The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Marshalltown YP985M masonry brush carries the highest rating in this batch at 4.8 stars across 248 reviews, priced at $19.69. Marshalltown's reputation in masonry tools, combined with this rating, makes the YP985M stand out even against higher-review-count competitors.
The listing gives a weight of 0.5 pounds and ships as 1 piece, though the stated 1 x 1 x 1 inch dimension appears to be a placeholder rather than the brush's actual working size. With 200 units bought last month, demand is solid without being the highest in the category.
For buyers prioritizing rating above all else, the YP985M edges out every other masonry brush in this set.
