[@swere1240]

i think the trick is you gotta hold your mouth at the exact right angle for it to work. lmao

[@C8XC8X]

I ended up with something very similar called a Painthelpers Accubrush. I think it's constructed a little better but same design. It also does not work and was a waste of money. I was so disappointed I never even cleaned the paint off it, just threw it in the corner and learned to cut in the hard way.

[@nelsonsilva6491]

That's not the original is a copy but I don't know if change anything

You are not alone. I purchased this same tool thinking I would never have to mask, well it didn’t work all that great.

[@mikehowell2279]

In over a decade of painting for a living I've tried dozens of edging tools like this. I've never found one as fast or as clean as doing it freehand with a good brush.

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for sharing

[@randywebb7052]

I wish I could free hand w a good brush. I use Purdy Clear Cut and still have to use tape

[@mikehowell2279]

@@randywebb7052 just keep practicing and it'll come to you. I learned by practicing with tape, kinda like bumpers in a bowling alley lol. You'll get the hang of it.

[@randywebb7052]

It's actually encouraging, thank you. I started bowling in leaves when I was 8 years old and bold until I was physically simply unable to do so anymore. League averages were routinely right around 201 or 202. I even shot a 299 on my 20th birthday. I'm not even close to 20 anymore LOL

[@davidlovell7724]

Just watched 3 videos about the accubrush, and they all look great in the demo, I was thinking of buying one as I don't have the best straight arm without the odd shake , plus am right handed with two middle fingers missing due to an accident in the 70's so please can you let me know what is better for cutting in as am half way through just need cutting in to finish. Thanks for your video

[@86joewest]

I bought, and use the Accubrush, pretty much the same thing/idea, and it works great!

[@taliarose6573]

Just hand cut corners in. And if you need it super good. Tape caulk the corner, paint it and pull the tape with caulk on it off. Never go into a corner or edge with a wet or full brush. Cut it away from edge at first, then work your way in to corner or edge and make your straight line. Happy painting ALL.

[@immeohmyoh]

just put the tip in 3 different way, vertical first, then each side, careful with the dollop

[@OhBlivEUn]

I bought a paint edger a while back and it was terrible. Enjoy smearing the ceiling after getting tired of watching the wheels every dip. Just get good with a mid-high quality brush and you will be faster and have a proper finish

We see and agree that it's incredibly cheap! Thanks for looking out for us. I almost bought it!! We appreciate your insight!

[@gregmaynard6742]

I've been painting for 35 years. I bought the accubrush 15 years ago and I love it. I'm on my 3rd one now. I'm rough on tools. The trick is your final pass needs to be pulled backwards. The brush leave a streak otherwise. I can cut-in an entire house walls to ceiling in a couple hours. 90 degree corners only. I guess it depends on the person using the tool.

[@nram1]

Thanks. After watching so many videos, I think I'll get one. What do you mean "pulled backwards"?

[@Idahopainter]

[@spencercolgan]

They advertise it on my channel too. I saw you in their commercial. I saw you on their commercial. I bought the whole gamut of accessories in 2010. It was $140 at the time. I had used it. I was painting over textured walls. The customer was selling the house. It’s a waste of money of you buy it. If you’re selling it, you’ve already made your million dollar profit after every do it yourselfer has forgotten what they’ve paid for it.

[@Munky332]

Here's a better idea, go and get one of the "standard" paint edgers, you know, the typical Shur-Line dingus. Get you a ketchup (Condiment) bottle from the dollar store. Fill that sucker with paint. slather that shit on the edge tool like its a hotdog. initially its going to be pretty dry, but it'll load up quicker as you use it. This way you can eliminate having to deal with going back to the paint tray. Some people recommend using a brush to brush the paint into the edge tool, but I find it easier to just straight squirt some paint from the ketchup bottle, slide it a few feet, squirt, slide, squirt slide.. you get the idea. Once you are done, the whole cleanup is throw the ketchup bottle away (there's probably only a few ounces of paint in there left anyways) and throw out the edge tool pad. I've tried the whole cutting in with a brush thing, I don't professionally paint, I'm just here for the DIY stuff. I fucking *HATE* masking, I HATE cutting in. I HATE rolling. doing it my way saved me a TON of time and made far less mess with fewer errors, and it was easier when I could throw the edge tool on a small extendo stick for the ceilings instead of having to lug around a ladder. For the amateur like me, who isn't going to be brushing for the rest of his life, the shur-line will get the job done probably better than dealing with a brush. That's not to say it replaces it though, there's just some spots you need a brush, but it significantly reduces having to whip it out, and it reduces clean-up time. Hell, I handed it to my 9 year old son and he was able to edge the baseboards perfectly.

