The Ultimate Companion for a Flawless, Streak-Free Finish
Color: Black Size: 2 Inch, 16 Pack
I’ve been using these Bates 2-Inch Foam Paint Brushes in combination with my gloss projects, and they are an absolute game-changer. If you want a smooth, professional application, the value for money here is honestly mind-blowing. You get a massive 16-pack that is priced so affordably, it feels like a steal for the quality you're getting. What I love most is the durability—these aren't just "one-and-done" disposables. They actually last a lifetime as long as you make sure to wash them out thoroughly right after use. They handle liquids well, and because of the thickness of the foam, they hold a generous amount of product without any leakage or messy dripping, giving you total control over your workspace. The 2-inch size is incredibly versatile; it’s the perfect "fits-all" dimension that works seamlessly on all types of work, whether you're covering large areas or touching up smaller, detailed surfaces. I also noticed that because they apply such a smooth, even coat, the product itself seems to dry more quickly and cleanly compared to using standard bristle brushes that might leave uneven puddles. If you’re doing any kind of crafting, painting, or finishing work, these are a total must-have. ... show more

Work fine and are a good value compared to home stores
Color: Black Size: 2 Inch, 16 Pack
I read lots of bad reviews about these and was actually just going to return them. Then I ran out of the ones I had bought from the home store so I had to break into this package. Honestly, I couldn’t tell a difference between the ones I had paid $1.50 each for and these. I was refinishing my daughter‘s cabinets, and I actually think these helped me do a better job. They were so much less expensive that I was much faster to toss them and go onto the next one instead of trying to get as much use as possible out of each applicator. I was using gel stain and there just comes a point where you have to get a clean applicator. I didn’t notice any difference in quality. These didn’t break any easier and they applied just as cleanly as the others. Holding them side-by-side, they looked identical, and the grip felt exactly the same. I found the foam brush to be the best way to apply both the paint wash and the gel stain. Having such a large package came in very handy and I would buy this set again. ... show more

Plastic cores breaks easily
Color: Black Size: 2 Inch, 16 Pack
They are okay brushes. The handles and foam are good. The only issue lies in the cheap, thin, and brittle plastic core in side of the foam. All the ones I have used have broken. Most of cores broke during washing, because they were not supposed to be thrown away after one use. They would be much better brushes if the cores are made more durable. I would give it a 7/10. ... show more

Great value and quality...
Color: Black Size: 1”, 2”, 120 Pack
**** I am a product tester for Bates Choice and receive many items from the company, including these foam paintbrushes. That having been said, I am still very honest about my reviews and try to help people considering buying these things, and try to write reviews in a way that helps me when I'm looking to buy (or avoid) certain products. **** Bates Choice has sent me many things to test out, and among those things they've sent me many of their foam brushes. I love these! I really like how these work with stain - they hold quite a bit of stain in the foam and it's easy to control the flow of staining depending on how hard or soft you press down. In general I prefer bristled brushes for painting, but these are great for jamming paint into small corners and holes in wood. A friend of mine and I make Bigfoots out of plywood to sell, and these foam brushes are a wonderful tool to reach the nooks and crannies of the wood (I don't know what a "nook" or "crannie" is, but trust me, it reaches them). One negative thing I've found is that the foam head can pull off of the handle a little more easily than it should, but when it does it's usually because I'm violently jabbing and literally lose my head in the process. They stay on well for more normal painting, so it's not really an issue. I do like that when I've mashed the sponge into oblivion that I can collect the dowel handles and build small log cabin birdhouses with them. I use my hot glue gun to fix the heads on that I really don't want coming off during one of my stabbing sprees. Brass tacks: •Great value! •Many different sizes for various jobs. •They don't leave tracks like bristled brushes - I've painted against the grain with these to test and I can't tell when it's dry what direction I painted. •Decent for paint, but particularly good for stains and spreading wood glue. Another five-star item from Bates Choice that I highly recommend. ... show more

Holds up well

Wanted something that would not lose it's stiffness due to lighter materials used this holds up well thanks to the plastic insert that keeps the foam firm

Good foam brushes but beware of tiny black fibers...
Color: Black Size: 3 inch, 12 Pack
These foam brushes hold up well provided they are not heavily loaded and used with a light hand. The one thing that I did notice is that you need to wash them and massage them through your fingers a bit before using because they tend to leave tiny little black fibers which is really noticeable when using light paint or poly on light paint. Maybe on typical wood stain you wouldn't notice it. ... show more
