MARSHALLTOWN Paint And Wallcovering Seam Roller, 2 Inch flat Solid Rubber Installation Tool, Made in the USA, E54D

Works as advertised.

I had this tool before and it's very durable

I bought this to roll FixIt Tape when applying it on a textured surface and to add such a roller to my tools. The roller performed perfectly. I wanted a roller that would allow me to apply considerable pressure. Many similar rollers, appropriately referred to as J Rollers because the handle and roller shaft appear similar to the letter J, are supported on only one end; therefore, unless they are extremely sturdily built (and priced accordingly), attempting to apply firm , even pressure is not possible and often bends or breaks the roller. I don't intend to use the roller frequently; if I did I would want it to have excellent bearings in the rollers shaft, and the resultant roller would cost much more.. This roller turns smoothly enough for applying and smoothing tapes, banding, and narrow laminates, but I do not consider it a craftman-level tool. By the way, FixIt Tape is a great product; it is sealing two starred cracks in a shower pan until the shower can be replaced; I rolled the tape to help affix it tightly on the no-slip pebbled surface.

So far it has worked for me. I work maintenance, and I have used it mainly for formica tops that come loose, or shelving edges. It compresses just a small amount. An amount that I think works well for what I use it for. Just so I don't have to remain exactly parallel to the project. I have used it maybe 6-8 times. So far it doesn't seem to be coming apart.

Used this to even out seams Worked well

Built well, but.....The axel that the roller sits on extends past the metal sides a bit. This scratches anything that rubs against the sides.When rolling next to a wall, banister or anything the roller pin scratches or gauges. The sided should be solid on the outside and noting sticking out, maybe even plastic coated to protect nearing surfaces.Need to be careful when rolling up against anything, as I found out when I scraped my newly finished wood stairs.The only part that is poorly designed.Handle could be an inch longer...

This is a nice, heavy-duty rubber roller. We use it for rolling banner seams that have been taped or glued together.Our first roller lasted 16 months. My only complaint is that the pin - the actual roller mechanism - is probably thinner than it should be. After 16 months of use, the pin on our roller wore down so thin that it broke.The value is still good, and I purchased this same roller again as a replacement. I'll probably try to occasionally oil the pin this time in the hope that it will last longer.EDIT: I just received the new roller today, and the rolling mechanism has been redesigned. I don't see any possibility now that the pins would ever wear out. I'm updating my review to 5 stars, as this company obviously pays attention to user feedback and improves any weak points in their products.

Used this on my RV roof to roll the bubbles out of sealing tape I applied to all seams on the roof. Very comfortable to use and does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Very expensive

This product worked way better than a cheap plastic one I bought previously. This one works much better. It’s well worth the extra cost.

Hubieran sido 5 estrellas pero en ocasiones se pone un poco duro el rodillo, en general cumple su función.
