Coral 31417 Zero-Loss 5 Paint Brush Set for a Seriously Good Finish and No Bristle Loss set 5 piece brush pack

Bought this set of 5 to replace some old bristle brushes. They are great to use, no drips. Easy application and clean very easily as well. An absolute bargain.

Oh blimey. I've bought all sorts of brushes on Amazon, being disappointed with most of them. But HERE IS the real thing. We unpack it and the first thing we notice is its sturdy make. Each brush is strong and flexible. We're advised to 'comb' each brush; I just ran my fingers down each brush slowly and firmly. Not ONE stray fibre! I did notice that, if you are a bit too rigorous and forget to keep your 'combing' STRAIGHT, the outside bristles take on a splayed shape. But as roon as I groomed them, they were back to normal. As an artist (not a decorator) these brushes spring well from paint onto canvas, leaving movement somehow; my work is far less static, and I didn't even know it WAS static till I compared the results. I think they are smooth operators, deserve more than 5 stars, and the 'push-back' on them is more then enough to ease aching hands for larger work; not every paintbrush has any spring-back at all. This movement does not detract from where you want to place your brush... each brush was the same - they had no side sweep, are great on curves. They feel, in fact, a bit like working with real quill pens and ink. Hold color well, right up to the ferule. Oh - just TREAT yourself.NB........AFTERTHOUGHT: How to store these brushes matters. I have mine in an old fox-mug, where they stand together with no mix of bristles causing later side-sweep. THESE BRUSHES NEED TAKING CARE OF and are worth it. They spring back into shape after use. I choose one, use, then lay it flat, its end just touching the main colours. LAY FLAT WHILST USING> Afterwards, clean as appropriate to your medium, then vigorously shake any excess water (et al) off. THEN, keep them in anything that's tall enough to have them protected at the ferrule... I used an old tin. I'd advise that, if tin makes them splay out too much like 12 red roses, find something taller. They'll stay close together and seem to like it! Bristles stay neat, grabbing any brush is easy, and most of all - have fun. These brushes can do surprisingly delicate work, the sides stay straight and no shedding whatsoever. They're a pleasure.

Perfect number of brushes for the job in hand

The best brushes I have ever used. Absolutely no shedding, easy to clean, very comfortable to hold, excellent price The perfect brush !

Great quality paintbrush set. I bought these to replace some old paintbrushes as I was tackling some home decorating jobs. The handles are ergometrically comfortable and the brush hairs don't come out leaving a professional finish. Competitively priced.

Although the brushes were really good, and I used three of them, when I came to use the last one to finish the job it had a huge lump of some kind on the bristles making it unusable. Amazon advised of defect and happy for return even though I advised that 3/5 brushes used.

Great value for money.

They look great, similar to my B&Q expensive ones, Time will tell.
