9" Premium Paint Pad w/Comfort Grip handle is designed with a short nylon fiber flock for the smoothest application and even coverage with less splatter. This non-reticulated high density closed cell foam pad features a special "non-rip" protective layer to ensure no damage to the pad even when used on very rough surfaces for paint and stain applications. Pads have beveled front and side edges for accurate trimming with a radius leading edge, not bi-directional. The pivoting handle provides an increased range of motion & ergonomic comfort while the handle includes a locking feature to lock handle in place vs. pad base. The threaded handle easily screws onto most extension poles and the easy release pad lock keeps hands clean while removing pad.
