The paint stick holds approximately 18-ounces of paint, and one fill will cover an 8-by-8-foot area (each gallon of paint contributes about seven fills of the paint stick).

I bought a paint stick and used it for years. I had to buy a new one after original was crushed. I used the twice (cleaning it after each use) and when I went to use it the third time, nothing! There was no suction at all. I pulled it apart, cleaned it again, greased it up and still nothing.
I cannot find the receipt so I cannot return it.
I will NEVER buy a Wagner paint stick again.

I bought this paintstick to paint 2 rooms, with celings. I got one coat on each ceiling & it worked ok but I wouldn’t say that it’s better than traditional rollers or that it saves you time or energy. If anything, its heavier and makes you work harder and takes just as much time. Furthermore, cleaning this thing not only takes a phD but it also takes an hour plus AND was so tedious I ended up throwing it away…I just didnt see the value.
The instruction booklet is 2 pages on setup and use and 6 pages on cleaning. No thanks.

I purchased this painting stick with the idea of using it for a large inside painting job (including ceilings) but without having to change colors. After less than 2 hours of use, the seals around the head were leaking (splattering me and the floor with paint). After 2-1/2 hours, the roller was popping off even when not saturated with paint, wasting great quantities of paint. After 3 hours (actually slightly less), it was in the garbage. The amount of effort saved was not worth the aggrevation.

I purchased this product because a friend recommended it. I had problems right out of the box. The o rings on the plunger are too big and too soft, which makes the plunger very difficult to insert into the tube, and once you manage to get it in, the o rings roll in their grooves causing the tool to lose suction making it useless. Once I managed to get the tool to work and suck the paint up into the tube, I noticed the roller moved very stiffly, and once loaded with paint, it did not roll freely, causing the roller to slide across the surface instead of rolling.
This may have been a good tool at one time, I am not sure, but the one I got was a huge dissappointment and waste of money. I promptly threw the whole thing in the garbage. If you want one that works, get the one made by Wagner, it has a few more parts to clean and is a little more complicated, but I have had decent luck with it, and usually can get a few days worth of painting out of it before I have any problems, then I simply buy a new one…they are cheap.

The paintstick was a great tool to paint with. Problem is mostly cleaning it up. Although it worked well, it is not as good as the Wagner Paintmate.
