Prime-Line P 7505 Screen Rolling Tool – A Must Have Tool for Installing Window and Door Screens – Spline Roller with Wood Handle and Steel Wheels – Durable and Easy to Use (Single Pack)

Arrived quickly

I took on the task of re-screening every exterior screen at our house. So far, I have redone 11 screens using this tool to insert the spline around the screen. I love the fact that this one is metal, so it doesn't warp, bend, or break like the plastic ones can. The tool is very durable and has made the job quick and easy. Even better, there are two different sizes on the tool, one is wider and one is thinner. On the parts of the screen where the tabs are located to pull the screen out from the window, I use the thin end to really get the spline down in tight. My husband does construction and he was impressed with it and how easy it made the job for me. Buy it. You won't regret it.

Screen tool replacement helper. Great tool and does the job well.

Great

My crazy Brittany went through my screen door like it wasn't there when she saw a bird. She is a bird dog after all. SO, I believe in trying to repair things myself. I found a youtube video and it looked simple enough. I ordered this, found that little rubber strip stuff and a new screen and by golly, this made it so EASY. Great little tool for a lady to have in her tool box. I am ready for the dog to go through another screen. Bring it on.

Worked perfect for the window screens!

This tool is grippy and strong and easy to work with. I’d recommend having some gloves while you’re doing this because you can sometimes slip and hurt your fingers a little bit in the process. I also only use the single edge side in my opinion. I’ve noticed that when you use the double side, sometimes it will actually tear a little hole on the inside corner where you are laying the screen mesh, and then you have to redo the replacement. When I am installing mesh, I liked to always push the rubber spline in from the outer edge of the rubber, so that I don’t have the possibility of damaging the inside part of the mesh. Also, I found if you’re trying to get it in it is helpful to have a flathead screwdriver to push in the corners and then also I would pull the screen nice and tight while at the same time you’re going to pull the rubber spline nice and tight so that it can make it easy for you to roll it into the frame and then loosen up so that the rubber can expand once it’s sitting in the frame.

In case, like me, you've never replaced a window screen before and you're thinking, "Hey, this will be easy, I can just press the spline into the track using a flat, rounded surface like the handle of a butter spoon!" in the immortal words of Judas Priest, "You got another think comin'." Trust me, it will NOT work; don't even waste your time. All you will accomplish no matter how carefully you do it, is to tear the screen along the track and the spline will NOT go in. This is why you absolutely NEED this special tool! By the time I had figured this out, the screen was ruined (because I had cut it to the proper size per instructions) and I ordered some more from Overstock Enterprises which, although the tracking said "delivered," it was never delivered at our house or at the neighbors', so we have no idea what happened, but Overstock did kindly refund the purchase. After this nifty tool arrived (quickly and at an unbeatable price!), I went back and re-stretched and adjusted the piece of screen in the hopes of making it work. I already had new corners from Hardware Solutions. This turned out to be an extremely hard project and a huge waste of time despite the fact that I am usually very handy with tools and fixing stuff and actually designed and helped build my own house. Even with this special nifty tool, it was VERY difficult to make the spleen go into the track without tearing the screen. After about an hour of struggling I had two of the sides fixed when the spline bunched up and the screen tore horribly halfway through the third side. At this point I gave up. My advice? Just buy a whole new screen if you can, unless you have limitless time to waste, the patience of a saint, and plenty of extra screen so you can start over when it tears.

bought to repair fly screens - new mesh needed installing into the frame and this tool did the job well

Great tool and must to have

ممتازة وتقوم بالواجب ولكن لو كانت العجلات من البلاستيك بيكون افضل .لان عجلتها معدنية واحيانا تقطع الشبك اثناء التركيب .هناك نوع بعجلات بلاستيك انصح به

Very good and made in Taiwan Not Chinese

we use this tool quite bit in the summer and it works great, it is very simply to use and the handle is comfortable.
