Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the paint brush. They mention that the foam comes apart after a few minutes of use, the glued edges became separated, and the plastic insert easily snaps off. The foam does not readily release the polyurethane, and it seems to shred a little but easier than big box foam brushes.

"...back & forth brush stroke for more than a few passes before the head pops off and goes tumbling (with paint!) onto the floor...." Read more

"...Either the plastic tang breaks or they wear out and start dropping bits of black foam on my work...." Read more

I have been building "Heirloom Quality" custom woodwork for 30+ years and have use almost every type of stain that one could imagine- ammonia fumes, berry tints and most modern oil and water based stains - now I am giving alcohol/water dyes a try, something new to me, but it would be very helpful in working with some species of wood that doesn't take stain well- the first thing that crossed my thoughts was how to apply such a coloring - These foam brushes work very well and are very cost efficient, if anyone is working with a similar tint/coloring medium as dye , these are they way to go- at a very good price for the quantity

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than competitive products
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2013

These are a far lower price than purchasing them one at a time or even in three packs sometimes offered at big box stores. If you are looking to purchase just one or two, the best quality and lowest price ones can be found at Michaels or similar craft stores. Online, these are the best combination of price and quality that I found. I've tried others -- Woodstock -- they were horrible. The handles fell off ALL OF them after about 1 minute of use.

The Loew Cornell brushes are far higher quality. In particular, they shed less foam and the handles hold on better. Not to say that I have not had problems. Typically a few in each package have the handles falling off. I'm not sure if this is because the holes in the handles are too large, if they did not use glue where they should have.

That said, even with a success rate of 17/20, I found them to be better quality than similar looking products at Home Depot, Lowes, or the Woodstock ones offered on Amazon.

hello,
foam brushes used to be the laughing stock of painting and staining, but in more recent times, they have gone up a million steps in usefulness. once, painters never used these foam brushes siting bad quality and not leaving a fine imprint like camel hair brushes. but for all of those comments, each type of brush has its own usefulness and character. we needed an applicator for a teak oil staining application. first we tried the "hair" brushes, but it left too many bubbles on the surface. it also left stray hairs from the brush when applying the oil. now, the foam brush soaks up just the right amount of teak oil and applies it to the surface without too many bubbles. the slower you work, the less bubbles it creates. what is left on the surface gets soaked up by the teak wood. so, a relatively bubble free recoated surface. it applies the oil to the wood evenly and most of the time, does not run on vertical surfaces. do we need 20 brushes? not really, but every 4-6 months, a new brush is needed for putting on another touch up coat of oil on the surfaces. if the foam brush dries to some level of hardness, get out the next brush and move to the next wood project. this is a great product and will last for quite some time

3.0 out of 5 stars Quality is good, but size isn't right (see review)
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2018
Item Package Quantity: 1Verified Purchase
The brushes are actually pretty good quality and worked very well for a series of varnishing jobs and a bit of painting that had to be done. Held up well -- even better than brushes I had gotten locally. And the price was very good for 20 pieces.
BUT--- Although advertised as 2 inches wide -- and even individually marked as 2 inch brushes, they are really only 1 & 3/4 inches wide. I would have given 4 or even 5 stars, but this is such a simple thing to get right that I feel it is deceptive (especially as each brush handle says "2 inches"). Maybe the manufacturer was using a defective ruler, but the real reason is likely not so much of a joke.
I'll buy again and I will recommend them, but know you are getting less than 2 inch wide -- if that is really critical (and for my use it wasn't).

These are really poor quality. The stick hardly goes into the foam and there is an extremely small piece of plastic (undersized for its intended function) with a staple through the plastic. Once the foam fills with either stain or poly, it becomes useless. On the first brush, as I swiped back and forth, where the staple is located the foam collapsed the foam then came off in little pieces and I could only use the brush in one direction (good thing I was only staining was able to remove the crumbling foam. Because the piece of plastic is so short (it supports the foam) it doesn't do its job and the foam brush becomes absolutely useless. I was lucky I had exam gloves, because I had to put two fingers on the foam to give the correct pressure.

You will become frustrated and angry at the low quality of these brushes. Save yourself some grief and don't purchase.
