It is not a spinner — it removes paint by contact, and it does not dry anything; a combed brush and a scraped cover are still soaked, and drying is the 43470's job.
It is not a surface scraper — the roller face is shaped and sharpened for nap, not for lifting paint off a wall or metal (that is the putty-knife and attack-brush territory).
It does not replace the wash — it strips and combs so the wash can work, and cannot substitute for it.
And the retailer-repeated "patented" descriptor is deliberately left out of this page's claims ⚑ until it is verified against the patent record; nothing here rests on it.
letting the points reach the heel; both faces of a flat brush. Roller side — scrape along the axis, not across it, matching the tool's curve to the cover so the whole length unloads evenly. Strip before you wash, always — the scraper's job is to get the paint out so the water can get the fibers clean; reverse that order and you waste both. Keep it wet: these are tools for softened paint, not dried film. Rinse the tool itself — stainless doesn't rust, but dried paint welded in a comb tooth or on the scraper lip degrades the next job.
Asked before buying
BUYER QUESTIONS, ANSWERED BEFORE YOU ORDER
What makes this different from the plain brush comb?
A roller face. The 45960 cleans brushes and rollers; the 45950 is a brush comb only, with nothing on the reverse for a cover.
Is it really all stainless?
The construction is stainless steel per the catalog and repeated by retailers — which is why it can live in solvent and wash water without rusting. The exact alloy grade isn't published, so none is claimed .
Does the roller side scrape paint off walls or metal?
No — it's shaped for roller nap. Surface scraping is a putty-knife/attack-brush job.
Will it dry my brush or roller?
No. It strips and combs the paint out; drying is the spinner's (43470) job. Scrape, comb, wash, then spin.
Is it patented?
A retailer listing says so; this page doesn't repeat the claim until it's verified against the patent record , and nothing here depends on it.
