Shur-Line 2006561 Paint Edger Pro with Two Pack of 2001044 Painter’s Pad Refills

I got myself into a bit of a pickle using masking tape to get some straight lines between contrasting colours. I ended up pulling off most of the paint when I took the masking tape off. So had to effectively repaint the room, but figure out another way of getting a straight line. I have to say I was a little apprehensive, given that I’ve tried these tools before, but this thing was just magic. A few words of warning. - It isn’t perfect, you’ll probably need to touch up bits, but it’s quick and pretty accurate - The paint pad has a right way and a wrong way to attach to the device, if you it wrong, it’ll slide off the device - Don’t overload the pad - Just be careful about the wheels and avoid getting paint on them - I did load the paint by floating on some paint, but have seen people apply it using a brush. Overall well pleased with the outcome.

You would think this is the answer to your prayers, no more frog tape, perfect lines everywhere, but the illusion is soon disipated. The first line was great, followed the instructions not too much paint, but as soon as you press the pad onto the wall and it fills the bristles your doomed from the start, 2nd attempt, smudges everywhere, cleaned the pad and tried again with the same result. Getting into corners, it was useless. Don't waste your money on the plastic moulded piece of junk.

This tool deserve a long review : It is fit for purpose as long as you are not pushing it too hard . I will do a better job than a non-professional painter by a mile but there is a learning curve . -Load the pad with a brush , do not dip in a paint tray as per advised on the instructions. -Do not hold the black handle , use both hand and punch the pad up toward the ceiling with your thumbs , do not push the pad towards the wall as the pad bristles will collapse and the paint will go all over the ceiling -roll very slow . The bristles on the pad are very close to each other , there is a tendency of pad turning into a suction cup if you go too fast. Yiu will feel it as rolling become harder -Two coats are needed -Watch the wheels like a hawk as they have a tendency to get dirty . -Expect to clean the whole tool couple of time Per room as paint will inevitably overflow . If your corner are really messed up , the tool will struggle

This is not as advertised. When using it by hand it is really good as you can control pressure to wall and as long as loading pad with paint brush accurately. Clipping wheels back and dipping was too messy which meant it was quite tedious to deassemble and clean frequently to make sure nothing will squish out onto the wheels when removing excess paint. This was bought to do cutting in on wall at ceiling edge with extender pole as it is too high to reach and cannot get everywhere with ladder and paintbrush due to stairs. Useless on a pole as this pro is advertised for. It's too loose and it's nearly impossible to control without preasure which squishes the paint out onto the wheels which ruins neat line it is capable of doing when hand held. Good to speed up cutting in by hand, but not worth the price, and don't think about being able to use it with extender pole.

Never normally write reviews but - given the marmite nature of this product- I thought I’d make an exception. In short. It works as advertised and delivers a far better edge than most DIY painters could ever hope to achieve. I bit of practice is advisable but I found it very easy to use and was extra careful not to put paint on the wheels. Following some advice from You Tube I also decided to apply paint to the pad with a brush, rather than dipping it. This seems a more sensible way of doing it and one I would recommend. So - ignore the naysayers and get one ordered. Seems sturdy enough to last a long time an an absolute must for those tricky edges.

Not a great product. If your home has perfect wall to ceiling corners this would work better. Any slight bump won't have a smooth finish. Not ideal as a hand tool as the black part at the back swivels. Overall overpriced for what it is and it's function.

What a waste of money !! My partner is a painter and decorator , the instructions are quite vague , it is NOT a precise tool , if you are working into corners that are slightly uneven the cutting lines are extremely inaccurate, if you need to get the correct amount of paint onto the tool to create the create the correct amount of distribution then the rollers tend to pick up paint and realistically create a mess around the cutting in lines - safe to say within an hour it was in the bin

Many people complain that the wheels get full of paint and it tehn gets messy. Yes, it can get paint on the wheel - When you are being lazy, and can't be honest with yourself! Load the pad properly, carefully and you'll be absolutely fine. I have just done the edging in two rooms and the hallway, it's great. I made one blob mistake but, as I said above, that was because I loaded it wrong with paint. Does a fab job and I did that very long, high bit on the landing, above the stairs, on an extension pole. Absolute godsend!

As an American, I feel like a fool for purchasing this. The retail price for this in the states is $5.95, I paid €20 this. That's a 400% markup... For plastic with a foam square on it... Oh well, let's see if it actually gives me a clean line... Painted two rooms with it and have learned that if you have perfect walls with hard clean edges and corners, this will working great. Paint paint onto the product (don’t dip the product in paint) and roll away. Problem is, many corners and edges to homes are not straight, and this tools does help change that. My suggestion is to spend your time using painters tape, tape the edges, press firm on the tape and then brush paint away from the tape, not towards it to avoid slippage under the tape. After 20-30 minutes, slowly pull the tape off- you’ll have the hard line you’re looking for.

C’est vraiment trop bien une finition parfaite acheter le :O juste un peux d’entraînement et hop

Voor gladde wanden is dit geen optie . De pads zijn van een hard soort vacht. Niet net zoals een vachtroller meer zoals klittenband. En maken lelijke strepen op de muur .

This product when used according to the instructions is amazing. Cuts a straight line between ceiling and wall accurately. My only suggestion is I wish the handle as able to lock if you are not using a handle extension. Highly recommended. No more taping for me.
