Just clip the pump unit to the paint pot, drop in the tube and away you go. It keeps one hand free so you can hang onto the ladder and there’s an edging kit and and extension pole for those of you with mansions. It only seems to come in the Weathershield masonry paint and the colour range is limited but beige is the new black right? £49.99

The complete painting system, combines the power of a pump to dispense and control paint from specially designed packs.
