Sometimes renovations seem endless. There is always something that needs to be fixed or updated. Always a project and never enough room to make it work. I am always on the look out for help with making my life easier and run smoothly. This Roll & Stow does just that.
Painting is one of the top do-it-yourself projects in Canada – it’s inexpensive, making it ideal for budget-minded families, and fairly easy. But every paint project comes with some serious challenges including paint spills, the inconvenience of temporarily packing up paint supplies when you can’t finish a project in a single day and keeping paint tools organized and neat in a single storage place between paint jobs.
The new Canadian made Roll & Stow solves all these problems. No running back and forth to get what you need. Now everything can be in one spot and easily stowed for later.
First, moving trays of paint around a room can be a harrowing experience. Even with drop sheets and careful planning, lifting full paint trays or paint cans in rooms with carpets and hardwood floors can cause huge messes when spills occur. The new Canadian made Roll & Stow is a rolling work station that eliminates the need to pick up trays or other containers of paint. The Roll & Stow safely holds various sizes and models of paint trays and paint and stain cans. Just roll the Roll & Stow to the new work location; it effortlessly rolls on carpets, drop cloths and hard surfaces. And the tray will not roll away while loading paint onto a roller.
Second, busy DIY’ers often cannot complete a painting project in a single three or four hour time period. Many times projects take a few days to complete. During interruptions or breaks on the job, a lot of time is lost wrapping brushes and rollers, and returning paint to the container so that the tools and paint do not dry out. With its specially shaped engineered base, Roll & Stow easily transforms into a handy anti-drying storage unit with a secure lid that keeps paint, rollers and paint brushes from drying out—for up to one full week. When it’s time to resume painting, simply remove the lid and get back to work. By using the Roll & Stow, wasting paint that is washed out of brushes or poured out of trays is virtually eliminated, saving valuable dollars.
Last but not least, DIY’ers face the challenge of conveniently storing paint supplies between projects. With its locking lid system, paint tools and supplies can be stored in one compact unit that is easy to carry to the next painting project.
The Roll & Stow comes fully assembled and can carry up to 40 lbs (18 kg) of supplies and tools. In addition, up to 150 lbs (68 kg) of containers and objects can be transported using the base with its sturdy wheels. The product is also great for many chores around the house including washing the car, sealing driveways, pool maintenance and staining a deck.
Available at Home Hardware stores across Canada, as well as BMR and La Maison du Peintre with a retail price of approximately $47.99.
The Roll & Stow is made right here in Canada with heavy duty materials for all of your jobs. Lots of room to place everything you need to get the job done quick! Great for big cleaning jobs as well. With Spring around the corner I know many of you like to do a deep clean. Imagine being able to lug your cleaning supplies around with ease in one spot 🙂 This would be great! The picture above shows it open and the one below is closed.
I have found this to also be good for knitters and crafters. Keep your supplies in one place and easily store it for later if needed. The possibilities are endless. What project would you use this for?
