Weiler 44003 Horsehair Counter Duster with Wood Handle, Horsehair Fill, 2-1/2" Head Width, 8" Overall Length, Natural

We use this for camping at the beach. Natural horsehair is soft and good for brushing sand off of your body. This works great.

Every Woodworker will appreciate the quality and usefulness of this brush. It sweeps a path through shavings and the finest of dust, keeping a clear workplace. Yes, it sheds a few hairs at first, but it quickly settles down and sheds no more. Rare to find such a well made brush!

Great

some of the bristles were already bent on receipt and they fall out often.

I operate a machine tool that produces lots of aluminum chips and dust. They can be lightweight flakes and they stick to the surface of things so a straw whisk broom won't get them. This brush works great for sweeping them off my rough plywood work benches. Works great on fine dust too. Just for the record I don't plan on using the brush on any of the many oily surfaces I have in my shop though, I think the bristles wouldn't soak that right up and be ruined. I haven't had the brush long but I can tell the bristles are high quality and the brush has a very hefty feel in ones hand, very much like old school quality. I'll probably be getting another one for inside the house.

Nothing cleans like horse hair. I have a 50 year old horse hair brush that I got from my dad and it works great. I needed a second similar brush for another location and this Weiler brush has worked out well.It's a good size brush that I use for dusting between coats of clear polyurethane on trim work and furniture. After I apply the first coat of poly, I dry sand with 600 paper and then use this horse hair brush to remove most of the dust and then use a tack rag for final dust removal.This Weiler brush cleans up well with an air compressor or soap and water or both. You can spend a LOT more money for a similar brush but I doubt you'll get better service or dust removal at any price. Hope that helps!

the handle needed sanding--I immediately got a splinter from it taking it out of the box. The hair also needed a bit of TLC. I took a comb to it to get out the loose fibers and then trimmed the edges with scissors so that they were all aligned properly. About ~5 minutes of work later, and it was wonderful! Sweeps better than any broom I've owned to date. Absolutely worth every penny.

So I have 3 cats. One sheds like crazy no matter the season, and has pure white fur. If she sleeps on the corner of the bed, the blanket will have enough fur on it to make her a cat toy. I brush her daily, it's never-ending (shocked she isn't bald yet, tbh).This brush makes it so much easier to clean off where she likes to lounge. A few swipes and the fur is rolled up into an easily-picked-up shape. The couch, the bed, the blanket, even a towel, it works on all of it. It's soft enough to not damage the fabric but stuff enough to grab all the fur without having to spend 10 min sweeping it up. I've actually got it bookmarked to buy again if this one ever dies or gets lost!
