Hand Painting Tools Guide — Prices & Recommendations 2026 | ramo.co.il

Type of work is the first parameter to consider. For stripping old surfaces — a paint scraper is sufficient. For painting large areas quickly — a spray gun is better. For precision work near edges, windows, and doors — a guard ruler is essential.

Common mistake: Many people buy only brushes and rollers, ignoring spray guns — which are 3-5x faster on large surfaces. Check paint viscosity: for thin paints — a regular air gun suffices. For Tambortex, putty, and thick materials — a dedicated Tambortex gun (plastic or metal) is required.

Local tip: In Israel's Mediterranean climate, paint dries fast in summer — use a spray gun in early morning hours for even results. In winter, ensure the surface is completely dry before painting.

Preparation: Before painting, clean the surface thoroughly of dust, oil, and old paint residue — use the 7-inch paint scraper to remove old layers. Cover edges and frames with a guard ruler to minimize mess.

Usage: Fill the spray gun tank to 3/4 capacity (prevents air intake). Adjust spray pressure to paint type — high pressure for thin paints, low pressure for thick materials. For the Tambortex gun — clean immediately after use.

Maintenance & Safety: Rinse all tools immediately after use with the appropriate solvent (water for water-based paints, solvent for oil-based). Store metal tools completely dry. Always work with adequate ventilation and wear safety glasses.
