I bought an expensive scratch brush which has "Germany" written on the side here. The included brush wore out completely after a few uses on the board. This replacement pack says "Made in Germany" and fits the brush handle I bought. However, the quality of these refills is far superior to the original. The original will quickly fall apart and turn into fiberglass dust. They seem to be much more durable and I notice far less dirt and fiberglass residue with use. I will update the review if necessary.
