definitely nice format, i could imagine something like this every 4-5th vid even. Do prior research, work smart, not hard (or preferably both but mainly smart).
You’re personality definitely shines in this style of video. You and your passion for your trade is what made it interesting. Basically it was fun to watch.
Tragically watching from Canada, I went to check the prices on amazon and the two Wagner products were $80 and $480 - *FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!!* respectively. Sucks because I was really looking forward to trying out the smart flow one once my house I just bought closes in August!!! Honestly, I still might buy it because I'm the type of person who will change the paint colours on my walls a lot...might still be worth the investment, hahah. *moves to save for later section on amazon...* LOL.
Hello! Thank you for your interest in Wagner tools. Here is a link to the SMART Roller at Lowe's CA: www.lowes.ca/product/inner-fed-paint-rollers/wagner-smart-roller-670120 Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any questions
I like this format. I’m getting ready to paint our basement and this was very helpful. I like other people testing things so I don’t have to waste money or time. So, thanks!
definitely nice format, i could imagine something like this every 4-5th vid even. do prior research, work smart, not hard (or preferably both but mainly smart)
I have not had the pleasure of painting a wall yet, except a small (5x6) bathroom with very little actual wall to paint. But I am thinking about your review. Thank you for your testing ☺️.
Man, i've been alway from this chanel for i wile and regret it a lot! i'm binge watching this Cabin Renovation series and i'm really loving it! can't wait for more! love your content since i found it back in 2014 or 15.
I used the Wagner Smart Roller for several projects and found that even with back-rolling, I had lots of problems with the roller knap messing with the finish. It's a cool idea, but I abandoned mine a long time ago and returned to the paint tray. Haven't looked back.
I have about 4 of the Wagner roller your number two tool and I actually found them in the 99 cent store for 4 dollars! I love them just don't let someone stupid use it because they will not know what they are doing and bust it all to hell.
I was using something similar to the Wagner over 20 years ago. You filled a hollow tube with your paint and pushed gently whenever you wanted to add paint to the roller. I painted a lot of walls with that and still have one in my garage. Latex paint only. I think it was branded the EASY ROLLER but I don't have the original packaging anymore and any branding on the unit has long ago been worn off. It also came with a special paint can lid and suction wand to pull the paint into the hollow tube handle section. The final Wagner is something I'd love to use the next time I paint. Although I'd have liked to have seen you clean that one as I fear you'd lose a lot of paint in the tubing when cleanup time came. Does it have a suction setting to empty the paint in the tubing back into the supply container ?
I used what I think was the original back in the 1980s or 90s called the PaintStick. I always found cleanup a pain in the neck, though it had an attachment that attached to your faucet that would force water thru the roller, but I was not all that impressed. These days a simple roller and tray is easiest and cleans up quickest
You're videos are always great and inspiring. Can you make a DIY beginners kit that can kind of do the majority of home projects. Seeing the reviews you did is a solid video too. Keep at it ^_^
Enjoyed the video. Thanks. Might consider the Wagner deluxe, but have concerns. 1. The 5 gallon bucket. Can you put just one gallon into a spare bucket and go? 5 gallons of paint is a heck of a lot unless you're painting a lot of rooms the same or painting a gymnasium. 2. Clean up. 3. Paint usage. Paint is not cheap. 4. The paint in the hose. Does the hose always need to be full? That's a lot of extra paint, even if you can drain it back into the bucket when finished.
I actually enjoyed this video style. The only thing I will say is that you were generous with the amount of stars you gave the first product. The other ones were spot on though. The house is coming along great!
Great video! I live in Palm Springs so since following the JT renovation watching your channel grow and explore is really cool. Liked seeing new tools. I have a whole interior to paint next month and i may just go with that 100 dollar wagner set up Looks worth it! Thanks!
In Canada Ive never seen 1/4 roller in paint store.By default that is always 3/8 (10mm) for drywall walls. But as suggest by a painter I talked to, Im using 1/2 (13mm) most of the time, it is twice as fast to paint a wall and finish is still very smooth if you dont paint too heavy.So no needs for a fancy tool that can break. But still cool to see thoses gadgets! I would buy a airless sprayer for doors and furnitures, seems great to do a smooth job
1/4" is standard for a skim coat or "level 5 finish". the Lower the nap it, the less "roller texture" gets transferred to the wall. No point in doing a skim coat wall and then have a paint roller give in an orange peel look! here, 3/8" is standard for light texture and 3/4" is used on heavy texture and stucco
