Power Tools for Beginners: Sidekick

[@Elviretube]

After taking popcorn off a 1450 sqft home, repaint ceilings, 3/4 repainting the entire home by hand with a 6 inch roller, bc I am not 21 anymore and rotator cuffs give me a challenge with 9 inch roller, and coming the conclusion that I do not like to colors on the walls, thus deciding to start over, when I found this gizmo last week, and just did one of the largest walls (12x30 slanted) in a great color in 25 min. incl. the cut at the ceiling with the Shure Edge, I am really in heaven! Not exhausted, no pain in rotator cuffs, bc if in case you are wondering, even a 6 inch roller holds a little over 1 lb of paint!!!! and that gets heavy after 25 min. up and down, dipping into that tray! Oh, BTW, I am over 65 and doing this alone! Wish Home Depot had told me about this gizmo from the start - $85 is nothing - my body and my time is, since I still work 3/4 time in my own biz! Thank you for your very clear explanation showing how to work/clean it. You are appreciated! :)

Appreciate the detailed and in-depth review! We're looking at all sorts of paint systems.

Awesome tutorial. Just bought two of those. Got one delivered via Lowes, but it was opened and already used, missing the roller (grr).. so that is going back when I can. Amazon just delivered it's replacement the next day. Painted the bathroom in about 5-10 mins. Prepping took way longer (tape and tarp). MIGHT do another coat (wall is ancient paint from the late 1940s) since the way seems wicked thirsty. Either way, off to cleaning. Thanks again for sharing your video.

Do you have an issue with paint dripping from roller head where it seals around the arm?

Word of advice.Never paint squares on walls when testing colours.Instead stick a printer paper page to the wall and paint that instead. Painting squares on walls can cause raised edges and the painredcsquares can leech out through your finish coat
