A Paintbrush That Grips Your Hand
 ✖  |
“I was painting on some property I had and redoing my house. I wound up getting carpal tunnel. A traditional grip causes your hands to cramp and ache, plus it tenses all the muscles in your arm,” says Greg Freuler, who came up with a new way of painting called the FreeForm Brush.
“I wanted to design a brush with a grip that would hold me instead of the other way around,” he says. “It took a lot of hours to come up with the final design.”
To the untrained eye, it looks like a paintbrush with a pistol grip, but Freuler says it’s “anything but that.” While there are pistol-grip brushes on the market, he says they put even more stress on the painter.
“Our design rests on top of your hand,” he says. “The grip rests between your thumb and index finger, but you don’t grip it like a pistol. The other four fingers stretch out straight toward the end of the paintbrush.
“As you paint, it locks into your hand because it matches the curve of your fingers,” Freuler says. “With a conventional brush, you have to grip it tighter as you push it against the wall. As you push against the wall with the FreeForm Brush, it pushes further into your hand with no extra grip required.”
While there are three different sizes of the FreeForm Brush, each grip is one size fits all. It comes in 1 1/2 in. and 2-in. sizes for detail work in smaller areas. The 2 1/2 and 3-in. sizes are for the broader strokes in larger areas.
“The exterior brushes are meant to hold either water or oil-based paints. The interior and all-purpose are meant for water-based only.”
Prices for the FreeForm Brush range from $8.99 to $13.99, depending on the model.
There are numerous ways to get a FreeForm Brush, including the company website, Amazon, and approximately 2,100 Walmart stores.
