I’ve been using the Big Ben roller head now daily on jobs and it’s been fantastic. The only thing you might experience after years of use however is that the legs/pins that you pinch to release eventually lose there strength. I found this out the hard way when yesterday on a job my roller sleeve kept falling out of the frame 😂. This is very minor as you can buy replacement legs as you already had the common sense to do 😂. But seeing how this roller head retails at only around £15-20 simply having to replace the legs every few years is no worries at all. This is a fantastic piece of kit 👍
I got this arm for a huge night club ceiling about a year ago, its still going strong no problems with the pins. I use for most ceilings, mint bit of kit 👌
Ive been using a big Ben roller frame for last 12 months. I got 2. The picssso sleeve I started using last week as u done a review on them in one of yours videos. Good products 👍
It's the masking and cleaning up that does it for me. I've got the GX21 but hardly use it. I probably will when I start to feel it getting harder to do big ceilings as I'm nearly the big 50 next year lol
I’m looking to changing my arrowworthy 18in roller cage, to either the 18in Wooster Big Ben or Hulk cage. What’s your honest opinion on the better cage out of the 2?
Well I would say Big Ben as it stops the rust and sludge marks that end up on a ceiling once dried which is a massive issue for me as I always bag up a white roller and use it over and over again without cleaning it. The good thing about the Hulk is the adjustable arm so you can use different size sleeves but if your talking 18inch then Bid Ben all the way. They also sell replacement ends for it aswell
@@petra2885 Honestly, they rinse out like new. Whether I’ve been doing a white wash room and keep them in bags for a week, or washed out each time after using a colour, they wash out easy, and roll perfectly next time I need to use them. And most importantly for me, is the finish they left, whether 4in, 9in or the 21in, for me their the best. I used to use the chunky Hamilton perfection sleeves a lot, especially on my woodwork. Then I used the 10mm two fussy blokes, (there’s a 5mm one aswell, amazing on cabinets, like a spray finish) and the sleeves last, and honestly, to date never had a bit of lint come off one. Give them a try.

Excellent demo of this really impressive looking roller setup. Thanks for taking the time to share your professional experience, and advice.
Thankyou so much for your kind words. Much appreciated

Nice to know that mate. Gives me confidence to keep with it. Cheers Dan
Wooster used to do a Little Ben 12 inch cracking Roller but it's been discontinued, glad i kept mine .😉
They should bring it back mate. Never heard of that

Cheers buddy much appreciated 👍🏻
Airless sprayer everytime for me, especially on new plaster large ceilings

I would have used the purdy dule roll off bucket that's best with the big ben roller.
Cheers for the info mate 👍🏻
Great video and great information
@@wemcal nice one 👍🏻

Been using Big Ben for ceilings for about 4 or 5 years Dan , no problems whatsoever. Whoever breaks one of these doesn't know how to roll properly.
Cheers mate Nice one 👍🏻
Where's best places to get all top brand p&d materials...brushes, rollers etc. Walk in stores or online?
Online. Either MyPaintbrush or Top Decorating Supplies
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 thanks, are the 3/4 inch nap picasso rollers ok for smooth interior walls or only for interior textured
Tried them Big Ben frames pile crap both the ones I had broke on the lugs so gave up on them
That's handy to know.
Nice one Arms would be Tired at the end of the day
Very lol
Good video. Thank you
Bn video..en mi pais las pinturas son porquerias
Next time, try the two fussy bloke sleeves. Trust me, I don’t use anything else, and not found a better finish from a sleeve using them.
Will have a look at them. Cheers for the tip. Dan.
@@petra2885 True mate. Even when you think you've got all the paint out they dry up like a corn on the cob lol