[@OhBlivEUn]

You can also whiz roll + cut then back whiz if you can handle spreading a ton of paint at once but it might be inconsistent. The easiest and best way for the average job will always be an inch of a paint in a can with a decent quality brush that reduces streaks with a feathered edge. Roll immediately, preferably with a partner so all paint dries together

[@cathyc2665]

It SOUNDS cheap!! I'll just do my best with an angled Purdy brush.

[@chrisrobbins3888]

what about for doing a second cut where you don’t need to go all the way up to the corner?

[@petethehandyman9185]

[@norajwinn5361]

Thank you for this video. I was tempted but i had my doubts since i saw no other products like it. Plus the "special half off price" of $35.. Good thing i found this video.

[@julies1ify]

I have the Accubrush handheld, doesnt have a pole adapter as yours does. They are built cheap but not going to lie, its a game changer for a weekend warrior painter like me but def not a tool for an everyday painter. I can cut in a ceiling in a 15' x 15' room in 30-40 minutes flawlessy with some common sense such as wiping certain areas of the tool down after loading the roller up. People who buy this are like me, not professional painters who cut in everyday. I would highly recommend it to the average home owner

[@Idahopainter]

They suck

[@mikefisher474]

I agree. I have an Accubrush and it does work (with limitations). Like any tool, it takes a bit to learn how to use it properly. Since I don't cut in wall/ceilings for a living it does save me a lot of time and gives me better results. I'm sure a pro wouldn't find it better. The Accubrush also comes with a lot of instructions.

[@JohnSmith-dt2yb]

Just found your channel. I decided along time ago that I’d never buy any of these painting gadgets. From brush holders to corner cutters . Looking fwd to watching some videos to help hone my skills.. Thanks 👍

[@Idahopainter]

Total junk

[@frankiegodinez8864]

I got my hands on one of these when working for a large painting company a few years ago. I ended up breaking it on purpose to use it as a regular roller as someone had stolen my rollers and had no time to run to the store. They are absolute garbage.

[@cdauterive1]

Is there one you would recommend?

[@artist1303]

I use mine all the time. The one you got is for ceilings which don’t work! The other one specifically for trim work work good if you know how to use it

[@michaelkleinman9650]

I totally agree, The MX model works well if you know how to use it. The Idaho painter did not read the directions and has no idea how to use it.

No correct me if I'm wrong, but this said tools, as in multiple, pluralized, but there's only one tool being reviewed.

[@justsittinhere72]

I have tried different paint pads with the little rollers but never that device. In my experience nothing is better or faster than cutting in with a good brush. My favorite depending on the paint is a Wooster Ultra Pro (usually extra firm) or Wooster Chinex. I like the 2 1/2" angled brush for most cutting in and even flat work.

[@xalonetv6399]

Definitely looks like cheap dollar store toy plastic. I remember YEARS ago when I started watching your videos, "rolling dog" send you a bunch of stiff and I actually won one of their brushes from you. 4 months later I seen Rolling Dog brand in my local dollar store. I felt so bad for you spending the money on shipping after that incident. Keep up the great content!

i was so annoyed a couple years back when you did this on a textured wall. clearly it wouldn't work. I didn't buy one and never will, but just like a lot of people thought it was potentially a good idea. 35 or 70$ is crazy, they're making a killing on this piece of junk

[@Idahopainter]

Total crap

[@garyK.45ACP]

All I have ever used for edging is a good quality 2.5" angled sash brush and a 4" roller. I put some paint in a 2 gallon pail with a 1 gallon size screen for the roller. I mask/tape trim, but for ceilings, corners just a brush and roller.

[@cctv5277]

Thanks for the video. Great advice. I am getting spammed with an advert for this on Facebook in the UK. I’ll keep using tape. 👍

[@smrsmd8522]

I bought it. Used it successful results but you still have to feather outter edge and you have to brush in 3 ways. I think it isnt what they say it is. Have to keep it clean. So literally long cieling cutts or trim cutts but you have to touch em up. Oh be carefull going over drywall compound with primer paints. Cause those wheels make touch ups. I think if you put technology of drywall taping flusher with wheels to the accubrush paint edge roller maybe even have an adapter for a sprayer on to it. Accubrush paint edger cutts em fairly straight but issues on that mini cutt in brush. But it sped up my cutt in time. For long cieling cutts. But im a drywall taper not the professional tradition taught painter. I thunk the accubrush system combined with the emery system with a paint sprayer would be good just so you can zip off long cieling cutts super fast. I see painters spray with cutt in back shield. Can they make a specific tip with a cutt in gaurd an maybe wheels that dont damage walls or fresh board.

