfect time to first coat. I appreciate the time you spend, I have painted my whole life, but it is nice to see someone else as passionate. Rock on
Let me know your thoughts🤙
@@Idahopainter I'm gonna try my new stinger and whiz roll out the brush lines ..love your channel
That purdy angle sash 2nd one from the top left of the screen is a keeper foshurr!
Great review as always..Will look into the premier brushes!! Keep up the good work and taking time to post videos
Thank you! I just got a present today - the brush. I like the feel of it. But I just learned that it is So Expensive ! The most expensive brush! I wish I would not know about the price. I will use it tomorrow painting.
I’ve been using a Wooster for years but I’d like to try these too. Thsnks
Just purchased my first Wooster Alpha. Can't wait to try it out.
Good choice!
I have used a lot of brushes, and alot of them are dang near identical. Ultimately, with my prices at SW, I run what they have. I like the Purdy brushes. Seems we are doing more and more latex. I like the way the clearcut elite puts down a good amount of material, but without being sloppy. I get a real good cut. It's stiff, but not overly stiff, and bends back perfectly. I use a 3 inch mainly and I like the way it fits my hand and gives me control. I hold the ferulle when I paint. Others may be different. I use the handle to sling, slop and clean.
Really I like a lot of the Purdy offerings. The Purdy XL has been another go to brush for quite some time. Also have an array of other sizes and styles. Some used much more than others. I also use a little nylox quite a bit. Also have several black bristle adjutants that give a nice finish when using oil.
I honestly can't keep up with all the names. May be better alternatives out there. I do a whole lot of business with SW, so in my case at least I have Good prices. Good brushes, and I know what I'm getting every time. Alot of painters say "Purdy really went downhill since SW bought them out." Of course meanwhile, they're buying pretty much the exact brush. Most good quality brushes in this price range are built similarly and most use dupont filaments.
Anyway.... That's just my take on it.
I haven't used one, but the premier brushes look pretty good. May have to try one out sometime.
Thanks Chris for the content. God bless 👊
Hey man, just found your channel and I'm glad to see an intelligent painter. Loved this video, glad you exposed the gimmick "stinger" brush. Ya cant reinvent the wheel, right? The Lucus brush is beautiful and I might try one. Personally I prefer a stiff brush. I know painters that prefer really soft brushes. Ok, I live in Memphis and started painting as an apprentice for a commercial/industrial painting company. I was taught by the book, though I was surprised that there was a book, but there is. I'm so glad I learned from a company that was about quality. I was taught to cut in with a big block 3" brush. I mean everything we painted no matter how big or small, you only had one brush. You would catch hell if you bought a thin body brush, yelled at if you were caught painting with anything smaller than a 3" brush. Before you were hired, the superintendent would want to see your hands tools. If there was a sash or angled brush in your bag, your application was tossed in the garbage. When I went out on my own, I didn't allow angled brushes. Most guys were perplexed as to why. I found that painters that weren't from the south used angled brushes. What are your thoughts? Do you think an angled brush is better? Have you used both and found more success with and angled brush or what?
Thanks for great videos! Do you know how to get appliances like you have eg. masking devices from europe?
I'm a DYI kind of guy with a fair amount of construction experience and know how and do all my projects around the house myself, whether it's painting sheetrocking, electrical, plumbing, etc. I'm in no way a pro painter, so I've had very little luck at successfully cuting in. I gave the Stinger brush a shot this week and have to say, I had much better success with it than any other brush I've tried. Granted, all the brushes I've tried were before I saw this video. While the stinger was a success, I may try the Premier montauk brush for my many future projects. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing
At first i was sceptical i am a Wooster ultra firm all the way i bought one of each of stinger we are now hooked i like the amount of paint they apply to rough fascias and also the sharp as heck edges it takes a week of daily use before it settles in im currently in contact asking for a long handle ole school 3.5 stiff angle for heavy exterior use and they have said yes
Premier Montauk is the best brush I've ever used for cutting in. It is like a Corona Cortez with a slightly better taper.
A 3" sash Wooster is definitely my favorite!
Say fam do you remember those GREEN HANDLE CHINA BRISTLE WOOSTER 3'.
great info chris thnx
Chris: You mentioned roping. I'm doing lots of interior trim right now, and I am not a great painter (but I'm careful); is there a brush (or mini-roller) that you can recommend that shows brushstrokes/stippling less than others? Would you recommend a 3" for interior trim? Thanks!
Iam ordering a Lucas from your EBay shop this week gift to myself probably a stinger aswell I like the look
Those “Avante” brushes from harbor freight are incredible...like half the price of normal brushes, handles have to be sanded down a little but they are quality 7 out of 10 brushes, could have all brush sizes you could ever need for $100 stocked in the van minus specialty bristles
Just bought 3 todays
Try NOUR perfect finish. Great brushes and under $6 for 2.5 angle
I only use 2 different paint brushes for everything. A Purdy 3 In. Nylo Peacock black bristle and a Purdy 2.5 in. Clearcut sash. Once a year I may need a throwaway or an artist brush. That's all you'll ever need.
Elder&Jenks genX are by far the best brushes. They're great for cutting in crown molding and chair rails. Their black china oil brush has lasted six years so far.
3" angle sash purdy i think the name is pro extra the blue bristle chinex nylon polyester blend. Good cleaning i guess because of the chinex and last a long time. Also wooster chinex or corona chinex. Awesome cleaning and great outside
Good video - you definitely appear to be a pro painter, good info even though I've never heard of these paint brushes. But, Wooster Ultra-Pro and their Alpha work really well for me. With Purdy, not so good as these are the brushes I have been using. I just can't get Purdy's to work the way the Wooster does. Not sure why, maybe its just to me, The Purdy leaves more brush marks that I have to go back over. Even the cheaper Wooster Soft tip is a good brush for me, but I'm not a pro painter painting every day and I would think good pro's don't use this cheapy brush but I would recommend it but its heavy
I'll take my Wooster Extra Firm all day, doesn't get any better.
I've been painting for close to 10 years now and here's what I've found...for anyone who cares.
Interior
Purdy pinks for doors. Coverage is great. If you have to roll and brush cabinet carcasses, they also work real well for that.
I like Purdy browns for ceiling cuts but Corona Tynex is really good as well. Browns hold more paint, in my opinion.
Corona Tynex for trim that isn't being sprayed.
Corona China bristle brushes are freaking amazing. Haven't used another since since my first day finding them.
Exterior
Corona Chinex for fascia and trim. Wow, what a brush. Purdy blues are also an excellent choice.
If you back brush homes (most people don't) use a Corona or a Purdy pink to smooth out the paint so it doesn't leave deep brush Mark's.
I love the Corona Tynex 1.5" angle sash for window details. It's stiff and smooth at the same time.
I have not used a Wooster brush in the entire time I've been painting that I have been impressed with. Maybe I'm missing something or the places I've been don't sell their better brushes but they seem cheap to me. I've used Primier once or twice but I haven't used them enough to have an opinion.
I love your channel man. It's really cool to hear what you say and read the comments. PAINT LIFE MAFIA!
The China bristles are oil brushes. The Chinex is a bone colored bristle and is not for oil.
When I worked for Aboffs in NY they made and still make our private label brush. Great brushes half the price. Moved to Florida and can't find them here.
Please advise. I am an artist who paints with acrylic( water based paint looking for a more durable paint brush. Many artist acrylic brushes are very vague about what the bristles are made of. “Synthetic” is the best description I get. So I am looking to find different wider brushes the can be used for different purposes. Smooth application, blending or scubbling. Scubbling is not a problem as most old brushes will work. But smooth blending without streaking is an issue. Can you make some recommendations? Thanks
I really love the stinger it dose cut ins grate good and sturdy been painting strong for 5 years
Good brush
I think the Corona brush as the best tynex/Orel is hands down the best to me. Beside Lucas pro tools obviously but even then I don’t care for oval shape and I also use thick stock unless on trim inside
Is the Lucas available for purchase anymore ? I can’t find it online
i have to be honest...ive only been painting a little over a year but i literally only use one brush...purdy pro extra, could be lack of experience but i just love the different sizes of that brush for anything and everything
Its an overall solid brush to be honest. I'll never forget the first time using one lol
It's good to know what others think of various tools.
I just bought a Red Frost 2 1/2" angled brush to try out. I really like Wooster brushes but I saw this in Home Depot and liked the feel of the bristles so I decided to give it a try.
Thanks for sharing
@@Idahopainter
I used that brush for the first time today. It's a 2 1/2" angled brush. I'm interested to see what you think of it. I'm applying Benjamin Moore Regal Select H 190 Black in Pearl finish over a white primed fiberglass door as well as previously finished Andersen 400 windows with their sashes, jambs and casings. I'm surprised! It's as smooth, if not smoother than my Wooster Chinex or Ultra Pro brushes or the Purdy sash brushes that I own. It covered as good as could be expected for black over white but it didn't produce any heavy brush lines. It held and released paint well and cleaned to like new.
Cannot beat Australian brushes hands down
The goood ol’ monarchs
Monarch advance all the way
I did think that spiderman brush looked too much of a gimmick . I'll try one of those Premier brushes though they do look decent , i've been using a 3" Wooster FTP chinex for a few months on interiors and the filaments and ferrule still look new , only the handle is a giveaway that it's not a new brush , they really do clean up brilliantly. I used to like Arroworthy Finultra brushes but found the filaments wore down too quicky , they cut in a dream though when new.
How can someone purchase any of the caps or shirts you have?
Hello brother. I wanted to know what is your favorite brush for interior. To cut in the the walls and also for trim? I use the Purdy brushes from Sherwin Williams. I’d like to try something new.. Thanks brother. I wanted to say that I really like that you put Bible references on your videos! God bless you and your family.
I like the proform cs2.5avs best brush for 8.00
Came for the stinger review.. well done.. no bweeno
Excellent review.

