What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this spline roller. Many praise its basic functionality and value for one-time use, noting it effectively pushes spline into frames and makes the job easier. However, most express serious durability concerns, reporting that plastic components wear out quickly—edges deform, lips break off, and the concave side flattens after just one or two uses. Reviewers consistently warn it is not built for repeated use and recommend upgrading to a metal version for any long-term application. A few mention initial learning curve issues like wobbling or accidental screen tearing.

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.

One of the worst products I have ever seen.
Would Not RecommendI haven't seen a product like this in a long time at Lowes. This is not a tool but a toy.

Ok for a single project

Good for short term.
Would RecommendI use this to make creases in cardboard so that I can fold and make a box of the size I need. It's a good tool for replacing your window screens.

cheap product
Would Not RecommendAlready wearing out after installing one screen. I should have spent the extra few bucks for a better product. Plastic is cracking and wearing down on the edge. This is what I get for being cheap.
