Wooster Brand rollers and extension poles are very popular among professional painters for the quick connect and quick release locking system. The Sherlock extension poles and rollers are strong and use a tab lock which prevents the roller from twisting or loosening off. The rollers can be used on any extension pole - threaded or Wooster tab locking. The conversion kit (sold separately) allows the extension poles to accept any type of roller.
The pricing on these Wooster roller frames is as good as you can find anywhere - take advantage of the convenience of Internet shopping.
Paint Rollers and Extension Poles
The most common method of applying paint to large areas is with the paint roller. According to Wikipedia, the paint roller was invented by Norman Breakey in 1940 (1). Today there are roller cages that are of various sizes and shapes. Common roller sizes are 4", 7", 9" and 18". Rollers come in a wider "jumbo" and standard widths. There are "mini" rollers available for small areas which are of the "pencil" thin variety for getting in behind tight areas, or a wider versions which hold more paint than the pencil version.
The companion of the paint roller is the extension pole. Paint extension poles come with different locking mechanisms ( see Paint Extension Poles ). There are now different methods for holding the paint roller onto the pole. The Sherlock extension pole made by Wooster uses a tab lock to hold the their roller cages in place. If you wish to use a threaded roller handle with the Sherlock pole you need to use the conversion adapter kit with the roller cage and extension pole.
