Hi,

has anyone bought any of these? I've seen them on ebay. They fit a
roller on the end of a drill and spin the excess paint off. There's
another one for paint brushes. Are they any good? Do they do what they
say?

The instructions say to use an old drill to spin the roller over a
dustbin. Why an old drill? Does the paint splatter everywhere? Is it
just to keep the paint off your shiny new drill? If so, I guess I'll
either need to design some spray guard or buy a cheap silverline or
aldi drill.

To clean paint rollers;

(a) buy cheap as chips roller sleeves from B&Q.
(b) place in black plastic sack after use
(c) chuck sack in bin.


That's also my method. But I have to do it when SWMBO isn't around,
because she insists on spending hours washing them. ;-)
