Nail Brush

A small but real step up — wider strokes and about 50% more dust per trip.

Overview

The Nail Brush is the first purchase every run makes. It is still described in-game as a tool for fine work, and it still fills in seconds, but each trip now pays about 75 cents instead of 50 and the wider head clears noticeably more ground per stroke.

Treat it as a bridge. Six to eight full loads later you can afford the Hand Brush, which doubles your capacity again. Skip the Nail Brush's own container upgrade; the money is better spent moving up a tier.

Tips

Buy it with your very first $5, before any upgrade.
Keep running long, straight strokes through fresh dust; the brush is still too small for tidy hex clearing.

Note

Prices are base prices. The Supplier Network economy upgrade takes 10% off tool and container upgrades.
