Yes, a standard threaded pole should fit. The purdy power lock poles, on the other hand, interlock with it, preventing it from loosening. They're also extremely well-balanced.
br>Use the handle from your standard broom by unscrewing it. The Purdy's coarse threads, as well as the threads on most rollers and broom handles, are universal. Alternatively, you could go to a hardware store and purchase a low-cost handle. Use your Purdy to try on the items you want to buy to make sure they fit.
In the lower left hand corner of the image, there is a small print that says "made in China." "Good cage, though; I've had mine for years; just make sure you have a sturdy pole so you can lock it with the lug." The threads will quickly become worn out.
Plastic is one of the most widely used materials It's made of metal, but it's lightweight and long-lasting. Because I am a painter, I use these exclusively in my work. It is held in place by two clips, but it continues to slip out. So I simply screwed it in place with two metal screws.
Selected User Reviews For Purdy 14A753018 Adjustable Paint Roller Frame, 12-Inch to 18-Inch
In March of 2018, I purchased this movable paint roller frame. Early in May of 2019, I wrote this review. I was very happy with the frame up until this week. Painting with 18" roller covers is one of my favorite things to do! However, this frame, like my recent Purdy 9" frames, was plagued by the same problem. br>br>In just over a year, the internal plastic threads connecting this frame to a pole have worn away. The frame shattered and landed in my Wideboy 5 gallon bucket after falling off the Purdy extension pole I was using. The entire frame, not just the 18" roller cover, went 'ploop!' 'I'm annoyed because, as an engineer, I'm aware of product design options. ' Rather than using an aluminum cast or another material, I believe Purdy chose to mold these threads out of a wearable plastic because they knew it would prompt a second purchase of a frame that would otherwise last much longer. This design decision is, in my opinion, irresponsible. It is wasteful in terms of the environment, and it strikes me as particularly greedy. I won't buy another, and I hope you won't either as a consumer.
Because the bars are square metal and do not flex as much as the others, this is the most sturdy and solid 18" roller available. Many people, however, were unhappy with the clumsy screw that held the bar in place. They're correct; it's not built to withstand daily use. However, I purchased mine with the explicit intent of modifying it. Remove the clumsy screw and drill a hole all the way through. Place a bolt in the hole.
I couldn't find any rollers that were 12" in diameter. I bought two of these to use in painting my house, and they are fantastic. I couldn't find any 12" rollers at Lowes (despite my best efforts). I used the 18" setting with the Purdy extension pole and it works great; you can roll a room in no time. One thing I noticed when I used the 18" roller with extension pole on any of the walls was that I never achieved complete coverage; there were always small areas where the old paint could be seen. Despite the fact that I am a novice painter, I'm sure that played a role. I believe that because it is such a large roller, it is difficult to apply the proper pressure across the entire roller in order to achieve the desired coverage. It's just something to think about.
At least, that's how it worked out for me. I couldn't use the frame at all. I also purchased Purdy rollers, but the frame would not allow them to roll freely. I tried everything, but they aren't as smooth as they should be. It was a pain to use, so I put it away and went back to using some old, cheap rollers to finish the job.
They Deserve a Spot in Your Painting Toolbox. I now primarily use these on rental house interior repaints where I am unable to use my airless sprayer. Not suitable for small spaces, but ideal for larger rooms, hallways, and so on. They'll last a long time if you clean them after each use.
This is an excellent cage. This book comes highly recommended. You may make use of 9- Sleeves are 18 inches long. Simply purchase or save the 18inch's included sleeve caps. With the 18-inch sleeve, ceilings were a breeze!.
Rollers cost a little more, but they're worth it. Where has this object been throughout my entire painting career? It's fantastic. Rollers are a little more expensive, but they're well worth it when you consider how much time they save. When it comes to painting ceilings, there are fewer lap marks. I have a fantastic pole extension, and I strongly advise you not to skimp on it.
I like these roller cages because they allow me to use various sizes of roller covers; however, I've started using 18" roller covers, which reduces the amount of time I spend rolling the walls and ceilings. To avoid stripes and picture framing, use an 18" roller cover when rolling dark or red colors on a large wall.
