Questions First-Time Painters Ask
What's the difference between this and the Pro version?
Same core mechanism, lighter-duty build. This version is designed for home and occasional DIY use; the TopStop Professional is built for frequent, heavy-duty use.
Do I still need painter's tape if I use this?
No, that's the point. It replaces the need to tape off ceilings, so you save the time spent applying and removing tape.
I've never used anything like this before is it hard to figure out?
Not at all. Roller Watchdog installs with a basic screwdriver in a couple of minutes, and comes with a printed guide, no painting experience required.
Will this actually fit the roller I already have?
Yes, it fits standard roller frames, so there's no need to buy a new roller or frame just to use it.
