Home owners obsessed with ‘miracle’ $9 DIY Bunnings buy: ‘It’s a must have’

Homeowners have often turned to DIY tools to help them spruce up their homes without emptying their pockets, and a cheap Bunnings buy is proving to be the most popular of all.

The Monarch Pad Edger ($8.50) will help you paint straight lines with ease and prevent annoying pigment splatters from ruining your ceilings and windows.

Recently, shoppers went wild over a viral Bunnings video in which a man showed Australians how to use the product.

‘This is my favorite thing in history ever. I think about this every day. I think about this all night. “I’m staying awake, not sleeping, because I’m thinking about this,” stated the voiceover over the paint pad.

You simply dip the pad in paint and drag it along the edges of your walls, cutting clean lines with ease.

Many DIY enthusiasts have struggled to achieve a professional finish when painting their own walls, but Pad Edger offers a simple solution.

Other methods include using masking tape to ensure the paint doesn’t get anywhere unwanted or purchasing a precise brush and hoping for a steady hand.

Hundreds of Australians praised the “must-have” purchase in the comments.

“This is so good I even thought about using it for the entire wall,” one revealed.

“It always seems to be out of stock when we need it,” another complained.

‘I just used this an hour ago. Fantastic. No more recordings!’ said a man.

“A must for edges,” one woman wrote, and another said it was “the best thing ever.”

Some shared some complaints about the quality and lifespan of the pad.

“It’s fine until you wash it,” said one.

Bunnings also sells replacement ear pads for those who need extras.

“It works for the first line and then it just makes a mess,” another shared.

Others commented that the lines he made were not reliably straight and would still need to be checked by a professional at a later date.
