Picked up a pack of these over the weekend from my local Homebase, and popped down this evening to pick up another 2 packs.
I bought them as was doing some outdoor painting & staining along with a small roofing job and only wanted throw away brushes.
Well except for the roofing job where the brushes will be of no further use due to the gunk on them I feel that I will not be throwing them away after use as to be fair after a few hours yesterday the bristles are still in really good condition and with no noticeable hair loss, having now washed them of the water based paint they are as good as new.
Have used throw aways in the past that have not managed to see out the job or make the job hard work with the amount of hair loss, these were a pleasure to use and kept their shape well throughout, probably the best pack of sub £1 brushes I have used.

I find the range or wilko brushes are the best quality for the value

I actually bought these in Worcester homebase, but they gave me the 5 pack instead of the 3 pack for same price (click and collect)

Big fan of cheap throw away brushes but not happy when they drop bristles in my paintwork? how about these?

Its my pet hate as well, these homebase ones are good, I was staining furniture in the garden and could not see a single hair but it was a darkish stain, can't speak for the wilko brushes but have bought sub £1 brushes previously and they have been awful, worst ones I bought from poundworld, the bristles fell out and the head became loose within an hour of use.
