Paint edger cuts in, keeps it clean
November 30, 2007
This weekend, whaddya say we paint a room?
To assist in this endeavor, I recommend two of Shur-Line's quirkier offerings, the edger and the Easy Reach extension pole.
The edger has little wheels to slide along your crown or baseboard molding, leaving a controlled edge as you cut in. No tape necessary.
And I don't want to overdo the Star Wars references, but the pole opens like that dual light saber that Darth Maul wielded around.
As you grip the red handle and pull, metal shafts extend from both ends, stretching it from 30 to 60 inches.
But if you're going to use it to practice thrusting and parrying, better make sure there's no wet paint on the end.
That can get messy.

That's a pretty cool tool. It can be quite a chore to keep the paint off the baseboards. Although I still don't know if I'll ever be excited to paint one of my rooms!
Too bad the edger doesn't paint where the little wheels are, leaving a gap that you still have to paint by hand!
