Hand Tools: Green Toad Pivoting Paint Brush
Ergonomic Design Ensures Comfort and Reduces Joint Stress; Unique Rotating Brush Head Pivots to Paint at Any Angle.
Anyone who has used a typical paintbrush or roller knows how painful and strenuous it can be on your hands, wrists and shoulders. For some, like those with limited manual dexterity or other physical challenges, painting with a traditional brush is virtually impossible.
Introducing the Green Toad—the first truly ergonomic pivoting paint brush system that makes it easy and comfortable for anyone to paint quickly and accurately. Designed by Margco International in consultation with physical therapists, the Green Toad system combines an exclusive, patent-pending comfort-grip handle with a 360-degree pivoting brush head that reduces the pain and discomfort associated with traditional paintbrushes.
The 360-degree rotating brush head locks securely in eight different positions enabling the application of paint, stain or varnish from any angle. This not only reduces hand and wrist strain, but also improves accuracy in tight spots and challenging trim work. A quick release button on the ergonomic handle makes switching attachments a snap.
Users can change brush sizes or paint colors by simply snapping a new brush head into place. Rollers click into place and paint from eight different angles without twisting your wrist.
While ideal for do-it-yourselfers, the Green Toad is also a smart choice for professional painters for its comfort and ease of use, helping to reduce repetitive stress injuries and the associated time lost.
In addition to being comfortable and convenient, the Green Toad is also actually, well, green. All plastic parts, including the handle, brush heads, bristles and most internal parts, have been treated with Earthgreen polymers, which makes them biodegradable, compostable and recyclable.
The handle features a lifetime warranty. Available paint head attachments include 1.5- and 2.5-inch tapered brushes, 2- and 3-inch straight brushes, and 4-, 6- and 9-inch rollers. Roller extension poles, paint pad attachments and innovative, earth-friendly paint trays are currently under development.