I like my shoe shine brush.It is 100% horse hair .I use it for shoes and paint my room. Works very good .
Have y'all ever used the Staalmeester brushes? I was thinking of getting some
Matthew Miller I have a couple. Amazing brushes
Great informative video as always, ah, your not related to Tommy Smothers are you?
What do you think about ox hair brush for oil paint on wood trim?
Thanks for the comment! I featured your question in my Q and A video: ua-cam.com/video/lpOFeAlVVV4/v-deo.html
Chris, as far as I know China bristle (natural hog bristle) bushes are the only brushes referred to as having bristles, nylon , tynex, chinex etc are referred to as having filaments . Please correct me if I’m mistaken.
Daniel Geng I cant correct you cause I am not sure and never heard that before but you may as well be correct
I believe Daniel is correct. All synthetic products (nylon/poly/etc) should be referred to as filaments. Only natural bristle is technically “bristle.”
I used the stinger brush for about a month on interior commercial job for regular cut in lines and after about a month the blue bristles would poke through the front red ones ! It was super annoying I wouldn’t recommend it !
Wooster ftp chinex. Best interior repaint performance right out of the box in my opinion.
Agreed.👍
Those are pretty great brushes!
Have you heard of Fatco brushes, and if so, what is your opinion of them?
Good review ~
Daniel Geng thanks🤙

