The Cub’s short, ergonomic hardwood handle was designed with a professional’s hand in mind. Crafted of solid hardwood, the handle features an ergonomic thumb grip for superior control in tight spots.

Short-handle brushes are used to paint awkward and hard-to-reach spots, such as when painting kitchen and bathroom cabinets. A lot of companies make short-handled paintbrushes, acknowledges Bruce Schneider, end-user marketing manager for Purdy, but some of them are intended for do-it-yourself homeowners. “Ours is totally a professional brush,” he says. “It won’t fatigue the hand if used for a long period of time.”

The Purdy Cub brush is designed for use with all paints and stains. Its short lightweight handle delivers maximum control, ensuring you are closer to the substrate for intricate jobs. Includes a unique blend of Dupont solid, round and tapered filaments for a high quality finish.

Without the short handle as an option, painters would have to saw off the end of a longer handle to make a brush that fits. A sawed-off paintbrush has lost its built-in balance, making it harder to use over the course of a workday.

While the XL Cub’s handle is new, its bristle head offers the same quality components and professional painting features found on other Purdy XL brushes. In fact, the Cub’s hand-built bristle head is the same as that found on the best-selling XL Glide models.

The head is handcrafted using two kinds of solid round tapered (SRT) filaments from DuPont: satin-edge Tynex nylon and Orel polyester. Purdy’s proprietary tipping and flagging process creates thousands of microscopic tips from which paint is applied to a surface for a finish that’s practically perfect. The Cub also features the famous stiffness retention of the XL line.

Introduced a few months ago, the XL Cub is just now making its way into stores. It’s available in 2-inch and 21⁄2- inch widths. At the moment, the XL is the only Cub, but Purdy plans to attach a Cub handle to more of the brushes it makes. “This is just a jumping-off point,” Schneider says.
