ManualsBrandsWooster Pro ManualsPaint18 in. x 1-1/4 in. High-Density Knit Roller

GT Insert

Black collar in the Sherlock frame grip and many

other Wooster professional tools. Has threads for

standard extension poles, plus eliminates

twisting when used with Sherlock GT

poles.

It’s the world’s best-selling professional frame, so you should know and understand the

features that have made it that way.

SHERLOCK

FRAME

Cage

Made of ﬁberglass-reinforced nylon, it’s very

durable and provides total support to maintain a

round cover. The cage has minimal side-to-side

movement for better control to paint a clean,

straight edge and get very close to corners.

Engineer’s Tip from Wooster

Occasionally the Sherlock frame can develop a “squeak” while rolling. It may be caused by

going from wet paint to dry conditions, or from storage in cold or dry climates. You can

eliminate the squeak by hydrating the bearings! Simply put the frame into a bucket of clean

water, making sure the entire cage is submerged. After a few minutes, shake the excess

water off of the frame, install the cover, and enjoy squeak-free professional performance.

Retaining Ring

Securely locks the roller on the cage,

so it won’t slip or fall off during

painting. When the job is done, it allows

the roller to release “hands free” with

a soft rap on the edge of a paint

bucket or trash can.

Bearings

Provide super-smooth

rolling action and

eliminate potential gray

streaking, by keeping

the moving cage off of

the chromed shank.

Shank “Sweet Spot”

To remove the roller cover, rap the frame in the 90° bend.

This part of the shank has been elongated to make it an

easier target to hit.

What to Look For in a Roller Frame

Cage

Traditionally, a wire and endcap

assembly that supports the

roller cover and spins smoothly.

Shank

Sturdy chrome-plated 5/16”

wire that connects the

functioning cage to the grip.

Threads

Allow the roller frame to be

attached to an extension

pole for ease of use.

Cage Wire

High-quality, conventional

frames have ﬁve or more

wires to help the roller

sleeve keep its shape.

Grip

Handle of the

roller frame,

usually made of

polypropylene.

Should be a

comfortable size

to ﬁt the hand.

A roller frame that drags or sticks is a major frustration. No one should have to tolerate it.

To make the job go faster and the coverage better, spend a few dollars more for a frame

that spins smoothly.

Endcap

Made of nylon or plastic,

the endcaps hold the cage

wires and act as bearings

while rolling.
