Abstract: A liquid application tool (10,110) that holds a liquid applicator (14) at an angle to a handle (12,112). The tool (10,110) broadly comprises a handle (12,112), a liquid applicator (14,114) and a flexible arm (16,116) between the handle (12,112) and the applicator (14,114). The handle (12,112) may be adapted to be held in a user's hand. The applicator (14,114) preferably comprises a roller assembly (32) capable of holding a paint roller. The arm (16) preferably comprises L-shaped segments (20,22) joined by an adjustable joint (24) in order to adjust the angle. Alternatively, the flexible arm (116) may bend along at least a portion of its length in order to adjust the angle.