[@tazzeltazzel2925]

[@largegar2241]

I completely disagree. I bought the basic version with no floating handle it came with 4 extra precision brushes and directions to access You Tube instructional videos. This unit saved me hours of time and worked flawlessly. Clean up was slightly longer after use than a brush. But the time savings was worth it. For the cost of two premium brushes it more than paid for itself.

[@Markpianist1]

In 2014 I didn't buy this unless wisely bought them. In my experience anyone who get bought out they make the product cheaper. I bought the accubrush and it works great. 1st off it does have an extension and I used it to cut in my two story vaulted ceilings. 2nd. It paints a long way and I open the door when I put it in the paint pan to dip it. 3rd they have a DVD they sent on how to use it at the time but also had a website with instructional videos. I just used it 2 weeks ago to cut in a normal height ceiling and it did a great job so maybe this is different although it looks exactly the same. Also accubrush at the time sold extra brushes and rollers. They also gave me extra rollers and brushes with the product. The rollers left no fuzz on the walls and it is super fast. So I don't know, my walls look great!!

what do you mean their extension poles are junk? i just block-filled a school-building last month with a 18" nest tray/roller and 8-24' generic (Mr. Longarm?..Menards) extension pole, and the roller cage kept turning on me when trying to apply pressure up high. i had to skip some tight corners under eaves. Only thing i can think to do to combat it next time when i go back to finish the backside next spring is to buy the 'purdy lock' poles with the little knob sticking out to prevent turning. I returned the 8-24' to Menards unscathed, fortunately . what would you suggest before i go and buy the purdy 8-16' pole?

[@renzo4296]

Yeah what a joke, I've always used good quality brushes, I know the Idaho painter uses the same methods, I just buy tools from Sherwin that I'm familiar with, Rodda, Benjamin Moore, Kelly Moore, even home depot and Lowe's but I'm very familiar with these products and brushes and rollers and frames and learning to properly use a brush is the best method and has been for the painting industry forever. I know the Idaho painter agrees. It's always good to try different things but this would be embarrassing and I'm glad he showed us this and warned everyone.

[@Jack-bs7cy]

[@Hellfighter77]

Even if this garbage still produced a straight line, you'd end up with framing because you can't load up on paint like you would a brush or thick nap roller.

[@smrsmd8522]

The emery edge paint brush edger tool looks. Good. I liked the the accubrush paint edge roller for getting enough paint on the wall with out the cutt in brush an it gets the paint a 8th of inch from exact corner. When i come back an feather the edge i do the cutt in. On the 8th of an inch. But i liked having a pole for the tops. But i think emery edger might be the combo. On big long cieling cutts on long walls it gets the paint close an on thick which sped up my time. I simply feather the oytter edge accumulate paint on brush then using tips of angled brush. Cutt in the 8th of inch. And the plastic ends of the accubrush sleeves come off so you can grab small 3,5/8" length sleeves an put the 2 plastic ends. I think its good long long cieling cutts over like 6 feet. But i think il try that emery paint edger. I like that one. Cut you can go into 3 ways circular cuts more versatile.

[@KJ_nyc]

I'm surprised you aren't equipped with a good lawyer to fight this level of infringement. It's totally illegal to use someone's likeness to sell a product without legal permission. The fact that the inventor allowed this to happen demonstrates SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. Oddly, over the past several months, I've seen a ton of commercials on this product, or something similar. (Who's paying for these commercials?) The first time I saw the commercial, I laughed. "What idiot would buy this, believing it could work," I asked. Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick. Of course, America is full of idiots, especially lazy ones, so I guess there's a ton of money to be made on something as silly as this. The truth is, there are millions of people out there who can't handle tape products. I never would have believed this until I witnessed one. I had an assistant recently who was a wondrous disaster with a roll of tape in his hand. He simply could not work with tape, no matter how many times I tried to teach him technique. His hands and fingers were SO uncoordinated, the tape roll totally derailed with each and every effort. It became a joke. Everyone quickly learned, don't hand him a roll of tape. So, imagine someone like that needing to paint a straight, clean edge. This product was made for someone like that, probably by someone like that. To each his own.
