****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.

These 26 piece foam sponge paint brushes are fantastic. Great variety of sizes, and they work perfectly for all kinds of painting and craft projects. The sponges are firm enough for good control but soft enough to give a smooth, even finish. I’ve used them for everything from stenciling to touch-up paint jobs, and they hold up really well without falling apart. Great value for. The price, and having so many in one pack means I always have the right size on hand. I highly recommend for any DIYer or crafter.

Same quality as you would get it from popular hardware stores, plus these are cheaper.This is my second order of this item.Comes in variety sizes is also a plus.

I buy these brushes often as they're cheap and disposable. I like that I don't have to clean them. They are soft, but don't confuse them for being a regular paint brush. There's not as much give as a regular, standard paint brush. They absorb the liquid well, are very light to hold and maneuver. A tip I picked up is that when you dip the foam brush in the paint, only dip it half way, then remove from the paint and let it drip off. Don't tap it as it will cause air bubbles. I tend to use these for light coats of top coat on wood and toss them after. For one set, I can get 12 coats of topcoat on a piece of wood.

These are awesome sponge brushes. Each one holds up well and is a perfect width for painting cabinets. I did my whole kitchen and loved using these. I did wash them out from time to time, which was easy, but I used a lot of them once and then threw them away. These sponges are not meant to be used over and over again. They do wear out after a good period of use. They put on paint smoothly and gently, though. They fit into the mouth of a quart size can to pick up paint.

Durable and perfect to get the hard to paint areas

Why did you pick this product vs others?:IMO, these are the absolute best foam brushes on Amazon in regards to price and quality. They’re not flimsy like most of them. And they come “fully assembled” lol. I’ll definitely be buying again.

Though I have ordered these previously. The ones that I just received are not the highest quality.
