    Was in the local hardware today and they have a paint edger on sale. Never heard of them before. I've been doing a lot of painting and lots more to do. I'm not good enough to cut in free-hand so I use masking tape. Would you recommend trying a paint edger? If it does what is says it would make life a lot easier!
    Thanks

    Is it a corner pad sponge thing?

    That's it. Has two little guide wheels.

    They're good for someone not comfortable cutting in by hand. It goes around lights, skirtings, door-frames, lightswitches etc. My Uncle, who's a painter/decorator said he'd recommend them if you don't want to cut in by hand.
