Black & Decker’s RapidRoller is a new paint roller that features an interesting paint-filling system to help users spend more time painting and less time at a roller tray. Its pivoting roller can be used straight, at 80°, or at 40°, for maximum coverage and comfort when painting different surfaces and tricky edges.
Black & Decker claims that the RapidRoller can be used with less mess and hassle compared to a traditional roller, and for the most part, it looks like they’re right. Paint is drawn up directly from a paint can and into the hollow stem, and is then squeezed through the perforated roller to coat its surface. Paint is then applied to a wall or ceiling as with an ordinary roller.

I’ve used the Wagner Paint-Mate before with good results. Only downside is the clean-up, which can be a real mess. Eventually the guts get kind of gunky even with a good clean-up, and you end up scrapping the tool. However, I do like them if you have a full-day of painting ahead of you – as they do keep down the mess considerably.

I would love to use this roller to paint my entire house. It seems like it would really save a lot of time and looks like a quality product.

My wife will be happy that I can paint without complaining too much ;).
