User Reviews

This simple, easy to use device is a huge time saver for trim work and small flat to mildly curved items. It has saved me more time than I can fairly estimate without sounding like I'm making up numbers.

Those who are bashing it simply dont know how to use it properly or should stick to a slow going standard brush. Some should probably pay someone to paint for them based on what I read!!! YIKES!

I love this thing so much, I'm here today to order another one. I've worn out the pad and bristles I've used it so much!!! THE BEST $10 PAITING PRODUCT EVER!!! -- Those who rate poor should not be painting...
The item works as advertised and is easy to clean. It doesn't drip much at all. I just found that with most of my trim not being flat surfaces it wasn't terribly useful. I wound up using a brush and dealing with the drips. -- Works but not terribly useful
Bought this from HD, thinking it would save me time. In the long run, the rework I had to perform negated any time savings I should have received.

The system works by loading paint into the device and delivering the paint to the wall through the trim pad, pressurized by a spring loaded piston that pushes the paint through the pad. The amount of paint delivered is regulated by the trigger mechanism.

Unfortunately, the spring is too strong for the device. When the trigger is pushed, even momentarily, too much paint is pushed out the pad, causing drips, run, and globs. Additionally, paint leaked out the back end of the device, making a larger mess.

Not a bad idea as a time saver, but the design needs work. This product gets an A for Effort, but an F for Failure. -- Significant Design Issues
It broke the second time I used it. The seal inside the unit gave out and allowed the paint to go past the plunger to the top of the handle and then spill out of the top. -- Poor construction
I used this product after checking out an instructional video. The result was disastrous. The business end of the trim painter spreads paint everywhere; it glops on crudely from the middle of the pad and flows out the edges, undesirably covering the sides of adjacent trim. Meanwhile, paint pours out the tail end of the unit, covering the floor beneath with a lot of paint. I was lucky enough to be working above a quality painter's cloth. The way this unit malfunctions could spread paint exactly where it's not meant to be, causing difficult to repair or expensive damage. Overall, I strongly suggest you buy a good brush and not waste your time with this product. -- This device can cause expensive damage. Beware.
