FTK1-4 Trim and Edging Kit with 1 Handle, 1 Tray, 1-3 and 1-5-Inch PaintShield Edger Rollers, 4-Piece

I watched a couple of the how to videos on this product to get tips on how to use it properly. I used it to paint a bedroom, so I had a window, closet and door to cut in, and found it looked much straighter and was faster than if I had done it free hand. I found it to be fairly easy to use and I am happy with the purchase.

This is a great product that is a huge time saver but it does take some practice to get it right. If you're having trouble getting it to work properly then contact the manufacturer. He's very approachable and it's so worth the trouble to get the FasTrim working for you.

I have tried many items to do the cut in and each time I go back to doing it by hand. I was not able in my first and only test of doing cut ins in the closet to get as close to the edge as I wanted. It got close and it was a very crisp line but not close enough to the edges as I liked so I went back and cut in by hand. Maybe if you are not good at doing it by hand this would be a good option. Maybe I just did not get enough paint in the foam tip that is suppose to squeeze out. I will probably give it another try because the paint it did put down, had it got to the very edge like I like would have only required one coat for the cut in because it did lay a nice even coat of paint.

The only thing I got from this was the desire to learn how to cut in without tape or a tool that states it will do the job. When you try to cheat or cut corners you are bound to have results that reflect it. While some may be happy with this product, I has completely unhappy with the product and ended up using it only between two doors after I cut the edges in. I watched the videos and followed as described. It simply does not get close to the trim as it should. When you have a contracted painter paint your new home and they cut by hand this tool will simply not cut it close enough to cover the original paint. Granted, part of the issue could be that one no longer HAS to prime before painting a new color thanks to the all in one paint options; thus, there is a clear difference between wall and trim prior to painting. I was excited to have this tool work because we have 12 foot ceilings and this was going to make my task a lot easier. I truly wanted it to work. If nothing else, I was happy that I no longer need tape or this kit to cut the edges. Do yourself a favor and buy a decent brush that specifically says it is for cutting and practice a bit in areas that are not focal points- you will not regret spending the time learning the best way to accomplish it rather than learning how to fight with this product.

This did not perform anywhere near the way it did on the youtube video which I watched at least 3 times. I am a 30 year remodeler, and am always looking for a better way to accomplish a task. When it comes to cutting in a painting job, this is not a better way.

First of all iam a professional painter, and skeptical on all of these products that promise quick and easy results, as a pro I know nothing in painting is easy , but I bit the bullet and tryed it, because the vids looked promise ing.The product worked very good on the baseboards I painted was surprised on that end, but when I tryed cutting in the wall which was grey where it meets the ceilng which was white. It made a mess could not keep the Grey off of the ceiling, I tryed very hard to follow the instructions to the tee. So it did ok on trim not for wall cut in of ceilng. Hope this helps someone else. Maybe w more practice it may have done better. Ken

I'm a DIY painter and I found this product to work only marginally well. It did not put a great straight line on the edge from my ceiling to walls. I had to revert to the sureline edger I will be asking for the money back guarantee
