This is a great tool that no painter should be without. I painted the interior of my new home with this product and I wouldn't be without one ever again.
Helpful Tips:
If you are getting paint on the ceiling just trim off the top bristles with a pair of sharp scissors, just the bristles not the plastic.
If you paint you ceiling first then overlap onto the wall about Ľ inch. With the modified pad you will leave a 1/16 line at the top of the wall and this looks great.
Use a paint brush to apply paint to the pad, never dip the pad into the paint. Place the paint in the center of the pad with the brush and then swirl the pad on the wall to get the pad completely covered. This will keep paint off the wheels and sides.
If painting baseboards use a drywall knife on top of the baseboard to give the wheels a place to ride. Use an almost dry pad so the paint won't run. It will take two coats. Wipe your drywall knife off after every move.
After completing a run go back and feather the outer edge with the pad so you will not see the trim line after you roll the rest of the wall.

When I looked at this cheap little plastic gizmo, I didn't have high hopes, but I thought it was worth the risk at such a reasonable price.
When I put it to use, all doubts faded. It made edging fast and, dare I say, Fun. This cut the time of the painting project in half. No taping required(except on our baseboards, which are too narrow for the wheels to rest on.) Ceiling edging and window edging were a snap. A quick follow-up with the roller and you're done.
Don't dip it too far in or you'll get paint on the tracking wheels. Scrape or brush off some of the excess after dipping. No instructions came with the product, nor did a paint pan. I used a small plastic dish.
Great invention.

It did a great job painting the edges where the wall met the ceiling. Don't dip it in the paint: Use a brush to apply paint only to the pad. If you use a light coat of paint, it works very well.

Works very well
Simple device that works very well and help to save lots of time. Important to note, not to have too much paint on the pad and keep the rollers free from paint.

Not perfect, but a lifesaver for textured wall edging...!
I recently painted my kitchen and dining room, both of which have textured walls. Where the textured walls meet the ceiling, the counters, and the cabinets, it can be very hard to... Read more

only useful if you don't care about quality
It does save time compared to taping. But the quality is horrible. You have to have an iron-steady arm to hold the thing tight so it doesn't mess up the ceiling or door trims. Read more
