What happens here

Chris and John conclude their review of the Fast Trim roller system. They summarize the tool's significant challenges, including difficulty in keeping paint off the red protective edge, uneven application on textured walls, and the inability to visually monitor the cut-in when using an extension pole. They compare the results to traditional painting methods, emphasizing the importance of tactile feedback and direct vision for professional-quality cut-ins. The DIYer provides a rating, reflecting the tool's poor performance for achieving clean lines, especially on common textured surfaces and trim work. They ultimately recommend traditional brushes and rollers for better results.

Goal: Provide a comprehensive assessment of the Fast Trim roller's performance.

professional painters give it a try so just want to go over just a few of the things with this and I know we watch the video but that's the there's a video faster in the video and we tried to do some of the things to get this to work I know one thing that's really gonna slow you down is trying to keep paying off this thing I mean it's incredibly difficult to try to keep it off the red part as we got paint all over our trim just in this short amount of time and notice that the edges of the the roller right here it's all you know sticking out so it's not trimmed out very well it's not cut it's kind of I don't know just a low quality roller but the system itself we've had you know some real struggles trying to get a straight line and I would think I think we're like okay painters and I think if you're a do-it-yourselfer if we're struggling with it if yourself might struggle a lot more with it so any challenges you can see anybody happy with it you know I think the I think it's it's pretty big pain to keep things off of the red I think maybe maybe maybe if you had perfect circumstances it was a level five finish you your trim was perfectly level straight there were no issues with that you might be able to make it happen and you'd walk away with a straight line but I think that there are other products that are a little bit more forgiving and that will yeah here's another issue and I saw when Lisa was rolling the ceiling and tried to keep you know the right classes typically you're gonna have the roller in your hand and the roller would be straight you're gonna be doing your edges you could put the right amount of pressure you can feel the amount of pressure you're putting and you really have a good idea of what you're doing a lot of question everybody once this thing is up its extended and they had an angle trying to get the right amount of pressure you'll across the whole roller evenly and that's what Lisa was struggling with right there was just that whole process I just think that's extremely difficult and and I don't know if I touched on it wouldn't when I'm doing cut ends when I'm doing ceiling cut ends high work I like to be right there and see what I'm going I like to see if I'm missing anything if there's little pin holes divots that I need to work the thing into and once it's extended and you can't see what you're doing you truly can't see if in these you know one toe to toe street coats I think this is a professional painter you need to be right…
