Are all corner rollers created equal?
I've been using the same corner roller for years.
Just wondering if one is better than the others. |

Re: Are all corner rollers created equal?
Mine is made by Precision Tools and is a little beat up. What I don't like about it is the skinny handle.
I've noticed that some have a split wheel design. I wonder if they are better than the solid wheels. |

Re: Are all corner rollers created equal?
I like the solid wheel principal like what's on Blueline and DM. I have a Blueline and the only thing about it is that it doesn't feel as balanced as the split wheel design. The old roller I had I could flip to the next angle when I hit the 3 way with ease. It took a little time to get used to the Blueline and still I get hung up with the pivoting piece flopping down. Ah well. I believe the solid wheels give the sharpest corners.

Re: Are all corner rollers created equal?
The split wheel roller has to be maintained the wheels need attention, if they loosen up or wear to much they won't set the tape properly. I thought split wheel left more mud on the tape making flushing easier?

Blueline will out last and maintain a sharper corner then most from what I have experienced. I little heavier but works well.
