Novel paint roller
The programme of tools available from L’Outil Parfait now includes a new “Clip” system roller and accessories. The company claims that the special fabric used for the paint rollers guarantees top-quality results and increased surface coverage. This innovative addition features a guide cone, a cap with emptying system and a “Clip” locking ring. A reservoir of paint is created by virtue of the fact that the fabric liner is not attached to the body of the roller.
