Testing ProDec Products

We have honed our decorating kit over the years down to the essential tools and equipment we believe are the best for the work we do. That does not mean we are not open to trying out new or different products, so we were delighted when we were asked us to test a few of their decorating tools from the ProDec range. 

Here are our first impressions of eight products from the ProDec range:

prodec shave hook

Shave Hook

We often use a shave hook for removing paint from awkward areas. It's a basic, but essential tool for decorators. This ProDec one is sharp and sturdy and feels well-made. We can't complain. We've carried on using this after testing and it's still performing well.

prodec dusting brush

Dusting Brush

The good ol' dusting brush. This is essential on all jobs (and no, a dustpan brush or a broom is not good enough!). The ProDec one we tested is good quality with perfectly soft bristles. Personally, I prefer a longer handle, but this one is great. It has held up well over a number of jobs, with no problems.

prodec paint brush holder

Magnetic Paint Brush Holder

A little superstar. We have always liked these and use them a lot to prevent brushes from falling in paint. These ProDec ones are the best. They have an integral paint can opener (which we didn't realise for quite a while!). Also, red and black are our brand colours. Bonus!

prodec scuttle

5 litre Scuttle

Another essential in the decorator's kit. Marked in litres and gallons, this is a decent size for cutting in and can be used for brushes and mini rollers. Works great with the magnetic clip. As good as you could expect. We have plenty on our van and wouldn't be without them.

 prodec tac cloths

Tack Cloths

 heavy duty scraper

Heavy Duty Scraper

The blade in the one we tested didn't sit quite right, but it worked adequately enough under our testing conditions.

Swivel Paint Pot Holder

This is surprisingly sturdy and well-made. It does exactly what it's suppose to - which is fix your paint kettle to a ladder allowing safe, hands-free work. It will come into its own in the exterior painting season. Great.