That was a fun video. Thank you for the honesty with the products. I think many people will find that useful. I like the paint roller toss and catch too. Haha that was a nice touch. Keep up the great work friend!
Imo, i don't think professional painters will use any of these 'automatic' paint rollers because they actually will make them work slower. If you're talking about automatic painting tools I'll only go with airless paint sprayers. Other then that a manual paint roller and a brush will always be my choice for painting walls...or anything for that matter...
I, on the other hand, build furnishing objects in metal and show all the processes behind an object. I hope in the future they can be appreciated more because I put a lot of effort into making them😁😁😁
I like what u did. I have a question, I'm a smoker and want to paint my walls n ceiling, Do u think I have to wash them down before I prime them or not?
Great video Mike. Just my 2 cents on the 2nd. Wagner roller (if there's someone you can reach out too) would be to add a spring or a small extension on the handle that would help flare the tube away from the wall when painting. Like a 45 angle bracket or something. I've heard that it becomes a bit of an issue, the tube rubbing against the painted wall. Other than that, that roller set up would give even a sprayer a run for it's money. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Nice video, I like the format. With the 2 Wagner ones I’d be concerned at how much paint was lost when cleaning. Can you dump the paint out before cleaning or is all the paint in the tube (the last one) lost to water for cleaning? How was it being tethered to your paint tin?
"Weak AF pump" lol, I love honest reviews! Edit ~ You gave the Wagner 5 stars and then said 4 stars when you rated the last one. Which did you land on?
Great video. I just wish you showed how to clean the side kick. Do you just run water through the machine while running? Just wondering for long term use.
Yes pretty much. It's kind of a pain. I was painting my house one color so it was really time efficient, but if I had to switch between colors, I'm sure it'd be a cross contamination nightmare.
In all tools (especially with the first and last) my first question is "how easy is it to clean or change colors?" In the case of all options. I'd honestly rather just throw my paint tray liner and roller away when they only cost $10 from home Depot to begin with.
both took about 5 minutes to clean, not a big deal! just run water through the pump to save to old paint in the hose. or fill the $25 with water to make sure the perforated roller holes aren't clogged
Very informative video MB. I liked that last paint tool that you used but how do you get all of the paint left in the tube/handle out when you are done painting? That has got to be a real PITA! 🤔🤔
Super easy, I just put the feed hose into a bucket of water and let it pump all the paint back into the 5 gallon bucket.. just make sure to shut it off before it starts filling the paint bucket with H2O 😜
A decent review of cheap and lower quality products... honestly a paint tray and a roller is better than any of these products. Maybe in the future examine tools from a company that makes better products like Graco or Tritan.
Pro painter here... After spending all that money on tape, plastic, masking paper and the tools it takes to paint effectively (not the crap he's using in this video, as I wouldn't touch anything from that list) you could have hired a pro painter and wrote one check. Plus, you get a warranty on the work. Yeah, you can DIY, but when you factor in the tools and materials plus your time, you're going to be right around what a legitimate pro would be charging you without the hassle of having to do it yourself. As I always say... "Let dentists be dentists, plumbers be plumbers and painters be painters."
Let me know what you think of this style video for different tools / gadgets!! This was fun to film, hopefully its fun to watch :)
definitely nice format, i could imagine something like this every 4-5th vid even. Do prior research, work smart, not hard (or preferably both but mainly smart).
It’s a really fun format and it did a great job like you said making the more boring task of painting interesting and engaging.
It is fun! Reminds me of Vasseur Beauty's budget vs bougie range. Love it
I Like it
It's really fun to see different tools, so do make more videos like this.
You’re personality definitely shines in this style of video. You and your passion for your trade is what made it interesting. Basically it was fun to watch.
Thanks Layana! 😁
Love the sidekick it’s a great system
I genuinely enjoyed this style of video. I’d be interested in seeing more of these. Good work.
Sweet!! It was fun to make too, If other opportunities like this pop up, I'll go for it :)
Good my friend I'm happy to watching your videos thank you
"I know I used two Wagner products, I don't care." The most honest comment ever! I just keep loving Modern Builds.
i really love your videos, you are the inspirate of building!
Like this style of video, it helps us average consumer that can’t buy all three or more items to use for home use/diy.

