Wooster Brush R017-9 Sherlock Cage Roller Frame 9in

Product Description

The WOOSTER BRUSH R017-9 is the Sherlock Cage Roller Frame, a 9-inch paint roller frame designed for professional painters and finishing tradespeople. It features a quick-release spring mechanism that holds roller covers firmly in place during use while allowing single-rap removal for fast cover changes. Smooth bearings reduce shank wear and prevent graying over time. The frame is built around a chrome-plated 5/16-inch shank and includes a polypropylene grip with reinforced threads for secure extension pole attachment. Cage endcaps are constructed from fiberglass-reinforced nylon for durability through repeated use and cleaning cycles.

This roller frame is suited for interior and exterior painting applications across residential and commercial jobsites. It is compatible with standard 9-inch roller covers and is a common tool for painters applying latex or oil-based coatings to walls, ceilings, and large flat surfaces. The Sherlock design is particularly valued on production painting jobs where fast roller cover swaps reduce downtime. Professional painters and finishing contractors are the primary users of this frame.

Installation Notes

Install roller covers by sliding them onto the cage and allowing the quick-release spring to seat the cover before use.
