Professional Brush & Roller Spinner

The plunger has a spiral shaft that creates the rotation when it is moved up and down. Thanks,

Not unless they are standard core rollers. This tool will not work with what is commonly called "mini rollers", with a much smaller core. Thanks,

Brushes - insert the handle thru both the outside and inside clamps, so that it is held securely. Then pump the handle on the other end to spin the cylinder. Rollers - slide the roller cover over the outside clamp, so that it is held securely. Proceed as before to spin the cylinder.

It can be difficult. The solid end of the brush gets pushed up into what I call the metal tongs which seperate when it's pushed up and and slides into the smaller holder. Once inserted, you pull the handle and spin the brush. It works really well once you can get the handle of the brush inserted. I also use a five gallon bucket to control the spray as you spin it.

You slide the handle of the brush between the front prongs and into the slot closest to the body

Did it get wet? The internals cannot get wet as it'll rust.

I was fortunate in never encountering such a problem. To clean the entire assembly, I would use WD40. Instead of using the usual spray bottles, I use the 1 gallon WD40. It is less expensive than the spray bottles, it is large, thus not as easily mislaid as the spray containers. This is not a lubricant, thus the use of light oil, sparingly, applied to the "twisted shaft" of the paintbrush/paintroller mechanism keeps it lubricated. If you store it wrapped up in a piece of cloth, it will not cause further aggravation.

You should be able to put petroleum jelly on the shaft to assist. I never have had that problem though. I have never immersed the entire thing in water only the brush or the roller.

Unfortunately the inner case is sealed but please reach out to us at linzerthd@linzerproducts.com so we can help you out directly. Thanks,

You will need to remove the excess paint first. It also is used to spin the roller to remove excess water after cleaning off latex paint. Mike

No. The best way of cleaning latex paint is by washing the brush well under running water, thus getting most of the paint removed. The real beauty and brilliance of this simple paintbrush spinner is utilizing the centrifugal force with the spinning, which removes most of the remnant paint which always hides at the base of the brush (near the metal piece). Then I use a bucket of clean water to further clean the brush by immersing, removing and spinning a few times.. Incidentally, to collect the runoff from the brush I would use a 5 gallon (empty) bucket. Even better, put a liner in your trashcan with a 30 gallon (or larger) liner. The small amount of water will quickly dry and your trashcan is ready for use! I have brushes over 50 years old, perfectly usable.

Yes. Recommend you do it outside. You'll need several water changes and leave your paint clothes on.

I usually use it to dry the brush and roller, but yes. Just do not immerse the entire device in water.

I have used mine for both!

I have no idea as to what you are doing. Did you unlock the pump handle ? It is a pretty straight forward tool.

It has a lock on it.

I suspect your difficulty arises from the two methods you can use to "lock" the spinner after you finish spinning. The first one is obvious: there is a plastic locking piece which does not allow the spinner to move. This piece needs to be removed. The second lock is less obvious: the spinning part is locked to the main "tube" by clicking the spinner handle clockwise, releasing the spiral piece, which spins when pulled out of the "tube" and then pushed in rapidly. Do not forget that this spinner works like a dream to clean paint rollers. Beware of two pitfalls: 1., Do not let the paint dry, spin it with water if you use acrylic or latex paint, and 2., spin it in a garbage can, thereby avoiding paint on your clothes.

Hold the tube with one hand, grasp the handle with the other hand. Now twist the handle slightly to dis engage the locking clip and pull back on the handle to extend it. Now push the handle back into the tube- the brush should spin. Pull back the handle again and push it back in again. Repeat as needed. The brush only spins on the push stroke and the faster you pull/ push then the faster it spins

I wish I could help but I had the same problem. I think it’s an inferior product. Great concept and my professional painter has an old spinner, different manufacturer, that works great.
