    I love the 2112 sables by Handover
    I also love the Meyer Mack Snapper Quills they hold a lot of paint
    Mack 169 synthetic metal feral brushes are cheap and do a great job. Shorter hairs then 2112s
    Mack 179L great quills shorter hairs then the snappers. Natural hairs
    All my truck flats are old stock but everyone needs a large natural hair flat 1/2” 3/4” for larger work
    Handover 333 size 3 I use on vehicles a lot, good drag and control. Synthetic
    Mack Rhino Fitches are excellent wall brushes 4080 straight
    4085 angled
    Soft hair fitches by Mack also find lots of work in my kit. Straight and angled. I only use them on brick walls rough wood etc.
    Anyway hope this helps a little. I love these videos.
    Every time I think I have my brush situation on lock I find I need a new one. Just ask my fiancé she thinks I may need therapy. Don’t get me started on sign boxes and books.
    Cheers !

      Brilliant comment! Sounds like you got a lot of brushes. I've never owned any flats for soft surfaces. Done a lot of brick work with angled synthetic and fitches.
