Wooster Brush Quart Pail 8619 Pelican Hand Held 1, Gray & Red

Game changer

Excellent Item

Having seen the quality of others ie b@q I was drawn to this product via the ratings, arrived next day and used it with the liners, wow so easy and the grip is soft and perfect shape. With magnet for brush and room for small roller I fell liberated by a simple product but it works so well. Bit pricey I know but will last a lifetime. Don’t delay guys . It could just make your life easier.

Excellent product. So good I now have 2. Very useful when you use the inserts and the magnet stops your brush from getting overloaded and covered in paint.

I find holding a paint pot awkward, especially up a ladder. The handle gets in the way, and even when using a brush you have no way of getting rid of excess paint. Wooster have a good reputation (see traditionalpainter.com) so I thought I would spend what is quite a bit of money on a plastic pot. I was disappointed when it arrived - it didn't seem very comfortable. But it is very comfortable in use. The weight and angles are well-balanced and it makes painting much easier, much faster, and you are less likely to get backache. You are also less likely to drip paint, because you have the right amount on the brush. The plastic is thick, the green bits nice soft rubber. I think it will last forever.I use it with the disposable liners, which cost about £2 each. Saves on the washing up - it is quite an awkward shape inside.

Seems like a lot of money for a plastic pail doesn't it? BUT, this thing is so well designed, once you've tried it you'll never use anything else. It makes the whole job of cutting-in quick and easy. You grasp the body of the pail by putting your whole hand through the comfortable soft rubber grip (I also hold a damp cloth along with it), and it holds the paint, the cutting-in brush, and the roller for you. The brush is held above the paint reservoir by a magnet and the roller handle holds the roller above the charging surface. I simply clingfilm the roller, the brush and the pail at the end of each day, and it's ready to start again the next morning. I cannot recommend this little beauty enough.

I wish I had invented this brilliant product. I didn't realise the pail's soft-grip handle – good for either hand – extended underneath to form a flat non-slip base when you put it down, while the built-in magnet for retaining your brush is pure genius. I'm soon going to decorate our 3-story house once our builders have renovated the place (recently moved in): going to use it to edge-in everywhere and use mini-roller doors, skirtings and smaller walls, before carrying it round with a brush to fill in 'straight from the bucket'. Brilliant.
