I bought this yesterday on the recommendation of the girl working in the paint department and I absolutely love it. You do need a very steady hand while working with this tool and need to be careful to not use to much paint but it makes a huge difference. I did not have to tape off anything and was able to create a nice clean edge while painting. You may want to read some more indepth reviews on similar items to get a clear idea on how to use this properly. It does work like a charm and I will never use tape again.
