Does anyone use these? Just wondering what the results are like?

My wife is the house painter, she won't let me do it because she's much,
much better at it than I am. She uses a selection of paint pads and does
an excellent job with them.

I think much depends on the quality of the pads.

OTOH, I do a much better job of varnishing that she does, and I prefer
to use foam brushes for the final coat since these end up leaving a
finish as good as a sprayed finish but without the hassle involved in
spraying.
