Re: Wagner Power Rollers? Yes Or No


They aren't for small jobs for sure. As far as I know you have to use their roller covers. I don't remember them having a cover for the naps either. They are harder to clean than a 9" cover but worth the extra effort. You better have a backroller with you for this too. He will get close to the corners for you.

Remember to push the button to supply paint to the roller on the down stroke if you don't want to get covered with paint.

Like with so many other "firsts" the ones that come behind you improve on what you made while you are still trying to fix your old crap. That's life.
Those were my first rigs.
Made me $10,000-$12,000
a year, when that was money.

I used to use one a lot (Wagner) to paint popcorn ceilings. It was quick and convenient. When it broke (after about 100 uses) I didn't cry. That's about a buck a use.

I use there manual rollers. Holds about a quart in the handle. Saves dipping and beats cleaning out my sprayer for a small job..
