- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2013Size: 2 InchVerified PurchaseI'm not a professional painter, just a DIY guy. I've had numerous paint projects around the house but I finally decided to purchase a professional paint brush because I was told by a very seasoned painter that a good brush makes all the difference. I researched the big three brand names trying to decide which to purchase; Wooster, Purdy, and Corona. I read numerous reviews for various brushes in all 3 brands, read some blogs regarding painter's favorite brushes, and visited all 3 websites to find out more info. Everyone seemed to have their own opinion, so I decided on this brush because between the 3 brands, Wooster Ultra Pro Firm was the best deal. Not to mention I'm an Ohioan and am pleased to support a solid, reputable, Ohio business like Wooster Brush company. The feel and usage of this brush is very good from a novice's point of view. I tried my hand at "cutting in" a straight line between the wall and the ceiling (without using painter's tape) and it was effortless. It also cleaned up extremely easily and was like brand new the 2nd time I used it. We'll see how it wears over an extended period of time. Overall I would highly recommend this brush - great deal through Amazon, delivered very quickly and in excellent condition.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2014Size: 2.5 InchVerified PurchaseThis is an excellent all-around brush for most paint jobs. Works great at cutting in and equally well for trim work. I've repainted all my house's interior trim with this brush, and the lines it makes are very small and unnoticeable. This brush glides very well. The bristles are excellent. This is a professional brush that should last quite a long time with regular cleaning and care.
Fairly easy to clean and it seems to retain it's shape very well through many many cleanings.
Wooster makes good stuff, so I can't say I'm surprised.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2025Size: 2.5 InchVerified PurchaseI'm picky with my brushes and love the feel of this one.

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024Size: 2.5 InchVerified PurchaseExelente y buena calidad del producto entrega a tiempo
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2017Size: 2 InchVerified PurchaseI will never paint with anything but Wooster. Cuts like a lazer, holds a good amount of paint, Bristled do not wilt, break down or loose precision from getting over saturated. However paint brushes are very personal, this might not be the best brush for you, but I have tried all the mid range and high end brushes, and for me Wooster is the best.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2020Size: 2 InchVerified PurchaseThese brushes are the best! The bristles handle well, and I always know where the paint is going to go when I'm edging. They're so good, I don't have to mask with tape! Even an old, almost worn out Wooster is better than any other brand!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020Size: 2.5 InchVerified PurchaseThis Wooster brush gas helped me out so many times I lost count. Perfect for outlining indoors & outdoors. The hairs on the brush are super smooth for am easy stroke. Wooster is quality, will buy again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing - You will not regret spending the money
Size: 2.5 InchVerified PurchaseI got 4 of these when they went on sale for like $8 each. I would recommend getting the 2.5 inch ones because for some reason they are much cheaper then the 2 inch or 3 inch ones and on amazon they are atleast $15 cheaper then hardware stores (atleast as of writing this June 2024).
I HIGHLY recomend getting a quality brush like this one, it might cost more then a dollar store brush, but it is so much better.
Some back story: I got a deal on a house, unfortunately it was smoked in. I put 3 layers of oil based primer (cigarette smoke bled through 2 coats), and 2 coats of latex based paint in the entire house (1200 sqft). I used 1 brush for the oil based, threw it out after, and 2 brushes for the latex based (one for trim paint one for wall paint). Both brushes from the latex paint cleaned off well and look almost new still. Never had a single piece of bristle come of any of the paint brushes the entire time which made my expirence painting a house for the first time much better then I had expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful High Quality Brush, Recommended
Size: 3 InchVerified PurchaseHigh quality, dense even cluster of bristles, all are even length, very impressed with the quality. I also purchased a Purdy Clear Cut and while that costs more, the Wooster is far superior in build. I believe they have the same bristles and are essentially the same brush, but the Wooster wins on build quality, the Purdy had varying lengths of bristles and didn't seem as dense/packed.
