Paint Edger,4-3/4 in. x 3-3/4 in.

This paint edger is a simple tool that makes getting clean, straight edges much easier, especially around trim, ceilings, and corners. The compact 4-3/4 x 3-3/4-inch size is easy to control and helps keep paint where it belongs instead of making a mess. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and saves time compared with carefully cutting in everything with a brush. Definitely recommend!

Pros: Easy to apply paint to small areas and paint looks more similar to paint you've applied with a roller. Unless you're a pro, cutting in with a brush and painting with a roller can create distinct differences. The tool and pad clean up nicely and I was surprised that I didn't have any problems keeping the pad in place. Cons: When edging, the rollers and guides can get gummed up with paint fairly easily. Some of this can be avoided by not overloading the pad, and lifting the guides (there's a latch/button) when filling in (i.e., not edging). I found myself wiping off the guides frequently and still got some paint on the ceiling. Live and learn. Overall experience, I would definitely use this product again. It saves tons of time and coats more similarly to a paint roller thus reducing lap marks and lines.

Like the headline says this is a must if you want to save some time painting. I think where others have problems is in thinking this is a magic device. It's not magic, it is a tool and it requires skill and technique to use. You will not have perfect results the first time you use it, but you can develop a technique quickly. 1. Don't overload the pad. The applying paint to the pad with a brush works, but so does using a roller tray and dragging paint onto the slope and loading there. 2. Do not start dragging directly up against the trim or wall. Start 2-3" inches away and drag backwards and forwards once or twice before heading towards the trim in the intended direction. This allows the paint to spread out evenly across the face of the pad, 3. Pay attention to how hard you are pressing the pad into the wall. Using too much pressure will squeeze paint out past the wheels and into the edge you are forming. This will take some experience, but it can be mastered on the first wall you try. 4. After dragging a 3-4 foot section of wall make one final swipe in the opposite direction over the line where the painted area meets the unpainted wall. This will smooth out any raised paint line created by the edge of the pad and allow the pad painted area to blend in with the area you will be rolling later.

Junk! Terrible quality all around. These pad doesn't stay flat on the wall and wanders all over. IF you can get it to the edge of the wall and ceiling it's VERY difficult to move while on a painting pole.

The idea of this cutter is great but it might not work for you. I have a texture wall and you'll have to push down on it pretty hard to get a line; not perfect. There is a learning curve to use this so it's not a super easy tool to use. It feels flimsy that the piece can break. I didn't get any extra pads. It's also a different version than the one shown in the instruction video. It works better on the baseboard but not on ceilings as your coverage in one pass is limited to your arm length so frequent re-application is needed. It might work for you but it didn't for me.

This inexpensive tool has been amazing. I can edge a room (crown molding, doorways, windows, and baseboard molding inside 30 minutes). I load the product with my paint brush...I do not dip it as instructed. I saw this trick on YouTube and am I glad I did my research. Be mindful not to put too much paint on the pad each time you load it or you could have a "bleeding" problem where the paint will possibly run a little and ruin your crisp trim line. Pressure is a key as well. Watch a few YouTube videos from professional painters who use this tool; you'll get the hang of it in no time. The inside corners are the ONLY places you need a paint brush. I actually go around my room first with the paint brush and get the inside corners and then edge with this tool, then roll and done. Clean up is a breeze too. Even if you used oil based paint, the pads are not that expensive if you used once and tossed. I never used it on a pole, but used it to trim the walls and even a fair amount of ceilings in my 4,000 sf home...so you can do the math on how many 100's of feet I have trimmed...lots of work, but this product does a really nice job. You won't be disappointed; I highly recommend this product.

Used this to paint facial boards with telescope and this device. Genuis, works like a charm.

Very laborious to load paint either by dipping or using a paint brush. Didn't get close enough to edge to cover existing paint color. Lots of dripping. Easier to cut in paint by hand.

I’m an amateur painter, and I almost spent hundreds of dollars to just hire the professional to paint, because the walls and ceiling are just too high and impossible for me to reach, after watching tons of tutorial videos online, I finally gave it a try, and I’m very happy it worked so well. It’s easy to use, and the line looks pretty clean as well. Next step: ceiling!( I know I should start with it, but I just didn’t have enough confidence to do it) Highly recommended! It’s an amazing tool!

At first I didn't think this would be worth a lot and so didn't expect much from it. First test I did was really bad, paint where there shouldn't be. I checked the pad and it was actually not sitting well as it was badly cut. I had to cut it to the correct shape myself to make it fit. After that everything was much better. Straight lines, and paint only where you want it. Something you have to keep in mind is not to press to hard on the tool as the plastic will wear of on the ceiling. It would be worth 5 stars if it wasn't for the badly cut pad and the plastic that goes of on the ceiling.

It worked very well for me. I repainted a few rooms and needed something to draw accurate edges around doors, ceiling and skirting. I tried many type of pad edgers (e.g. Homebase, Harris), but the little wheels always managed to leave streaks. I have no experience in painting whatsoever, but this one made the trick (picture attached). I followed the advices from youtube (just put "How to use Shur-Line edger" and you can find many clips) and loaded the pad with a brush, I also made a point of always wipe clean the little black guards at every reload and the results was very good and faster (but not massively so) than the tape. With one load I did an average of 1-1.5m edge. I had occasional streaks when I was applying to much pressure on the pad or in dusty corners (I did not clean the skirting initially, learnt fast to do it). Delivery from the USA came within expected days. Recommended.
