Here are some specialized tools that can help take the sting out of painting:
Belt bucket: Attaching around the painter's waist, the Belt Bucket keeps paint handy and hands free. This is an ideal solution for any painting that requires ladders. Removable liners make it easy to switch paints, as well as simplifying clean up. They feature snap-on lids, which make it possible to store and save paint for later.
Best of all, because the paint is secured around your waist, there are no more aching arms and wrists from holding a bucket, or sore backs from leaning down to dip the brush in a tray or bucket on the floor. www.thebeltbucket.com
Golden Touch microfibre roller: Created with a microfibre fabric blend, the Golden Touch roller by Simms cuts down splatter and lint. The durable, plastic core rollers are easy to wash, and are available in sizes ranging from six to 29 mm -- each made for use with specific types of paints. www.tssimms.com
Quick painter: The Homeright Quick Painter fills directly from the paint can, and holds enough paint to trim up to 50 linear feet with one fill. Just push the trigger and paint the wall. The Quick Painter eliminates the need to carry around buckets or constantly dip and wipe brushes. And the replaceable three-inch pad provides smooth, even results. www.homeright.com
