NOT new and improved

I am a general contractor formerly a painting company. I have hundreds of Purdy brushes. Now I have about 25. The pens are excellent. In any case, the bristles are great on most models. The downside to these brushes, however, is the same one they've suffered from for decades: small sticks are used to attach the handle to the brush's metal tip. These pins loosen after moderate use, causing the brush head to wobble. When you try to put the pins back in place, the wooden handle often breaks. Result? The brush, which still has a lot of life in its bristles, is no longer usable and is demoted to a dust brush. As consumers, we've heard "new and improved" so many times that we often think it's just a marketing gimmick. But there is something to be said for a company that strives to improve its products. Pardy is not. There hasn't been anything "new and improved" in the design of these brushes (other than new bristle styles) for decades. It's time for Purdy to up his game. Purdy: Have you ever heard of screws?
