Hyde Flexi-Frame Roller Frame #shorts Hyde Tools 2023-06-09 | hydetools.com | Not much has changed with paint roller frames over the decades.

Purchase online: hydestore.com/products/47412?_pos=2&_sid=139dcd5cf&_ss=rWith 2 attachment points -- one at either end of the roller -- "walk-off" is now a thing of the past.

And because both sides of the Flexi-Frame have a slim connector arm, that leaves about a half inch of space between the edge of the actual roller and the wall, you can paint right up against an opposite wall or ceiling without worrying about accidentally getting paint on the other side; and because you can get so close, you don’t have to make your cut-ins as wide, saving you time. Lastly, at the end of the job, you can remove the roller without having to touch the roller.The Flexi-Frame comes in 2 sizes: 9" and 18” version (18" version is Tool No. 47420). The 18" of course helps you get big paint jobs done quicker, but it also has one added feature: it can be adjusted to a 30-degree angle for painting floors and ceilings.

How to use a heavy duty floor scraper. | Hyde Tools Hyde Tools 2023-01-24 | hydetools.com | The Hyde Floor Scraper (Tool No. 19450) is a heavy duty, long-handled scraper designed for tough flooring removal jobs -- everything from tile, to linoleum, and even paint or carpet glue on concrete.The Floor Scraper comes with a 4-inch blade already installed, but you can also separately purchase a 6-inch blade, as well as replacement 4-inch blades.It also comes in 3 lengths: 54” (Tool No. 19450) and 48" (Tool No. 19450), which have nice long handles so you don’t have to bend or stoop so much when scraping a floor, and 18" (Tool No. 19430) if you need to get into tight spaces like underneath counters or in closets.You’ll notice that your blade has a ground, or beveled, edge. There’s actually a right and wrong way to install the blade, depending on the makeup of the subfloor you’re scraping. If you’re scraping on a soft subfloor, like wood, you want the beveled edge facing down. This prevents accidental gouging of the floor. The lower the angle of your handle, the more your blade will "float" so it doesn’t catch on the subfloor. If you’re scraping on a hard subfloor, like concrete, flip the blade over so the flat side is facing down.Find the Hyde Floor Scrapers at your favorite hardware retailer or on Amazon.54" Floor Scraper: amazon.com/Hyde-Tools-19450-54-Inch-Scraper/dp/B001VEG1P248" Floor Scraper: amazon.com/Hyde-Tools-19440-Scraper-48-Inch/dp/B001VEK43W18" Floor Scraper: amazon.com/TOOLS-19430-Hammer-Scraper-4-Inch/dp/B001VEK43M6" Replacement Blade: amazon.com/HYDE-TOOLS-19452-Replacement-Blade/dp/B001VEC6MO4" Replacement Blade: amazon.com/Hyde-19451-Replacement-Blade-Scraper/dp/B001VEC6M4

How to use a paint brush and roller cleaner. | Hyde Tools Hyde Tools 2023-01-17 | hydetools.com | It may look like a hair comb, but it’s actually the Hyde Paint Brush and Roller Cleaner. (Tool No. 45960) And it's a pretty straightforward tool. One side cleans brushes and one side cleans rollers. (But it has a few tricks up its sleeve.) While running your brush under water, or in a bucket of water, use the comb in a downward motion through the filaments. TIP: do not jam the comb up into the top of the filaments near the ferrel. That will damage the brush and make it useless. Let the water do its job and take your time.For the roller cover cleaner... its most important job is to get excess paint off your roller at the end of a job. Once the excess paint is removed, you can then use it while running under water.Last but not least, the Brush and Roller Cleaner is designed with a tip to help open paint cans.Pick up your Paint Brush and Roller Cleaner at your favorite hardware retailer or on Amazon at amazon.com/HYDE-TOOLS-45960-Original-Version/dp/B000W65LJ2

How to use the Painters Pyramid on your next painting job. | Hyde Tools Hyde Tools 2023-01-10 | hydetools.com | Usually when you’re painting a cabinet door, trim, molding, or furniture, you first have to paint one side and then wait for it to dry.

How to use the Flexi-Frame paint roller frame. | Hyde Tools Hyde Tools 2023-01-03 | hydetools.com | This is no ordinary paint roller frame. The Flexi-Frame (Tool No. 47412), Hyde's newest roller frame product, was designed from the ground up with innovative new features. The standout feature is that it has 2 attachment points, one on each side, that allow you to bend the arms out slightly and attach the roller. This design prevents the “walk off” that you get with a traditional roller frame. And because both sides of the Flexi-Frame have a slim connector arm, that leaves about a half inch of space between the edge of the actual roller and the wall, you can paint right up against an opposite wall or ceiling without worrying about accidentally getting paint on the other side; and because you can get so close, you don’t have to make your cut-ins as wide, saving you time. Lastly, at the end of the job, you can remove the roller without having to touch the roller.Despite the high quality plastic and aluminum construction… without the roller cover on it it weights just half a pound, or about 225 grams. The Flexi-Frame has a textured handle for added grip, with a bucket hook at the top of the handle that allows you to rest it on the edge of a bucket or tray without it falling into the paint. It’s got a threaded bottom for attaching to any standard Acme extension pole.The Flexi-Frame is also available in an 18” version (Tool No. 47420) to help you get big jobs done much quicker. But the 18-inch has one added feature: it can be kept at a 0-degree angle for painting walls, but it also can be adjusted to 30 degrees for painting floors and ceilings. (Note that the 18-inch version does not have a handle, so you’ll need to attach it to an extension pole.)

How to repair drywall tears. | Hyde Tools Hyde Tools 2022-12-23 | If the paper is torn on the surface of your drywall, you may be tempted to just paint over it. But that will only make your problem worse. The brown paper underlayment on sheetrock absorbs moisture, so a water-based latex paint will cause that brown paper to bubble and separate from the gypsum beneath. Therefore, you must either seal the torn drywall surface with joint compound or an oil-based primer. In this video, professional drywaller and painter Jerry Vargo shows you how to perform either repair, and shares his favorite joint compound and oil-based paint products for the job.Tools seen in this video:Hyde MAXXGRIP® Top Slide Utility Knife: hydetools.com/product/maxxgrip-top-slide-utility-knifeHyde Wood-Handled Painter's Multitool (07975): amazon.com/dp/B001NOB7XQHyde Full Metal Joint Knife (06879): amazon.com/dp/B085751HTKHyde Lightweight Aluminum Drywall Hawk (09073): amazon.com/dp/B000PCB1JWZinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base PrimerMore drywall and painting how-to videos are available at: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnGaWPQR3pKgowCInFZCsudcRyBEQebq8
