Review of American Mallard Ergonomic Paint Brush

them they're supposed to be a says right on here um in bold green it's an ergonomic handle so I guess it's supposed to be a lot more comfortable holding something like this over a long period of Time Versus holding um your conventional paintbrush like this I think the weight of this being super heavy so the weight is in the um the actual handle and not in the ferrule and the brush the weight is in the ferrule and the brush here so I feel like this is more balanced it's not in um it's wanting to you know tilt its way this way because I feel like it's more balanced I think this when you're using this brush all the weight is in the handle itself and not you know in this area of the brush so this is all solid rubber I was wondering um it was kind of interesting because I think you can actually replace this part of it and you still would have the handle so you can um buy these a little bit cheaper if you just want to um toss out your filaments and stuff but the ferrule itself I'll start with the filaments it doesn't say what type filaments they are it just says it's all paints and stains um they're they're definitely not Dupont filaments I think they're just um some really cheap inexpensive filaments I noticed um on the brushes the filaments are easy to bend they're um not flagged they look like they're just flat they're not chemically tipped they feel pretty inexpensive I mean this one had filaments already coming out of it alright so I'm going to show you I've got a brush right here this is a handmade brush in New York the premier Brook here here we've got what I would call on one of the best ferals on any paint brushes I have ever seen right here this is a stainless steel ferrule you can see it looks brushed it the mill thickness of it is pretty dang thick it's crimped very nicely it's nailed perfectly now I'm going to compare that with the ferrule right here and this is going to be stainless steel it's not going to rust or coron this is going to be a plated metal so I'm going to pull the comments off it's super super thin the crimping on it looks really bad on it and because it's plated it is going to rust probably pretty fast it's going to rust and corrode that rust and corrosion is eventually going to you know work its way into your paint if you end up you know taking this thing on and off to do any cleaning and stuff this feral because it is you know really thin inexpensive low quality metal this is probably going to splay and save itself outward and…
