Best Paint Edger Tools in the UK

One of the hardest parts of any kind of painting job is being able to paint around edges without your paint going where it doesn't belong. Thankfully, there are some tools that make this much easier to do. The Accubrush MX Paint Edger with five rollers and five brushes allows you to create sharp lines precisely around the edges of surfaces without the risk of getting paint on the wrong surface. You can paint over window or door frames, ceilings, baseboards, and many other comparable areas, and it will be easy to do without overpainting or getting paint on the wrong surface.

Paint edgers certainly come in handy whenever you need to get an exact corner painted without getting any paint on unwanted surfaces, but many of them have a big drawback. If you're painting in multiple colours, the paint pad on most paint edgers tends to absorb paint and can be difficult to clean. This usually means that you're stuck with using just one colour at a time unless you have multiple paint edgers. The Shur-Line 2006561 Paint Edger Pro helps to take care of this problem. Included with the tool are 2 refill pads that can be quickly replaced if necessary (for example, for painting a wall or ceiling in several different colours or shades). Also, the pads are removed using a special button so as not to get dirty, making replacement of them a cinch.

This paint edger is very easy to use and has an ergonomic and flexible handle that allows you to utilise your own painting style without the edger getting in the way. If you are looking for a paint edger with which you can paint smooth and textured surfaces, then we definitely recommend choosing this model: the special pads here allow you to master gloss, semi-gloss, satin, eggshell, and flat paint styles. The pads are also capable of clinging to uneven surfaces, making this one of the most flexible and best all-around paint edgers out there.

Any serious painter probably already has an arsenal of tools for getting painting jobs done, including threaded poles for things like paint rollers that help in painting the upper parts of walls and ceilings. However, what many painters might be missing is the perfect paint edger to assist in getting perfectly straight lines at the edges without getting paint on other areas. That is where the Shur-Line 500ZS Trim Paint Edge comes in. This model provides fixation to the Threaded Extension Poles to paint the wall under the ceiling without having to stand on a ladder or foot stool. In addition, this model includes pivoting and swivelling mechanisms that provide even more comfortable operation, especially when you're having to paint an area while reaching up at an angle.

This Paint edger compares favourably with most analogues by its functionality: for example, the pad dimensions of 14.6 x 11.5 cm allow you to effectively paint a large surface area while spending a minimum of time doing so. The paint pad is also quite durable and can be easily washed after use, giving you a great paint edger that should last you for a long time. In the end, this model is a worthy alternative to rollers and brushes.

One of the things about most paint edgers is that they tend to be pretty specific tools used for only a specific area of a painted surface. While they can definitely come in handy, some painters would find it nice to have a tool that is a bit more flexible in use. With this unique Harris 102012600 9in Paint Set, you can effectively paint large areas as well as corners and lines along skirting boards and even around non-straight edges. Furthermore, replacing the different pads is quite easy, as they all snap firmly into the handle and are designed to work with emulsion paints.

Speaking more about the pads, this kit comes with a number of unique ones included with the set that allow you to paint on all kinds of surfaces. The large pad lets you paint over a large area, while the corner and edge pads give you the right shapes for getting some hard-to-reach areas. There is even a window pad that makes it easy to paint window frames. All of the pads are made from a special blend of materials that absorbs paint evenly and then applies it evenly without dripping. So, in a couple of passes, you get a perfectly painted surface. If these capabilities sound like what you need, then don't hesitate to choose this edge painting kit.

Not all paint edgers are fancy kits that provide you with a variety of different pads. Some just include a single rectangle-shaped pad that makes it easy for painting around edges, just like this WinHux Threaded Handle Paint Pad. But don't let this simple appearance fool you - this paint edger is a lot more flexible in use than it first appears. This pad's soft rubberised grip fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and won't easily slip out while using it. The tool is compatible with all proprietary extension poles, as well as other manufacturers' poles if the threads are the same, so you are not stuck with just a short handle. It has a bevelled front and sides so you can paint over even edges with ease.

One feature that really puts this model over many others is its simple but effective handle. The tilt angle of the handle can be adjusted in the range of 45 degrees and is securely fixed in the position of your choice. This will make it easier for you to adapt to painting certain surfaces, especially those that are not easily reached and really need to be painted at a certain angle. If there is a negative to be found with this model, it would be that the working surface wears out rather quickly, but thankfully replacement pads can be purchased with the model. Overall, this simple paint edger is one of the more effective and flexible models out there.
