A 10-piece mixed paint brush set with thick bevelled bristles, stainless steel ferrules and ergonomic handles. Mixed synthetic and natural bristles work with all paints and varnishes. Includes three sizes plus a 3-inch brush for larger areas.
When you need a reliable set of brushes for a contract job and you’re not precious about getting them back, this 10 piece contractors paint brush set covers the bases without costing a fortune. You get three 1-inch brushes, three 1.5-inch brushes, three 2-inch brushes and a single 3-inch brush — a sensible spread that covers cutting in, sash work, trim, and general painting without having to root around for the right size mid-job.
The bristles are a mixed synthetic and natural blend, which gives you decent paint loading and a smooth release onto the surface. The bevelled profile helps with cutting in along edges and into corners, which is where cheap brushes tend to let you down. These don’t leave streaks or drag if you use them properly, and the bristle density is good enough to hold a proper amount of paint without it dripping everywhere.
What Sets This Contractors Paint Brush Set Apart
The stainless steel ferrule keeps the bristles locked in place and won’t rust if the brushes get left damp. It’s a small thing, but a ferrule that corrodes and stains your paintwork is the kind of problem you don’t notice until the job’s already finished. The traditional shaped handle sits comfortably in the hand and gives you enough control for detailed work without fatiguing after an hour on the tools.
Bristles and Finish Quality
Mixed bristles are the sensible middle ground here. Pure synthetic can skid on oil-based finishes; pure natural can go limp in water-based products. The blend handles both reasonably well, which matters when you’re switching between a gloss trim and an emulsion ceiling on the same visit. These brushes are compatible with all standard paints, primers, varnishes and stains.
At this price per set, these are the kind of brushes you can leave on site, hand to a labourer without wincing, or use for a messy bitumen or preservative job you wouldn’t want anywhere near your good set. Ten brushes, sensible sizes, job done.
Pro Tip: Keep the 3-inch brush back for large flat areas like fascia boards or fence panels and let the 2-inch brushes do the cutting in work, you will get a cleaner finish than reaching for a big brush and trying to be careful with it.
This set gets used across general decorating, maintenance painting, joinery finishing and site preparation work. The smaller 1-inch and 1.5-inch brushes are well suited to window frames, skirting boards, door architraves and pipe boxing. The 2-inch brushes handle door faces and wall trims without too much effort. The 3-inch brush is the workhorse for sheds, fencing, cladding and any flat surface where you want coverage without breaking out a roller.
Trades that find these useful include painters and decorators, general builders doing a tidy-up coat, groundworkers applying wood preservative, and maintenance contractors who go through brushes regularly and don't want to keep track of expensive ones.

Not suitable for: Not intended for fine finishing work where a premium brush would give noticeably better results. Not suitable for solvent-heavy products such as cellulose lacquers, which can break down the bristle blend quickly.
Dip the bristles no more than halfway into the paint to keep control of the load and avoid drips. Work the paint in with light, even strokes and finish with a single light pass in one direction for a clean line. On cutting in work, use the bevelled edge at a slight angle to the surface and keep a steady hand.
Clean the brushes between coats if you want to get more than one use out of them. Warm water and washing-up liquid handles water-based paints. White spirit deals with oils and varnishes. Worth doing if the job runs to two coats, less worth it if you're halfway through a tin of bitumen fence paint in November.

What sizes are included in the 10 piece contractors paint brush set?
The set includes three 1-inch (28mm) brushes, three 1.5-inch (38mm) brushes, three 2-inch (50mm) brushes and one 3-inch (75mm) brush, giving you a practical spread for most painting tasks.
Can these brushes be used with oil-based paints and varnishes as well as water-based products?
Yes. The mixed synthetic and natural bristle blend is compatible with emulsions, gloss, satinwood, primers, varnishes and wood stains. Clean with white spirit after use with oil-based products and warm soapy water for water-based ones.
Are these brushes reusable or genuinely disposable?
They are designed as a low-cost contractors set, so they sit somewhere in between. Clean them promptly and they will last several uses. If they are used for messy jobs like fence preservatives or bitumen coatings and not cleaned immediately, treat them as single-use. At this price, the maths works either way.
The brushes feature a mixed synthetic and natural bristle construction set into a stainless steel ferrule, which resists corrosion and holds the bristle bundle securely. The bevelled bristle profile is cut to assist with paint loading and edge work. Handles are traditional shaped wood for grip and control during extended use. Compatible with water-based and solvent-based coatings.
