If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. It’s no wonder that Sherwin Williams bought the Purdy brand (for 300 million), and then wisely left it alone to continue making quality tools. They are also great for getting up high where the wall meets the ceiling or anywhere else you want to paint a straight line without slopping over onto a nearby surface. You can comfortably grip the handle even when working up close, thanks to its ergonomic design—a nice touch during longer painting sessions. Indoors, I wanted to see if it would adhere to the popcorn ceiling well enough to paint a clean edge and whether it would damage the finish.

Paint-pad edgers offer the speed of a paint roller and the accuracy of a brush without the added time and expense of using painter’s tape. The aluminum shield allowed overspray to dry quickly and made it easy to simply peel off for cleaning.

I also found the thin aluminum material to be soft and that the corners bend easily, so I recommend handling and storing this tool with care. When closed, the edging tool squeezes the bristles flat to create a firm, clean edge, thus making it far easier to create that precise line.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. But when I saw its large surface with clean, square edges, I thought it might be good for ceiling work. Both models of the Accubrush make a wide cutting line using a small roller plus a very small paintbrush to make the actual line.But the real secret is in the combination of the plastic side guard and tiny underlying brush that lets the roller glide right along the edges of corners, ceilings, baseboards, and trim without the need for protective painter’s tape. Test comparisons included freehand brushed, taped and brushed, and shielded and sprayed segments, along with edge-rolled and edge-padded sections. You may also want to consider an edger with a larger surface area, like the Luigi’s World’s Best Paint Pad Set, which are good for painting long swaths of ceilings or along baseboards. With an edger, you may not need to tape along trim molding or ceilings, nor do you have to cut in with a paint brush. The synthetic roller has a 3/8-inch nap that’s suitable for most smooth or lightly textured surfaces, and can be used multiple times if it is cleaned immediately after use.

I found the Accubrush MX edge roller easy to use and especially effective for cutting in walls around window and door trim, baseboards, and crown molding. Used pro clean they were not only prompt, very professional and did a brilliant job cleaning our gutters which were pretty grim! The set includes a paint tray plus three edgers, all with comfortable plastic handles and sponge pads that hold a lot of paint. Using a paint edger saves time and money because it eliminates the need to tape off ceilings and baseboards. I use it when painting walls up against the ceiling and when painting accent walls,” says Jan Walter, a professional painter and owner of the blog Gocolorize.

After being messed around by a few companies I went to ProClean, who provided a reasonable quote and details of the work to be carried out. An edger can either be a special paint brush, pad, or roller designed with an attached guard, or a separate guard used with a conventional paint brush, pad, or roller.
