8 Best Paint Rollers




BEST BUDGET-FRIENDLY ROLLER

Classic Roller Frame
GRIP TIGHT TOOLS
  • Very inexpensive
  • Threaded handle
  • Doesn’t include covers
  • May not be as durable as higher-priced options

Key Specs

  • Roller Length: 9 inches
  • Roller Cover: None
  • Extension Pole Compatibility: Yes

If you just need a basic roller for a quick job, or need a large quantity of rollers and don’t want to spend a ton of money, this Grip Tight roller could be a great fit. Despite its extremely low price, this roller includes a threaded handle, making it compatible with an extension pole, and its five cage wires should hold your roller cover nice and tight.

It doesn’t include any covers though, so you’ll need to purchase those separately. It’s probably not durable enough for frequent use, but for less than $2, you won’t find anything much cheaper.

BEST 9-INCH ROLLER

Soft Grip Roller Frame
WOOSTER
  • Extra-durable construction
  • Comfortable handle
  • Cover must be purchased separately

Key Specs

  • Roller Length: 9 inches
  • Roller Cover: None
  • Extension Pole Compatibility: Yes

If you’re in need of a high-quality roller that’s built to last, this Wooster model could be just what you’re looking for. Our favorite feature of this model is its soft, ergonomic handle, which is not only comfortable to use for long periods of time, but also provides a solid and sturdy grip while you roll.

We’ve been using Wooster paint products for years, and have always had a good experience when it comes to their durability and quality construction. This roller also uses an additional layer of material at the bottom of the handle, making it less likely to bend or crack when using an extension pole.
