Sideswipe Herbicide Applicator

Comments about Sideswipe Herbicide Applicator:

We bought this to carefully treat invasive grass around endangered plants in windy conditions, but couldn't use it. It takes a long time to saturate the knap of the paint roller, but once saturated, it just continues to pour out! The knap is not dense enough to keep fluid from dripping--constantly, and with volume. Tipping it back to upright doesn't stop the drips--there will be a large volume of herbicide in roller, so it continues to run down the long handle for a good while. This might be useful on a flat lawn where you intend full coverage more or less, maybe using a selective herbicide to kill your broadleaf weeds. No good for precision work.

very difficult to use. disappointing product and very sorry I spent money on it. When full, pad gets wet, but doesn't easily apply to plants - had to press them down on the ground firmly to get any herbacide on them. Very messy to clean up and put away after use. Much, much easier to use a gallon sprayer with nozzel on stream instead of spray.
