The AccuBrush MX Paint Edger is a breeze to use

May We Cut In?

Painting walls can be a fun and easy DIY project – you can even get the kids involved. The tricky part to making your paint job look professional is the edging, also called “cutting in,” around the trim and ceiling.

If you happen to be skilled with a paintbrush, you can freehand the cutting in. That’s how most pros do, but it’s time-consuming. You can also tape off the trim around the windows, the baseboard and the perimeter of the ceiling with painter’s tape, then cut it in with a paintbrush. This is even more time-consuming and costly.

Another option is the AccuBrush MX Paint Edger. This tool could reduce hours of prep time and eliminate unsightly brush strokes on your ceiling and trim.

What is the AccuBrush MX Paint Edger?

The AccuBrush MX Paint Edger is a paint roller and paintbrush in one. The four-inch roller applies the paint to the wall. Then a small paintbrush just behind the roller cuts in a perfect line along the edge of your trim or ceiling.

How We Tested It

To test the AccuBrush MX Paint Edger, we mocked up a test wall with a 4×8 sheet of drywall. We added some baseboard and window trim, rolled on a coat of primer, then put the AccuBrush MX to work.

We also tested the AccuBrush MX on a piece of acrylic glass, just to see how the tool works from the backside.

Finally, to test its accuracy, we went into the Family Handyman home lab and did some cutting in on a wall and ceiling.

Product Features

The AccuBrush MX Paint Edger movable shield keeps paint from crossing the cut-in line and acts as a guide along the edge as you paint. The roller and brush are quick release for easy cleaning or replacing. Its lightweight housing is well balanced, and the handle easy to grip.
