BEHR DYNASTY® Interior Paint Review
2-Edge Tool, 5-in-1
By Chris Berry | The Idaho Painter December 14, 2021
Every now and then a tool comes along made for a painter by a painter that is a must have. I wish I could say it happens all the time but it is rare. I want to introduce Steve Enguita, a painter out of Florida who is the mastermind behind this essential tool. The 2 Edge Knife combines a utility knife and a 5-in-1 tool to make one heck of a versatile painters tool. Two tools we utilize on every job site. Creating a tool that solves a problem while maintaining high quality is not easy, yet this tool checks both of these off. At first touch you know this is well built. The blade quickly and easily comes out to change or reverse with a push of a button. It uses standard utility blades that you can buy almost anywhere. The blade retracts simply and easily with your thumb where it rests inside the handle of the 5-in-1 tool. The 5-in-1 end is ground and polished just right. I have never lost a 2-Edge knife for several reasons.

Hello to all you, our Paint Life family. How is your week and even your month been like? The Paint Life Crew has had a very busy month that has been packed with many exciting announcements and some very stressful announcements as well. We have all been very excited to share with you what we have been working on for the last three years and the response from you all has been very overjoying. Today is The Idaho Painter, (A.K.A) Chris Berry, (A.K.A) my father’s birthday. Birthdays have always been a big deal in our family as early as I can remember and today I am sitting at work reflecting on my life being and having the privilege of being the daughter of “The Idaho Painter”.
Wagner Smart Roller Review
By Chris Berry | The Idaho Painter October 21, 2021
Innovation in painting tools will probably never end in the commercial painting industry; going from brushes, to rollers, to sprayers and onward. Any product that can be used to save time and/or increase quality is a worthwhile addition to a painter’s toolkit. Unfortunately, with the Wagner Smart Roller, these traits are lacking. For this review I am using the base model of the Wagner Smart roller that I purchased from my local hardware store for $25.99. The roller itself works as advertised, but it not clear whether its a professional or DIY tool. It has a long tube that can be manually filled with paint and then pushed out through the perforated roller cover so you don’t have to keep visiting your paint tray to reload. That being said, this model does still have a few practical issues in its use.
