When it comes to painting your home or business, there are a lot of necessary tools and details to keep up with, but how do you know which ones are most important? We’ve compiled a list of some of the latest cutting-edge tools to help you on the job. These releases can be a lifesaver as you strive to work in the most efficient way possible.

Purdy Premium Painter’s Tool

The Purdy Premium Painter’s Tool comes in three varieties: 6-in-1, 10-in-1, and Folding 10-in-1. Made of rust-resistant stainless steel with a sturdy hammer end, it handles scraping, gouging, opening cans, and setting nails with ease.

3M Hand-Masker Masking Plastic

3M’s Hand-Masker Masking Plastic is a significant upgrade from traditional masking paper. It doesn’t absorb moisture or shrink after drying, stretches around objects without tearing, and prevents paint bleed-through. With twice the roll length of standard paper rolls, it drastically speeds up large surface prep.

Trimaco E-Z Up 12-Foot Dust Containment Pole

The Trimaco E-Z Up 12-Foot Pole features a non-slip foot with a heavy-duty bottom spring that ensures a snug, secure fit against ceilings. Combined with Trimaco’s heavy-duty enclosure zippers and plastic sheeting, it allows you to construct instant dust barrier doorways. The aluminum pole extends easily from 4′ 9″ to 12′.

Xtend+Climb Pro Series Wide Step Ladder

The Xtend+Climb Pro Series Wide Step Ladder is engineered for extended overhead work, reducing foot fatigue thanks to extra-wide rungs. Available in multiple duty ratings for different weight capacities, it offers telescoping convenience and maximum stability for hard-to-reach projects.

Purdy “Nest” Paint Trays & Liners

Purdy “Nest” Paint Trays & Liners feature an inverted liner design that acts as an easy snap-on lid, complete with a pour spout for quick cleanup. The 18-inch paint tray rests securely over a dual roll-off 5-gallon bucket, serving as both a working tray and a storage lid.

Purdy Putty Knives

Purdy Putty Knives come in 1.5-inch and 2-inch blade widths. Available in rust-resistant stainless steel or high-carbon steel with stiff chisel edges, these contractor-grade tools offer the flexibility and durability required for proper surface prep and patching.

MiracleWipes for Paint

MiracleWipes for Paint are heavy-duty surface prep and cleanup wipes designed for multi-surface use. Measuring 12″ x 6″, these absorbent wipes easily remove wet paint, caulk, grease, and epoxy from hands, surfaces, and tools without redepositing residue.

As you can see, these nifty tools provide helpful shortcuts for the labor involved in a painting project.
