Abstract: A paintbrush includes a bristle assembly which has a bristle housing to which a plurality of bristles are connected. The bristle housing has a first connector which is spaced apart from a second connector. A handle includes a holder which has cavity which is shaped and dimensioned to removably receive the bristle housing. The handle also includes spaced apart first and second resilient arms, the first resilient arm has a first arm connector and the second resilient arm has a second arm connector. The bristle housing is positionable in the cavity of the holder so that the first connector engages the first arm connector and the second connector engages the second arm connector thereby locking the bristle housing within the cavity.
