The three edgers are designed with a tapered point, which makes them the perfect tool for painting tight and hard-to-reach spaces like corners. One of the biggest annoyances when using a paint edger is dipping the pad into the paint tray and getting paint onto the edger’s wheels, which then track paint onto the wall and spoil your perfect edge.

I’ve been at this well over 30 years: here is the good and bad of the two top paint edgers, (with a look at how they stack up against a quality paintbrush). In the Summer of 2011, my wife and I opened a restaurant in Bayer’s Lake (Dhaba Express) and when it came to painting the entire restaurant, our first and only choice was Brad.With a good brush, you really don’t use painter’s masking tape except rarely when brushing in very tight corners such as between two very closely spaced door frames.

If painting narrow areas, such as between closely spaced windows or behind a door that is near a corner, a smaller edger that will fit into these tight spaces will be necessary. Some are simply dipped into paint, while others have an onboard paint reservoir, often inside the handle.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.

A paint edger is a tool that applies paint with a straight, clean line at the outer edges, inner corners, or along trim work.

The plastic edger slides over the paint brush bristles, exposing just the length of bristle you desire for painting fine lines, working around trim, or painting in corners. And it’s only for use with a 2-inch angled brush; any other size or shape won’t work well with this tool. This innovative tool boasts a straightforward yet efficient design that allows you to easily flip the wheels up and out of the way, ensuring that paint stays off your walls.

At 6 inches in length and a mere 3 inches in width, it’s easy to maneuver the device in tight spots, corners, and around the trim that’s close to a wall’s edge. Working with a standard paint tray (not included), the Accubrush MX painting tool takes the time and hassle out of paint edging. Regardless of the type of edger chosen, it is important to pick an applicator whose material is appropriate for the type of paint.BIG TIP: Don’t get the Shur-line Edger CLASSIC: the design is faulty…but the Edger Pro is the state of the art in paint edgers. The rollers are 4 inches wide and 2 inches in diameter with a 3/8-inch nap that evenly covers both flat and lightly textured surfaces. My second-favorite pick, the Shur-Line Pro paint edger, makes quick work of cutting in around molding, ceiling lines, and interior corners, and it can be attached to an extension handle for hard-to-reach areas. In addition, if you are going to leave us negative reviews based on the length of time we were with you, please be accurate in what you are saying. The rigid molded handle is angled so that it obscures the user’s view of the leading edge, so I could not see how close I was to the edges.