Just ordered the stinger , I’ll let ya know what I think
Please do

When You bought that Lucas Brush did they ask You if You have a Brother? For $125 bucks you can buy seven or eight 2-1/2" brushes so yeah I reckon they will replace the bristles see that's how you've already bought seven or eight of them when you bought one. If you want a 3-inch brush that holds a ton of paint try a Bestt-Liebco 3" Oval Brush. They're DuPont Tynex Nylon/Orel Polyester Blended Bristles. These particular oval 3in brushes that I'm speaking of are straight brushes not angled, they're egg shaped. They have the longest bristles of any 3" brush I've ever seen and they have more bristles of any 3" inch brush I've ever seen they work just like any other three inch flat brush that you'll get except being oval in the center they're much thicker which accounts for them having many more bristles. They have stainless ferrules and the handles are made of Beach. They're stained and then finished with satin polyurethane, really nice. is the heaviest 3 special ever put in your hand they feel like they weigh 5 lbs (I'm exaggerating a little) that's because I have so many damn bristles in them. The bristles are about an inch longer than any brush that I've seen extremely long wearing. would you have fairly short bristles you do have better control with them but it doesn't take long before the rush warriors down the begins to feel stubby. With really low bristles like these it takes you a little bit of time to get used to the controlling them but what you get it down you can go a country mile with one dip of the brush. I had one for years and never wore it out. I eventually lost somewhere and couldn't find another one. They are by far the longest lasting brush I've ever owned. Another really long bristled 3 inch brush that holds a lot of paint is a Purdy XL Titian. These are full stock Brushes with 4 rows of bristles in them. Purdy XL Titian's come in a 4" size also. The Purdy XL Swan has 3 rows of bristles with a square ferrule. These are my favourite in the 3-1/2" size for 6 panel doors and exterior trim except windows. They're great for siding and cutting in interior walls too. Try a Purdy DuPont Syntox (synthetic 🐂 ox hair). These are the finest grade of synthetic bristles made, great for laying on a mirror smooth finish (especially with thin paint) on cabinets, furniture, etc. You can use Syntox with Oil Base Paint and/or Varnish also. I still like the Wooster 3" or 2-1/2" Yachtsman White China Bristle for solvent (oil) base finishes, especially oil/alcohol base stain. Synthetic bristles will not work for stain. The little 2-1/2" Wooster white China Bristle Brushes with the pencil handle Brushes are great too but the 3" version of this brush has much shorter bristles (don't know why). They feel way too stubby right out of the gate. Hope this helps You.
God Bless 🙏😇 Y'all

