Shur-Line 06100 Gallon Can Paint Pourer

It definitely helps with the exact pouring amount. Good investment for us painters.

Great product, easy to clean, but some cans have a wider opening, i.e. plastic cans, so need to hold it when pouring, but is non messy and easy to clean, unlike a rubber cap with a spout that goes on metal cans. Would buy again if needed. Must have to keep a paint can clean to reseal.

I have a spot that I had for years and decided to order another of the same type. The orange and blue big box stores no longer sell this type in the store so I ordered this Shur-Line 06100 from Amazon. To my surprise after placing the old and new spouts side by side I discovered they are the exact model and brand. Every curve, line, etc. matches. See photos 1 and 2. This review is for my use with latex and acrylic paint only. I avoid using oil paint when possible. Both the old and new have Made In the USA stamped in the exact same location. See photos 3 and 4. For whatever reason the new pour spout is not as snug as the old one even with old paint on the old one taken into account. One star is deducted for this. Before pouring each time make sure the spout is firmly seated on the can and it will work just fine. Use two hands on the can and don’t use the handle to pour. Some reviewers commented the spout will get in the way when carrying the can. I agree. Use two hands to carry the can, not by the handle. The alternative is to get a shorter spout. You won’t find a shorter spout the goes around the entire can rim at the big box store (at least in my area) so try Amazon. This spout cleans fairly easy. I use a plastic putty knife to scrape off any dried paint. If you really want to get the spout cleaner follow up with plain water and a green scrubbing pad. I’ve used my old Shur-Line for many, many DIY paint jobs and did not have a problem with dried paint flaking off after giving the spout a decent cleaning even if some paint remained on the spout. Just make sure all loose paint has been removed before starting a new job. Overall when all is said and done this spout works well for me, keeps paint out of the can grooves and makes pouring paint simple.

Works great. No messy paint cans.

Having read the reviews I know some people had leaks using this. I did not. I wanted to transfer some Behr deck stain from a gallon can to a quart can. This paint pourer fit my gallon can snugly and easy to insert. As. noted elsewhere you can't use the can's wire handle, but no problem carefully tilting can to pour. Didn't spill a drop. I immediately removed the pourer and rinsed it under running water and it was clean as new. It may be that all gallon cans are not the same exact size but it worked perfectly for me. Very pleased.

The product description claims that it fits any standard U.S. gallon or 4-liter can, but that’s simply not true. It did not fit any of my Behr 1-gallon paint cans, which completely defeats the purpose. I bought this to make pouring easier and less messy, but it was useless right out of the package. Very disappointed — misleading description and poor fit. Would not recommend.

Purchased to complement my 15-year-old spout. It actually seems slightly smaller than the older product, however, it will not seal on Sherwin-Williams cans without tape. The older product has a stiffer plastic, while this is softer and rubber-like. The other one snaps in the place and stays well, while this one popped off just by wiping the spout. BTW, the older one was made in USA. I like these spouts since there’s so much easier to clean up than the full can tops so I will continue to tape it down. Unless I find a different similar product and then this will be returned. I would not purchase again.

I have searched everywhere for these in the stores and haven't been able to find them. I was SO happy to find them on Amazon (I bought one at a paint store years ago and haven't been able to find them since.) Works great, I will not paint without one of these on my paint cans, it does a great job protecting the rim and sides of the can from becoming a mess. It fits nice and snug on every can I've used it on, I primarily use Pittsburgh paint, though have used it on other gallon paint cans of primer and outdoor paint and it's fit well on every can. The only downside to using this is once you have this on the paint can. you cannot use the paint can's handle because it will not swing up and over the can guard. For me this isn't a big deal because the benefits are worth it for me, but I think it's worth noting in case anyone is curious about that.

I don't get it, why is US-standard sold in the UK where it doesn't fit anything!? It is too large to fit 2.5l tins and too small to for 5l tins. I've not seen any US gallon tins in the UK!

Make sure it’s snapped in good. My paint cans stay clean now. Easy now to close the lids. Great if your using sand can over and over.

Excelente para no derramar pintura (que siempre me pasaba) cuando la vierte uno de una lata de 4 lts (1 galón). Fácil de usar y fácil ee limpiar, incluso si la pintura se secó, se puede remover después fácilmente.

You can't beat the price just OKAY price to high

Buy this if you want to get really really annoyed, it's a right pain to fit and once you've knocked the hell out f it to get it to fit it'll pop out all the flipping time. It's something else to clean once you've thrown it as far as you can, it isn't far as it's plastic. A better alternative is to drill holes in the recess of the tins and the paint drains away, I wish I'd seen that first. (on YouTube).
