Marshalltown Beaver Tail Brush, 13 1/2 Inch, Concrete, Assembled in the USA

I had read comments about bristles falling out, but decided to buy it and see if it was just an aberration and not a common thing. They do tell you that there will be stray hairs that come out, but that the number will diminish over time, so I will be patient. If the brush stops shedding hair after a period of time, I'll be fine with the brush. If it gets wispy compared to how full it is now, then I will change this rating. Until then, I really like the brush and will give it five stars. **EDIT The brush is great. A few bristles came out, but just as explained by manufacturer, the shedding stopped, and the brush remains full, soft and capable for brushing sawdust off my workbench and power tools. I'm very satisfied with it.

Our kitchen's 50+ years old and we got a quote for new cabinets. After the sticker shock, I figured I could build the cabinets myself. How hard could it be -- they're just a bunch of boxes, right? Anyway, I've never done anything like this before, but had room in the basement for a shop. After assembling all sorts of devices that spew sawdust and wood chips, I needed something to dust things off as I'm a bit uptight around messes. The brush has become an essential part of the shop, following me from station to station, deftly sweeping away the offending wood debris. The bristles passed the burn & smell test: plucking a few out (they're pretty firmly attached to the handle) and lighting them on fire smelled only of burning hair, not plastic. They're soft enough to move the fine dust yet together they clear piles of chips well. The handle's a good size and fits well in the hand. Good value for the money.

This is a very high quality and useful brush which is very handy around the home or shop.

Happy with quality

Very well made brush. The bristles are secure and don’t shed everywhere during use, which was a pleasant surprise compared to some cheaper brushes I’ve tried. It feels sturdy in the hand and holds up well to regular use. I’ve been using it to keep benches and work surfaces tidy in the greenhouse, and it works great for sweeping away soil, debris, and plant mess without being too stiff or harsh. Simple, solid tool that does its job well.

Great

Sturdy hand brush. Arrived promptly.

I've been using this brush to clean the floor. Hair, dusts, tiny debris can be easily moved and gathered using this brush. But, especially when I used this brush for the first time, I saw a number of bristles were shedding. I thought it may be inevitable and decided to see whether the shedding would continue to worsen or to improve. After dozen's of usage, I could find the shedding of bristles decreased significantly and not there is almost no shedding any more. I thought this is important because if the shedding does not stop at a certain point, then the bristle may disturb the floor and eventually the brush may become useless. It is nice to hold with one hand and the abundance of bristles and proper rigidity of the bristles make the cleaning easy and comfortable. And while this is known to be made out of natural hair, this brush may not damage any subtle surfaces it is touching. Well, I do not know whether this brush is expensive or cheap. But I think it is useful for certain situation. Recently I purchased "Old City" brushes but it is more expensive and was smaller than this one. The price of this brush was $12.45 when I purchased two on September, 2018. And I think Marshalltown 6443 Curb brush also can be used to clean the floor with ease. It has longer brush span and the brush has just adequate strength to be used to clean the floor.

Quality

Buen producto.

Really good

Some bristles started falling out straight away, I used PVA glue to stop more coming out. Works well now.

It works.