@@Idahopainter Y'all are more than welcome. Painting was my whole life until I fell from a 24-foot ladder it broke my back and forth places. I was mr. Picky extra careful with ladders but it only takes one accident and it doesn't matter how picky and careful you are you can still get hurt I'm living proof of that. I can't walk very good but I'm thankful that I can even walk at all. I wish we live close together like I say I would love to go out on some of your jobs and just see what you're doing I wouldn't expect to get paid or nothing I just like to go you know I mean I've done this my whole life and I really miss not being able to get out there and work. I started helping my Grandad paint stuff in the early seventies and was doing it full-time professionally from 1980 onward. I don't know everything and I don't pretend to but I do know a lot of stuff because I painted probably longer than you are old. I'm guessing you're about 35 and I'm 56 as of July 4th which was my birthday I was born 1963 July 4th. At any rate you feel free to call me anytime at (910)-818--3279 I'll be glad to help you with anything that I can. If I don't know something I won't Bullshit you I'll just tell you I don't know. It's a lot better to tell somebody the truth then it is to mislead them costing them money trying to sound too smart by half.
God Bless 🙏😇 Y'all

@@Idahopainter Awhile back you had a video about power washing. I posted a rather lengthy reply not realizing this video was a year or more old. My reply was about a product called an X jet. This product is manufactured here in North Carolina in the research triangle Park. When you get it all rigged up for the first time you can have a designated line specifically for this xjet. this way you don't have to rig and under to get every time you need to wash a house. What you do with this is you have your set up rig up and you can wash a 5000 or larger square foot two-story house standing on the ground. It shoots water 40 or 50 foot high in the air depending on the size of the power washer you have. When I had my big 3500 PSI 4 gallon per minute Graco washer that was belt driven it would shoot bleach and water 55 feet straight up into the air like a fire hose. The most I've ever had to do was climb a few rungs up on a step ladder to spray the very peak of a Gable on a tall house. I couldn't quite reach all the way to the peak in the center of the Gable. You can't imagine how much time you can save when you can wash a house standing on the ground without ever having to climb or use one of those really long extension wands. just imagine being able to stand flat-footed on the ground and blast one or two stories tall in the air like you have a fire hose in your hand and then you will get some idea how fast you can wash your house. If all I have to do is watch the house itself the driveways sidewalks and decks I can wash a 5000 square foot house in about an hour. It is so easy and so fast I can't even begin to tell you. If you use an X jet once you will never wash your house will that it again. This is the equivalent of you driving a Ford pinto with manual brakes and manual steering 3 speeds on the column I'm switching up to a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce limousine. if you want to know more about this I can give you a much better description talkin to you over the phone this product will save you so much time and money it would pay for itself halfway through your first job. The last one I bought was $175 and that was about 10 years ago even if they're $250 now or $500 they're still worth it. I've been out there more than about 200 or 250 they made me the same price or they could have come down because they were just starting to get more prevalent when I got mine that was my second one that I had bought. My phone number is:

