I bought two of these because of the price and they had pretty good reviews. I keep one on my chalk bag and the other I made a stick-brush with. Today was the first day I used the stick-brush and the thin part of the plastic (just below the boar hair bristles and above the handle) started to bend and wear with only average pressure. I would guess I have a couple more times of using the stick-brush like I did today, until it breaks in half. On the other hand, the one I use for holds that I can reach on my own is still solid and in tact. And on both the boar hair works great and is not falling out like one would expect a cheaply made brush to. Maybe get a heavier duty brush if you're planning to use it for making a stick brush or scrubbing holds hard at awkward angles..
