Are those paint pad things any good?

[HauntedLittleLunatic]

For either bulk of wall (hate the splatter you get with a roller)?
Or
For cutting in?

Yes they are quick but I ahve found a little patchy-perhaps it was just the quality of paint I used.

I can't top a brush for cutting in though, a good thick one

I love them. Much less mess than with a roller but cybbo is right, you need a brush for the edges.

What do you think to coverage nocake? Do you agree with cybbo on that.

Really keen a to avoid roller splatter but also want to get away with 1 coat.

Yes, the coverage can be patchy but they're so quick to use and so clean that I don't mind putting on a second coat.

I have one- you need more than 1 coat but they are so quick you'll have it done in no time