Feel free to call me anytime 24/7/365 and 366 on leap year!!
If you don't own an X jet you need one 5 years ago. as I said it would be much easier for me to explain it to you over the phone rather than try to type it out and you trying to talk back and forth to me why typing stuff is just so much simpler to talk to a live person especially when you're trying to describe something to them if you want to know more about this xjet in the way I rigged it up feel free to call me at the number I have posted. If you do not get me please leave me a text and I will return your call. Best wishes in all your endeavors.
God Bless 🙏😇 Y'all and Your Families

PD. Please let me know if you get this message. Thanks!!
I like blaze range
Purdy 3” semi oval, holds a gallon... also Picasso 3” semi oval... since going to the ovals I find it very difficult to use anything else great glide, and looooong cuts between dips
Oval brushes are good but too much paint sticks into him and dries out
Where did you find a purdy oval brush? Cant find them anywhere not even online
dillonnj45 l. Sherwin Williams store... my local store isn’t going to stock them anymore but said they can still order them... this summer at Aubochons ( a local to New England kinda mom n pop hardware store) actually had a 3.5” oval for exterior as well
@@justinlonge6191 what the hell man they don't have them any where in washington state me and a friend have been looking for ever, sherwin bought out purdy and sapousedly discontinued the oval brushes
dillonnj45 l. My local rep told me they won’t be stocking them anymore but wold still be able to order them for me, I would assume you can find them online somewhere
I always use corona brushes they are very good!!. Make a review of the Coronas brushes Chris see if you like them.
I do like them!🤙
WARREN PRO 3000 ,THE HOOK,
Professional paint brush
High quality nylon/polyester bristles
Do a review on blue bristle brush from sherwin william
All the boys love those brushes. Think at one time they were called"blue swanns".
I just started using them not to long ago so far best brushes I used I feel like it worth the money
Good inside and out
I always enjoyed the blues but they never last as long as other synthetic bristles, prob why they're cheaper. Still worth it
Corona chinex simply the best .🤜
Wooster 3 1/2 inch cut brush for $11 bucks. Not gonna beat em
Give me my PURDY 3' PRO STIFF BLUE NYLON.
Corona's and Purdy's and a nice ox hair for oil.
@@reducecotwo those ox hairs are great material must be thinned to get the proper flow
@@johnhaynes8049 ...Yes, very nice with a little Penetrol.
@@reducecotwo exactly
The Montauk and The Hampton. Definitely a Long Island NY Company.
Yep
If you are a painters apprentice are you expected to buy your own brushes and tools?
Hey let's make a petition to Lucas for them to make a 3.5" angle brush. Its 2019 people.
Then the price will go even higher. The bigger the brush the more $$$
All the Stinger needs is an "As Seen On TV" sticker.
Corona is a great brush
pure bristle which have been used with water based paints for years then there saying you have to use plastic brushes.
You don’t natural bristle brushes for latex paint.. moreover how the hell do you cut a line or not get insane brush marks lol ...
Will never use Purdy will never use Wooster corona best brush i ever used hands down is arrowworthy finultra nyln polyester paint pick up is amazing with a razor edge and holds it stiffness over time I have used same brush for months before replacing with proper care i have 9 years painting experience started at 20
If your want to step your painting game hight recommended
Have you used a Corona? The brush not the beer
What do u think about corona
If you like Corona, the premier are almost identical but I find them to be a little nicer than the Corona. The Montauk is like the Corona Cortez but a nicer taper. Excellent for doing cuts.
#1Corona excalibur for cutting walls
#1 Corona angle king for trim.
Purdy chinex for walls
Wooster chinex for walls
ALL ELSE ARE JUNK
Purdy,.
Beechwood is nothing special. It’s used for gun stocks on cheap firearms and air guns as a cheap alternative to walnut. Great wood, but nothing special.
mate its monarch or nothing
Really don't need the entire company history, just need to know if it works
Ok!
Never like using synthetic brushes. You don’t get the same purchase or control. Rather have hair brushes.
For latex paint ??? Lol nooo
I'll stay with ones I can get at Lowes And Home Depot.
Those are all junk !!!

This is an advertisement.

Anyone who spends 125.00 for a paint brush us crazy, I don't care how good it is it's only for putting paint on your surface. There are plenty of good brushes out there that's reasonable. If you take care of your brush it will last many years.
Only his brushes are good, how predictable
Wooster all the way baby
They do make some good brushes
