I needed to buy some new paint brushes, and headed off to Home Depot. More specifically, I wanted to buy Wooster Pro brushes, a 1″ angled brush, and a 2″ flat.
Nearby, I found a promo 3-piece set that was around the same price. Good deal. While I hadn’t planned on buying a 1-1/2″ angled brush, I’m sure it’ll come in handy in time.
I have not used Wooster Pro nylon/polyester brushes before, but they seem pretty low-risk to try out.
This seems like a great deal.
While tempted to cheap out and get some of the lower-priced brushes on the shelf, I have heard many times about how good brushes can last quite a while if properly cared for. This proved to be true with the Wooster Shortcut brush I had used for a few woodworking finishing projects.

While I Have You…
So, some of my upcoming projects will require more than a paint brush, but less than a full size roller.
I picked up a small roller frame, and 4-1/2″ x 3/8″ Wooster Pro all-paints roller covers.
$6.06 for 2? That seemed a little high, but not unexpectedly so.

And then I found what looks to be a 12-pack of the same exact rollers, priced at $14.88.
So, $15 for 12, or $6 for 2?
I went with the 12-pack.
Is this a great deal, or is there something different about the roller covers that I’m not seeing? The rollers in both packages are 4-1/2″ with 3/8 nap, 3/4″ cores, and are made with shed-resistant woven material.
