Shur Line 01000 Pro Edger Review

I thought this product worked excellent if used properly. It saved a bunch of time in taping and the results were superior to taping which can often result in bleed-through. This device left clean sharp lines and I would not hesitate to recommend this product. However, like any tool it needs to be used properly for the best results, so here are some tips:
Make sure to hold the pad in the paint for a count of 5 seconds, so that it absorbs enough paint. Then using the side of the paint tray scrape off the paint from the front of the pad to stop it from bleeding past the black edgers.
Make sure that the black edgers and the front of the tool are clean each time you use it. It was handy to keep a wet rag nearby to quickly wipe them off after every time you refill the pad with paint.
Don't be afraid to go back and forth on the line of paint you laid down. It helps even it out and you get better coverage.
Have a roller handy to smooth out the line you laid down. This is standard practice even when edging with a brush so it is not out of the ordinary. It will also take care of the excess bead of paint that may be left at the back of the edger.
Don't press too hard! It would be better to go back and forth if you are not getting sufficient coverage than pressing too hard and squeezing the paint off of the pad and out the sides. I think this may be one of the main reasons that people are having difficulty with this tool.
Hope this helps!

I bought one to do an accent wall in my house. I used it and loved it. The locking doesn't lock very strongly so as you manhandle the roller you can unlock it fairly easily, but as long as you pay attention it is the most amazing and convenient tool I've used to paint yet.

Shur-Line 500 Premium Paint Edger Review

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.

Accubrush XT Deluxe Kit with FREE MX Edger Review

Accubrush XT Deluxe Kit with FREE MX Edger
Average Reviews:

I had a decent amount of success with the Accubrush. It doesn't take long to learn how to use it, but it IS important you spend time learning how it works and practicing with it a few times.
You've likely seen the videos the company has demonstrating the product:
1) It does around windows amazingly well leaving a perfect line - and fast!
2) It does around doors and trimming in the ceiling pretty well. The only draw back to doors and ceilings is that the entire brush must pass over an area to draw it's edge, which simply wont work in ceiling corners or where the door trim meets the floor. This leaves a gap of about 10 inches in each of those spots where you will have to trim in by hand; though I rather only trim in those spots and not the whole area.
Note: The brush has an adjustable setting that dictates how far out the line is to be made, and you will need to extend it to trim ceilings. So again, learn the product before using!
Pros:
1) Very straight line in a very short amount of time.
2) The trimmed area has the textured roller effect instead of the directional line effect achieved with a regular brush.
3) Ease to clean.
Cons:
1) Still leaves manual trimming in ceiling corners and at the bottom of doors.
2) Will not work against baseboard - wood is too thin.
3) The plastic latch that secures the handle to the device for handhold use, versus on a pole, is too flexible and often pops open when rolling by hand. - Very annoying, I'd like to see the company fix this to make it 100% solid.
4)There is a "floating metal square" on the plastic guard that helps control the paint. When trimming ceilings the metal square rubs against the ceiling and leaves a gray/black mark on the ceiling. I solved the problem by cutting a square of painters tape the same size as the metal and carefully covering it up. The metal must still move/float, so it's critical to have the tape cover only the metal. I would like to see the company coat the metal in plastic or something that wont rub off.
In conclusion:
I, like you, have wasted more money on other edgers and trimmers in my life time. This one performs the best of them all and gives you a hand drawn line with less effort. Buy it, but just realize it's JUST an edging tool to give you a leg up... it wont remove all of the effort out of painting a room!
