Bates- Trim Paint Brush, 3 pcs, 5/8”, 3/4” and 1”, Ergonomic Handles, Trim Brushes for Painting

Excellent for fine detailed work.

The Bates Trim Brush Set is an excellent addition to any painter’s toolkit. The three sizes (5/8”, 3/4”, and 1”) are perfect for small projects, touch-ups, and tight spaces where larger brushes just can’t reach. The bristles are soft yet firm enough to give smooth, clean lines without shedding, and they hold paint really well. I’ve used them for trim, edges, and detailed craft work, and they’ve performed beautifully every time. The handles are comfortable to hold, lightweight, and make precision painting easy, even for longer periods. For the price, this set offers great value and quality. Highly recommend these for anyone who wants reliable, easy-to-control brushes for detailed or finish work!

I normally don't have time to write reviews because I am too busy trying to make a living. However, these brushes warrant a review. I am a Wooster man and have been for over 40 years, and I bought these more as a joke on myself because I don't paint Signs, Pinstripes, or Asian Calligraphy, so why would I ever use these "Disposable" "Toy" round brushes? Additionally nothing beats a 2.5 inch Wooster sash brush...Or so I thought. These are NOT toys nor are they disposable. They are very serious paint brushes that are exceptionally well made and work exceptionally well. I am currently working on painting a house with single Pane(Pain too) windows and these worked better than the aforementioned sash brush. Typing that brought a slight tear to my eye as I love my sash brush. But, these hold more paint, drip less, keep a wet edge better, and are very precise with the application of the paint. I only lost a few bristles to start which was no more than a new Wooster. The bristles could be slightly softer but the trade of is softer bristles equals less paint load, so these are a very good balance. Cutting in with these along trim and ceiling is unbelievably easy and fast. I found that loading the brush then slightly rolling it as you move along your paint path gives you much better coverage and longer distances, with fewer trips to the can than would be the case with the sash brush. How can I make that claim? Well, I used them both alternately on the same wall and trim cut. Absolutely no comparison. The round brush out performed the sash. I feel another tear. Would I buy these again? Yes, in fact after I type this review I will be ordering two more sets, so i don't have to worry about the quality dropping off, as I have seen happen over time with other good Amazon offerings. Pro tip for you all, and you can thank me for it in the next life. To clean your paint brushes after using water based/soluble paints, use Zote (Yes the Mexican Laundry Bar). It contains a very old secret ingredient - Tallow. I will try to post pictures of these brushes after more use, and you will see after a 100 uses and clean ups with Zote they will look brand new. The tallow releases the paint better and keeps the bristles soft. Like I said you can thank me in the next life. I also ordered some other products from Bates Choice and they were exceptional as well. Great products and Great Value, so much so I now very intentionally look to Bates Choice for items I need. And No, they didn't give me a dime for the review though I wish someone would. Maybe, I could paint less. I will try to provide a review on the other Bates Choice products if my work will allow.

These Bates trim brushes are a fantastic value. The bristles are smooth, don’t shed, and give really clean lines on trim and edges. The ergonomic handles make them comfortable to hold, even during longer projects. With three small sizes included, they’re perfect for touch‑ups, corners, and detailed painting. Simple, reliable, and super handy to have in your toolkit. I can also shape this into an ultra‑short one‑liner if you want something even snappier.

To be honest I have not used these brushes yet but I have used round brushes before and these seem to be a good quality. I am a draftsman and was trained to used a pencil and was told to roll the pencil in your hand to keep the lead even to draw a uniform line. I found the round brush could be rolled the same way and it kept the paint consistent. I never could edge well with a regular brush but the round one was a game changer. I hate that over used expression but it fits in this situation.

Great brushes I use them for cutting in against really tough to reach spaces. When painting and cutting I roll them in the hand to get the loaded paint to go a little farther.
