Review on Optimized Graco Pressure ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ Roller Kit | Model 244512 by Jeff Bourke

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too heavy and cumbersome for ceilings and most walls

Pros: Quality materials, good assembly and easy assembly. So why only 3 stars? This is not an easy-to-use tool. The first big issue is weight. Durable, high quality aluminum versus plastic equals heavy weight and after trying to paint the ceiling I was tired. I also added an extended pole. This added extra weight that only increased as the color flowed through. The trigger is also a serious disadvantage. It works great when spraying walls, but isn't very ergonomic when used at the end of a roller. bottom line? After painting 3 rooms. One with this mechanical packer, one with a standard roller and the last with a spray and backpack, spray and backpack was quickest and easiest. Using this roller jig actually took longer than using a regular roller and no kidding, my arms felt like I had done 100 push ups and curls. Save your money and use it on tape and mastic paper so you can spray and roll.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Some bugs
