Abstract: A brush handle that provides an ergonomic grip to improve the manipulation and reduce the fatigue of the use of the brush. The brush handle provides a series of fitted control surfaces that allow a user to grip the brush handle in a comfortable and precise manner. These control surfaces are integrally formed on the brush handle on opposing surfaces for use by both right-handed and left-handed users. In one preferred embodiment, the brush handle is used for paint brushes. The brush handle also includes a protective mechanism to prevent paint from dripping or flowing onto the brush handle during use. The brush also provides a dip line to indicate the appropriate level of dipping the brush into a paint source.
