It still takes a long time to clean the rollers, and I only used it on a brush once, and it didn't work well on that either.

One great thing is that both rollers and brushes are ready to use again as soon as you've got them spun out. Brushes do need to be shaped afterwards, though, 'cause they are all "broomed out" after spinning. This tool and some good roller extension handles seem to be among the most widely overlooked accessories by DIY'ers.

Then, if you have to dry them quickly for reuse all you have to do is alternately pat the broadsides on a rag or paper towel (or your forearm) and they will be dry enough to use in one minute.

Combined with this spinner and you will have a like-new roller cover every time you paint that will last years (without a lot of cleanup time either).

He brought one of these along and to me this is the best investment that you can make if you do any amount of painting. I have done a couple of side jobs painting family members houses and the first tool I went out and bought was one of these. It paid for itself on the first job. I found mine at the local Sherwin-Williams store for about $20-25. It is worth every cent of it. When I first bought my house, my brother helped me paint several of the rooms that needed TLC.
