HomeRight C800060 5-Piece Paint Stick Kit

by HomeRight

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The HomeRight 5-piece paint stick kit takes paint directly from the paint can and feeds it to the roller, eliminating the need for spill-prone paint trays. The paint stick holds approximately 18-ounces of paint, and one fill will cover an 8-by-8-foot area (each gallon of paint contributes about seven fills of the paint stick). An included splatter shield keeps paint from splattering over you and the floor, and the paint stick weighs only 2-1/4-pounds when full, making it efficient and easy to use.

What's in the Box
Paint stick with 3/8-inch roller cover, splatter shield, and a can cover with fill tube.

Amazon.com Product Description

There isn't a single one among us who hasn't paused while painting with a roller, looked at the spills accumulating around the paint tray, and thought, "There must be a better way." Fortunately, HomeRight put its thinking caps to good use and developed the PaintStick. Borrowing from the time-tested technology of the fountain pen, the PaintStick takes paint directly from the paint can and feeds it to the roller, eliminating the need for spill-happy trays. The PaintStick holds approximately 18 ounces of paint, and one fill will cover an 8-by-8-foot area (each gallon of paint contributes about seven fills of the PaintStick). Use the included Spatter Shield to keep paint from splattering over you and the floor. The PaintStick--which weighs only 2-1/4 pounds when full--even extends from floor to ceiling without a ladder, making it efficient and easy to use. This five-piece kit includes a PaintStick with 3/8-inch roller cover, the Spatter Shield, and a can cover with fill tube.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast & Easy, November 5, 2003

This review is from: HomeRight C800060 5-Piece Paint Stick Kit (Misc.)

When it comes to painting, I don't have a lot of patience especially if the room is large. I bought this paintstick on a recommendation, but I did have my doubts. After I taped off the room and cut in the corners, I was ready to use my new paintstick. The instructions for putting it together were a bit confusing but by looking at the picture on the box, I had it put together in a few minutes. All you do is flip the lever to 'fill' and pull back the plunger and the paintstick is filled with paint. In a 12 x 12 room, I had the first coat on in about 10 minutes.. if that. The best part is that there's no mess. I don't know how well it would work in a small room such as a powder room but I am recommending this thing to everyone!
I would have given it five stars but cleaning this paintstick is kind of a pain. When you're cleaning it, make sure you're doing it in a room that you don't mind getting messy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paintstick works - but clean-up takes 25 minutes, December 25, 2003

If you're painting more than one room with the same color, then get the paintstick. It really works. I was able to paint one coat in a 12x15 living room in less than an hour. The paint shield is great, I no longer get dots of paint on my face. The best part is using the paint stick for ceiling - since all our rooms had the same ceiling color, I was able to use the same paintstick for the entire 2900sqft home.

All in all, we used 4 regular size paintsticks for our walls & ceilings, and 1 mini-size (Low_es and Sea_rs have them) for the closets.

The only bad part is the cleanup. You should follow the instructions in their booklet because their methods are the easiest ways to cleanup. I was able to clean one stick in 25 minutes. So even though the painting saves a lot of time, the need to cleanup eats into that saving.

Tips:
1) Continuously squeeze the paint out so that the roller is always wet - this way it's easier to glide across the walls and saves some work for your arms.
2) The kit works with 1 gallon cans. So if you buy those big 5 gallon cans of paint, make sure you ask the paint dealer for an empty 1 gallon can to pour the paint.
3) It's helpful to have a water hose to shoot water into the tube for cleanup. You can use those kitchen faucets that can extend out, or you can use your shower (that makes a mess).

I have an older model that I purchased about 6 years ago. They have improved the foam core in the roller now which makes cleaning easier. It is easy to clean. I hate cleaning paint brushes and this is so simple. With the accessories, this makes a paint job so easy I enjoy painting. I can't wait to get the Stain Stick to do my deck and my hardwood floors. I use the Quick Stick to cut in around windows and doors. It works great
