Ratings & Reviews for Phifer 7-1/2-in Plastic Screen rolling tool (

WORST thing I ever bought from Lowe's

This roller is aso flimsy and did not even last through my attempt to install a new screen. The roller compressed into a useless mess. Do not purchase this inferior item!

Don't buy

This is the only tool I could find in the screen section. The wheels wobble making it impossible to use. Ended up using a screwdriver to push the spline in. It worked a lot better.

Should be in a dollar bin

Expect to pay 10 times the mfg. cost for this toy-like, plastic tool. It works, just don't drop it or God-forbid step on it. Why buy it? Well, the weekend warrior doesn't have this necessary tool in their tool box so it is buy this or the much more expensive, wood and metal wood version. It should be in a dollar but it isn't because they know when people need one, they are likely going to have to buy one so price is whatever they want it to be. Only the navy color plastic keeps this looking like...

Cheap plastic

This is the only model available by Lowe's and it is made of cheap plastic. I went ahead and still tried it out before making a final decision on its quality, and it reaffirmed my first impression. It does not work even half as well as the traditional models (wood handle and steel rollers). Lowe's needs to offer more choices for the buyer; otherwise, others might make the same choice I did... I went to Home Depot and bought a good model there.

Get the metal / wood one instead

It's flimsy in comparison to a metal / wood one. Get that one instead.

its very cheap

I actually think the wheel is too thin. Takes quite few times before you can get the wheel to roll properly on the spline and get it gone. But even then, it has a tendency to lose it's track. If the wheel was a tad thicker, I think it would go on much easier.

Easy, inexpensive tool for replacing screens

This item was easy to use and helped make the job quick and easy. I was able to replace 6 screens in less than 2 hours.

Good enough

It's a plastic tool, so what can I say. I worked just fine. I expect when I need it again it will work fine then as well. Fit well in my hand.

Excellent Tool

Worked like a charm. Fixed my screen in less than 10 minutes.

Good item for average use

I was skeptical of the quality of this tool, but for the money, it did its job. This tool is not going to do a whole house full of screens, but for the average homeowner with a few repairs to make, it will do the task. If you are not trying to use this as a commercial tool, it will be fine.

This product gets the job done.

Love my Lowe's Store in Killeen TX . The Customer care department ratings 5 stars plus. Keep up the go works.

One of the worst products I have ever seen.

I haven't seen a product like this in a long time at Lowes. This is not a tool but a toy. It wiggled when trying to place the roller on the rubber strip that holds the screen in the door and if you pushed down on it to push the rubber cord into the screen it ran its own course and almost cut the screen. I was afraid I would braked it putting pressure on it because its cheap plastic. I am embarrassed to even write a product review on this tool. I found out that they were all that way in the box t...

spline roller

This tool is a snap to use and quickly installs the spline.

Ok for a single project

I purchased this item but it started to fall apart quickly. I should have spent more money and purchased a better quality tool especially since I had to make more than 7 screens.
