LEVEL5 12" Drywall Compound Roller | 4-906

I’m really happy with the results and labor saving’s this product achieves. The only problem is that it seems to shed some of the roller material the first few times using it but there’s a painter’s trick for that.

Best of the best and works well

I was surprised at how much I liked this roller. It rolled smooth, there were a couple of nylon fuzzies I had to pick out (but honestly, I expected a little bit of that), and an overall great product. My only comment (and the reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5) was that the threading that attaches to an extension pole stripped the second time I used it. I was super careful not to over tighten and it still pulled out. Funny enough, I initially really liked the design of the extension pole threading. It’s set deeper inside the handle which is a smart design move. I was going to give it a 5 star review, but have to bump it down a star because it stripped so easily. All that said, I’d buy it again, but I’m going to look for some sort of female adapter so I can use it with an extension pole.

Once you get the hang of it. You can do light or a heavier texture which gives a different look. I was going over old manufactured wall board. I would practice before you start a large area. I will try to update with pictures. Take a while to get clean as it hold a lot. I found putting my mud on wall with spatula first than you can control the thickness worked much better than trying to roll it in a pan first, it splatered a lot more mud and it was harder to control the consistency in my texture.

Used these for several jobs- they hold compound extremely well and evenly distribute on surfaces. The level 5 gear truly does make mudding a breeze. If you are experienced with taping, mudding, etc- you can’t go wrong with purchasing the roller, skimming blades, etc. they truly knock hours off of jobs and make finishing drywall work a breeze. Highly recommended.

The threads on the inside of the handle were extremely cheap and of course stripped out on our first job. I would recommend anyone wanting this roller to put it on a different frame. Dont waste your money on this overpriced cheaply made one.

I have always associated Level 5 with quality products. This roller doesn’t measure up. Pro: It does a great job of getting mud on the wall. Con: (and it’s a big one) it sheds curly threads of black plastic into the mud you’re applying to the wall. The time it takes to remove these from the wall and repair the spot negates the use of the roller.

This made such a difference in muddling!

Works perfect, so helpful.

Another Great tool by Level 5

My only complaint is some of the brissells would come off while rolling and the handle doesn't allow for a pole to attach

The idea is great but the rollar is very bad. It leaves little black hairs all over your work causing you to have to redo everything. The manufacturer should be responsible for the extra time and materials to remove it all and redo it.

Works okay but only fits this roller and small plastic black hairs comes off if as you roll compound. So it ends up messing you up on your passes
