So I am up to my eyeballs in painting a whole house.
Well best device I ever came across courtesy of Darren was the Wagner paint stick.
Well I been using my second one and had a leak from the one O ring type rubber seal on the roller.
So I hit the Borg thinking they may have parts...well who was I fooling. Duh.
What I found though that is worth sharing is a new mini version and I purchased one because there are places where the length of the normal one is awkward to deal with.
Here is a pick of the new mini version. There are two of them a 6 inch and I guess about 4 inch here is a link.

Its a bit messy to change over on this unit from sucking up paint to rollering but its still a huge time saver and does an incredible job.
On the downside, I had thought the rubber type seal would be a match for the big paint stick as they the same concept but not same size.
All that was because here in Canada I cannot get parts online unless I pay shipping charges that are exorbitant.
So set of O ring replacement parts is $2.99 and shipping over two weeks is $25 plus.
Made no sense.
Such is life this side of the border. Drives me nuts that no one carries the small stuff anymore. Could have shipped them to my Niagara address but with exchange rate lately have not been using it so not worth the drive. Oh well we can't have it all our way.
Back to painting.