Now I know what to get for my next project. Thanks!
I like this format. I’m getting ready to paint our basement and this was very helpful. I like other people testing things so I don’t have to waste money or time. So, thanks!
I love this type of video. Thanks a lot
I liked this. Probably mainly because I’m getting ready to paint almost an entire house. But I like the sidekick!
While you do your commercial break, thank you for your honest review. Continued blessings.
2:19 cute reaction! 🤣😂😍🥰😘
definitely nice format, i could imagine something like this every 4-5th vid even. do prior research, work smart, not hard (or preferably both but mainly smart)
Personally liked it as an occasional episode every now and then. Quite entertaining to see the performance/results.
This video is going to save me so much time!
I feel like this is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Dipping a roller in paint is the easiest part of painting
... and the cleaning of these... omg.
For me, the Wagner Smart Roller won. Simple mechanism and no electronics needed.
Love this style of video!
Loved this type of video!
This is an awesome video idea!!
I have not had the pleasure of painting a wall yet, except a small (5x6) bathroom with very little actual wall to paint. But I am thinking about your review. Thank you for your testing ☺️.
💕Maybe Wagner should be sponsoring you as you’ve used two of there products💕
Destiny favers the bold! Keep doing what you do. I will keep coming back. -G

love your content since i found it back in 2014 or 15.
Awesome as always
THANK YOU
C'mon. Do a test with a dark paint colour. White on white background always looks good.
I almost skipped this video. Man am I glad I didn’t!!! Would love to see more tool reviews.
More videos like this! Testing out products!
Great video, I'mma go buy a sidekick,
I like the little one.
Interesting results. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
My idea for the house is to move your fridge to the corner near the big window (right),that makes big space for your kitchen

perhaps a different colour paint other than the wall colour so we can see what's goin' on!
Since my name is Wagner it cracked me up when you said it was a name we could trust, looks like a handy tool. very helpful review
Its great you used white on white....
3rd one is the best
Nice one! I nearly skipped this one - but glad I didn't!

I think Wagner Makes something similar now! Basically the smart roller without the trigger!
@@ModernBuilds It's called Paint N' Roll and it's in the same Amazon link for the SMART Roller.
I used what I think was the original back in the 1980s or 90s called the PaintStick. I always found cleanup a pain in the neck, though it had an attachment that attached to your faucet that would force water thru the roller, but I was not all that impressed.

YOU ARE GOOD AND FUNNY
Can you tell us how hard they were to clean?
Do you think if you covered the paint bucket with plastic wrap you would avoid the “skin” on it?
My paint stick exploded, and since under pressure it was spraying everywhere! 🤣
I've been using the Wagner for years. I'm not tall but I've managed to paint the 8 foot ceiling standing on the floor no ladder.
Nice video but would probably be better if you were painting colors, it was a little hard to see the tools work because of white on white
Looks so much more harder then the Traditional way
That title lol!!!!
Totally enjoyed this video, I bought a paint sprayer not long ago now I'm wishing I didn't. Stay safe
Great video! I live in Palm Springs so since following the JT renovation watching your channel grow and explore is really cool. Liked seeing new tools. I have a whole interior to paint next month and i may just go with that 100 dollar wagner set up Looks worth it! Thanks!

Next: Changing colors for a gradient.
review i love all the videos would like to see you team up with Modustrial Maker on youtube
"Weak AF pump" lol, I love honest reviews!
Edit ~ You gave the Wagner 5 stars and then said 4 stars when you rated the last one. Which did you land on?
I liked the video another great job
Thanks Shawn!
Why use white paint on white wall for demosnstration?
Wagner don't get mad? Why a brand would get mad if they are receiving positive and true feedback?
I liket
I wish you had painted on a different color wall so we could see the coverage...
Hey Mike, I like this style of video, however, I really wish that you had reviewed the ease of cleanup for all of the products.
Were you getting paint on your internet modem?

It would help a lot if you used a different color to show how it coats the wall. White on white doesn't seem to show that.
Whats painging?
Have you never painged a wall before? 😉
We have also never made a typo in our entire lives.
lol the video title is now "painting" but the notification is still "painging"
Imagine if you have 14 foot walls. That last one would bring me intense joy! You have to reload constantly. Also 100$ isn’t that much really.
Exactly what I was thinking!! Smartroller for 1 room Sidekick for a whole house!!

Get a non Wagner roller cover. Other companies makes perforated roller.
Or else why not get regular rollers, and drill a few holes in them.
I just wish we can see color

You should do a video how you do your laundry. How is it u have clean jeans every video when the last video i see u jack up ur jeans real bad
You are going to end up with a seriously bad back with those two wagners
It would have been better if you used a different color so we could see it better
Agreed :)
too bad the poles are way to small
It’s not for me…nothing wrong with a Wooster roller pole with a Wooster sleeve. These pumping paint rollers are no good in my opinion

Hard to tell how it paints since it's white on white smh lol
