I'm a big made in the USA guy, and dish brushes and other similar cleaning utensils are really though to find made in the US. I try to go really far out of my way to find products made here... Because our economy needs every little bit of help we can get! Not to mention the product quality is usually better anyway! This often leads me to the internet. So when I stumbled across Libman products I was happy as it was one more type of product (scrubbies/brushes) I could get that was made here. I love it when I find a company that makes a whole product line, because then you can simply shop by brand for things.After having this brush for awhile I think it's pretty awesome! It's every bit as good/high quality as any of the other "name brand" products that are made overseas if not better. The bristles seem to be holding up VERY well. No bending thus far for me!The one reviewer who complained about how stiff the bristles are... Well, yea, they are. That is exactly why I bought it though! This is supposed to be their heavy duty brush. They also offer ones with slightly thinner bristles, which is perhaps what they should have bought if they didn't want a beefy brush. It is called "Big Job" and lists the fibers as "extra durable" after all! So pick your product correctly, and you won't be disappointed!While it is true for some tasks having softer bristles is nice, for others you want them as stiff as you can get 'em. That's what I was looking for with this brush, and it delivers! I was specifically looking for something to clean some of my cast iron stuff as you're not supposed to use soap etc. So you need something that stays super stiff in hot water (some brushes seem to soften up a bit), and this works great.Obviously works well for other heavy duty scrubbing things. It's a dish brush, don't know what else to say! It works well, seems like it will last a long while, made in the USA, so I'm sold!
