Cheap but false economy: review Harris Brush Set

Advantages: Light and comfortable, widely available,
Disadvantages: Shed bristles

...much! I bought these Harris brushes from Woolworths just before they closed down. They seemed like a bargain. Since then I've discovered they are widely sold everywhere. I brought some paint testers and away I went... first impressions: they look nice light and comfortable seemed to distribute the paint fairly evenly But then...They shed bristles!!! This is extremely annoying. I got tried of scratching them out from where they became plastered to ...
...I'd have a tiny gap in the paint coverage that was difficult to blend in with the surroundings. In the end, I got fed up and and relied on the little brushes that come with with the Dulux testers.

Review of Harris Premier Brush Set

Mini Roller sleeves Gloss perfect for smaller paint projects

Advantages: A nifty tool that can complete medium sized painting projects giving a smooth an even finish.
Disadvantages: Still need to cut in with a brush.

Review of Mini Roller Sleeves Gloss

As easy as painting by numbers

Advantages: Almost makes painting the walls a pleasure
Disadvantages: can get a little heavy if fully filled

...This method being the brilliant paint runner system... ** WHAT IS IT..? It is a painting tool, which looks a little like a fat paint roller, that you simply fill up with paint and then use as you would a normal roller...only without the hassle. Its apparent unique design allows it to paint evenly without the drips and the mess, thus helping you to paint a room in a fraction of the time that you would normally take with a normal paint roller. ** ...
...are met with the actual paint runner system which, as I said, looks like a fat paint roller trapped inside an orange frame, locked in by two blue plastic caps... Also, you get three short lengths of hollow tubes which screw together and attach to the orange plastic frame on the roller to give you a good couple of metre reach for those higher areas... A rather strange looking foam covered miniature roller system which is for the edges of walls A ...
