WoosterBrush R017-9 Sherlock Roller Frame, 9-Inch

This roller frame is a fantastic value for the price. It feels sturdy and well-built, making it easy to apply consistent pressure for a smooth, even coat of paint. The roller spins freely without sticking or dragging.It locks securely with the roller cover and doesn’t flex or feel cheap like some budget frames do. For the money, you really can’t beat this frame—great performance without the high price tag. Highly recommended for both DIYers and pros.

My Favorite roller by far. You can see why so many professionals recommend it. Spend the extra few dollars and grab this roller over others. Feels good in your half, it’s sturdy and rolls great

Works Great, very tight fit for Roller, no side Slipping.

Holds well and rolls well with the paint on the walls. It is a bit heavy and extended use may become tiring but I think good quality and price are the primary factors. It is easy to use and is the standard size.

Recently renovating my house and kept having trouble with the paint rollers I had bought at Lowe's, Everytime I painted the roller would come off. Such a pain!!!I found these and the roller stays on the whole time!!! It's amazing. Getting it off is a bit tough since I have to find something to hit it against so that it pops off but it's great for getting the job done. Don't waste your money on the other brands. Get this one. It comes in various sizes.

Speaking to the DIYers and us non-pro painters- this is the BEST roller handle you can buy! You know the part when you have to pull the roller off of the handle when you’re finished painting, how it’s always a big mess? Well, this handle allows the roller to slip on extremely easily and then it locks in just at the very end, so getting the roller cover off of this thing is a breeze. Sure you can spend a dollar or two less, but don’t lose the plot! Make your project easier! Thankfully we have Wooster brush, made here in America. Paint supplies made in America with exceptional quality, thoughtful design, and ease of use! Gold star for Wooster!

I would not say I am a professional painter but I do paint quite often and have a pretty good understanding of the tools used and having used many different roller frames in the past this one really surprised me with how well it works. Biggest issue for me with roller frames is they have to grip the roller cover so it does not shift in the frame but not grip it so well you can’t remove it when your done. Over the years I had experience with both of these conditions with roller frames and it makes for a frustrating experience. This roller frame has solved that issue for me as it walks the line well, gripping the cover during painting but not so much that a slight tug releases it from the frame when your done. Also the bearings are really smooth and the cage rolls well on the frame. Cleanup is very easy as well. Frame is a little on the heavy side but I actually prefer that as it does not flex when on the end of a long poll. Made in the USA is great as well. Wooster has a great product here and the price is really fair for what your getting. Highly recommend. If you found this review helpful please hit the helpful button below.

First a disclosure: I am not a professional painter (not even semi-pro). That being said, I wish that I'd purchased one of these a long time ago. As far as roller frames go, this product is the best I've come across.Roller covers slide on easily, stay on throughout the duration of the job, and pop off with minimal fuss, all thanks to the metal spring fingers near the closed end of the frame. The body of the roller is made of a hard plastic framework that (while a little cheap-looking) does a good job of supporting the roller cover and makes clean-up that much easier. Unlike the more expensive Purdy cageless roller frame the Wooster's open plastic frame doesn't have the unfortunate habit of collecting and storing dirty cleaning water. Bottom line: you can roll one color, eject the cover and clean the frame, pop on another cover and do another color in no time flat.There are a few very minor complaints I have, however. The handle doesn't have the same solid, grippy feel like the Purdy cageless model. The long-term survivability of the plastic frame is something I worry about, too. And my unit seems to have a tiny mouse living inside it that makes it go "squeak-squeak-squeak!" with each move I make.But those issues won't stop me from giving this tool a 5-star rating! It's a great go-to tool for anyone who needs to paint a room or three and is on a budget. Take good care of this Wooster and it'll serve you well for many years. Definitely recommended.
