(More customer reviews)Screen Tight Roller-Knife Screening Tool
I previously used cheap screening tools, the kind with two 1/16" wide steel rollers, one to press the screen into the spline slot, and the other to seat the spline.
This tool is better.
Pros:
- Tool has a 1/8" wide concave nylon roller, which is twice the width of the old style tools. It pretty much stays on the spline as you're rolling over it.
- Has a nice grip and your hand won't slip off or down.
Cons:
- Would have been better if the roller was wider still.
- One end of the tool has a small hook knife to trim the screen or spline, which a utility knife, scissors, or snips will do just as well. Instead of a hook knife, the tool should have a convex (curved outward) roller to push the new screening into the frame's spline slot. Hence, if using aluminum screening, you'll need another tool to push the screen into the spline slot. Fiberglass screening is more flexible, so it's easier to install than the stiffer aluminum screening.
- Tool comes with NO instructions (see "comment" below).
Summary:
This tool has a more appropriately sized spline roller than the cheaper screening tools (that have a 1/16" wide concave roller). For that reason alone, it's worth buying.
