8 Best Paint Rollers

BEST EXTENSION POLE KIT

6-Foot Paint Roller Kit

HOSKO

Includes three roller covers
Affordable price

Cannot be used with threaded rollers

Key Specs

Roller Length: 9 inches
Roller Cover: Microfiber
Extension Pole Compatibility: No

This Hosko roller kit includes a 6-foot extension pole, making it well-suited for extra large painting projects with hard-to-reach areas. The adjustable pole can also be customized to your preferred height, by simply removing sections until you reach your desired length.

If 6 feet is longer than you need, the handle is also available in a 4-foot version. One drawback to this kit is that the roller handle does not use a threaded connection to the pole, so you won’t be able to use a different roller if you lose or break this one.

It wouldn’t be practical for those who don’t have a big painting project coming up, but if you do, and you’re comfortable spending the money, this Wagner roller could save you a significant amount of time and energy.

Its electric motor pumps paint directly from the can to your roller, eliminating the need for time-consuming paint tray refills, allowing you to continuously roll without interruption. The threaded handle can be used with any extension pole, and thanks to the 16-foot paint hose, will be able to reach high walls and ceilings without issue.
