PRO EDGE by Linzer DIY 5" Paint Edger Refill for Interior Projects

Having the replacements on hand when I had to paint 3 different rooms all a different color was a blessing. I just popped off the one pad and popped on a new one and then continued onto the next room and color.

Helps my painting go so much amoother

These fit perfectly on my existing edger and do a pretty good job at creating a straight line. However, it really depends on how steady your hand is. If you don't have a steady hand it's not going to create a perfect line, you'll still have small areas of imperfect lines. In life using this for doing walls after my ceiling has dried. My husband and I have used the device in 2 homes and it does work better than taping and using a brush, especially because it's faster.

Painting has to be my least favorite part of DIY. With that being said I try to have every tool to make painting as easy as possible. Since trim work can be time consuming because of no margins for error, I bought a paint edger after seeing one on YouTube. I love it! Now that I'm changing color I needed refills so chose these. All you have to do is squeeze each side of the edger and the refills pops right in. They are soft and yield a smooth paint finish. What I like is that the paint soaks into the pads and they make a nice, clean, smooth line. No dripping paint. Using these edgers really cut down on the time to paint a room. You may have to get really close to get in corners but these refills surely make for easier painting. You can also clean them.

I used to hate painting because getting that crisp line at the ceiling was near impossible. That is until I started using the Pro Edge edger. It became a piece of cake! The key is to put paint in a big open container so that it's easier to avoid getting paint on the side of the pad.

Inserting the handle into these disposable brush pads was easy, prepped the area for painting and started. The pads are flimsy but usable. It takes some experience to keep a good smooth stroke. I have used hard plastic backed pads before with ease. These take some effort but will do the job and won't require cleaning. If I was using a thicker paint I would prefer to use the hard backed pads. Thin to medium thin paints would be fine with these disposable pads. I used 2 pads, 1 started splitting across the handle insertion area after an hour of painting. Great for disposable quick or short lived painting. Not as controllable as hard backed pads. I would recommend these for smaller jobs, thin paints, smooth surfaces, and paints that are difficult to remove from reusable products.

The Linzer Pro Edge Edger Tool Refill (2 pack) is a fair price. The pads are cheap enough to use and discard. I found that the Edger Tool had to be kept totally vertical to the wall or it left unwanted paint trails on the other wall surface. I had difficulty keeping the Linzer Pro Edge Edger Tool vertical, so I returned to using a trim brush. I gave 3 stars because someone else may have better skill using the Linzer Pro Edge Edger Tool than I.

So I found these edger paint pads to be fairly decent, at most. I would caution not to apply to much paint paint. Apply too much will obviously cause a mess, lol. I used just light coats at a time, until I got desired look. Overall they're okay but didn't seem they'd last long due to the lack of quality.

"I forgot to add these items to my order in initially and wished that I could have added them to an order sent within minutes but was instead required to enlist a separate order meaning that I had to assemble another $35 in merchandise to avert extra shipping charges. It is my preference to put as much into an order as I reasonably can and then execute the order while enabling VPN, then ""wiping"" my computer immediately thereafter. It is the minimum requirement for geeks. So I shop other merchants more because of Walmart's restrictions. The mandatory login for general shopping is going to be a deal breaker for me. It means that I will look to Walmart as a last resort for shopping only. It is like someone following you around in a store."
