Q:Can you use these to hold cabinet doors to paint them?

    A:  I have used these to paint cabinet doors. I recommend painting the inside of door first, in case the tips leave any marks at all.

    A:  I am doing exactly that. I have 36 kitchen cabinet doors and 7 drawer fronts I need to repaint. I found that by placing my door location label in the middle of the back side of the center panel, I can paint the back side of the door frame (the stiles & rails) and immediately flip the door over the paint the face & edges of the door. I plan the paint the inside center panel (where I placed the location labels) after the doors are reinstalled on the newly painted cabinet frames with chalkboard paint to list what is in each cabinet, or to keep a list of items that need replaced on my next shopping trip.

    A:  Yes, you can place the cabinet door down on the tripods with a tripod in each corner of the door.

      Q:What is the weight rating of these tripods?

      Answer This Question

      A:  The tripods are rated at nearly 100lbs. That being said that doesn't necessarily mean, 4 together can support 400lbs. Hope that helps!

        A:  I haven't tried to put anything heavier than a composite interior door on them to paint. I also used about 8 or 10 points for the door. For the kitchen cabinet doors I am currently painting, I only need 4 points, mostly for balance stability. I always paint the back side of the door first. Since I am not painting the reverse side of the inset panel at this time, I can immediately flip my cabinet door over, making sure that the points are all touching the back of the recessed door panel. That also happens to be where the label to replace the door on the correct cabinet is located. I can proceed to paint the face & edge of the cabinet door without needing to stop. Between painting the backs & fronts. I bought several packs of points so I had enough to do 4 doors at a time. By the time I finish the last one in the batch, the first is dry enough to remove from the points and sit to cure the paint. Now I can start the loop again with doors 5 thru 8, then doors 9 thru 12. I have very little time that is wasted. With 36 doors to paint, these points have been invaluable.

        Q:What is the minimum manufacture age on the product?

        Answer This Question

        A:  This tool is designed to assist in applying finishes to objects that need to be set on these tri-pods to help you get 100% coverage. The manufacturer makes no age claim and leaves the user's discretion what is appropriate.

          Answer This Question

          A:  The point are close to 3 inches apart when the points are set up with 2 sides touching.

          by|Aug 20, 2019

          A:  Connecting two tripods together using the integrated pin and hole mechanism will provide the closest spacing of the points, which is 1.5” apart.

            I recently purchased a set of painters pyramids from a different store and really liked them.  Unfortunately, my wife gave me a project that required more than ten pyramids so I got these to ensure I could complete the task.  This product is very useful.  I've used them to support painting and staining projects with successful results on both.  While not required for most applications, the ability to screw them into a board allows them to be configured securely to support sensitive projects.  The top edge of the pyramid is small enough that even with wet paint it doesn't really leave a noticeable mark, making them ideal.  They are relatively sturdy and support a decent amount of weight.  They also store securely by nesting them together and clean up very easily.  I've removed paint and stain from them without issue--although this is an added step I'm sure is completely unnecessary. My only criticism is that the way the legs are created is a bit flimsy and I'm not a big fan of the curvature from leg to tip.  There are other versions home depot used to sell with a solid base which I preferred over this one. That said; however, they are fairly priced and quite handy to have so I don't regret the purchase.

            Easy to use
            These tripods or points effectively raise your project enough above your work surface that you can easily paint the top and edges without getting paint on the surface itself. The project can then be flipped and placed back on the tripods with the wet surface down. The tripods only have a small pointy tip that leaves little to no mark on the last undersurface when dry. The tripods are very stable but lightweight and can be arranged into any necessary configuration or space. Two out of the three legs can also be nailed down for further stability if needed. Great product.

            Nice painter's points
            Painter's points are a pretty simple product that I have used over the years in my spray booth, I have even made my own in a pinch but the manufacturer of these ones made some nice improvements over any that I have owned in the past. First they are a nice height, taller than others. They are very stable and they even have holes in the bases so that you can fasten them down to the work surface. They can be connected together with a pin and hole if that helps your project.

            Handy Little Helpers
            These Painter's Tripods are very handy for helping with painting projects. They raise your project about 2" above your work table. This enables you to paint or spray the flat surface and all four edges easily. With most applications, you are able to paint a flat side, reverse while wet and paint the other flat side (if needed). The pointed ends of the tripods usually leave a slight or no long term mark in the paint. These tripods are about 2" leg to leg and all 10 nest together for a height of 4". Very easy to store. The tripods can be snapped together, leg to leg for different needs. The only reason I gave this product a rating of 4 is because the legs are a little flimsy compared to other painter tripods I have used.

            Super hand to have around - these allow me to paint or stain the backside of projects, lay them on these and then paint the front. I used these for cabinet doors, frames, etc. They work great, stack and store neatly, and allow me to be more efficient.

            I bought several packages of painter's points. I have 36 cabinet doors to prime and paint. By using the HDX Painter's Points, I can paint the inside door frame of a cabinet door then immediately flip the door over to paint the outside of the door frame & inset panel without needing to sit and watch the paint dry. The painter's points have really speeded the process of repainting my kitchen cabinet doors. Plus, I have no worries about paint drips running on the edges of the frame and puddling on the work-table and gluing the door to the table. I also really like the arch at the bottom edge of the tripod point. It makes it easy to pick up the point from the table without getting tacky paint everywhere. I do recommend washing these plastic pyramids after your project to prevent the buildup of old paint. Which always the reason I needed to replace my previous set.

            The sharp tops of these tend to scratch anything but the hardest woods. Hard to use these for anything but post-painting drying.
