Pro-Extra Glide: faster coverage with Purdy precision

The Purdy Pro-Extra 2-1/2 in brush is built to hold more paint, helping you cover larger areas with fewer passes. This makes it well suited for high-production tasks with latex paints and primers, delivering a smooth, even laydown while you work through walls, trim, and imperfections.

Crafted for abrasive surfaces, the Pro-Extra blends three premium filaments to balance softness and stiffness. The result is a tool that sweeps with controlled flow yet maintains shape where you need it most, indoors or outdoors.

Key features that matter on the job

• Premium 3-filament blend for soft paint flow, stiffness retention, and efficient cleanup.
• Self-flagging tip design supports consistent edge control and faster cleanup after long days on site.
• Alderwood handle is lightweight and moisture-wicking for a comfortable grip during extended sessions.

Where and how this brush shines

• Best for latex paints and primers on abrasive surfaces such as drywall, siding, brick, and concrete block.
• Ideal for high-production painting, helping you move quickly without sacrificing coverage quality.
• Handcrafted in the USA with global materials, with each brush signed by the maker as a mark of quality.

Real-world use cases and care tips

Imagine sweeping broad, even swaths across a textured wall, then feathering edges along trim with minimal brush swapping. The Pro-Extra Glide is designed to feel steady in your hand, respond predictably to pressure, and leave a clean edge. After use, rinse thoroughly and lay flat to dry to preserve bristle integrity for future projects.
