What happens here

The presenter detaches the angle adapter and highlights a significant drawback: the added weight of the adapter to the end of the spray gun extension. He explains that this extra weight can cause considerable wrist fatigue during long painting sessions. As an alternative, he demonstrates his preferred method of manually angling the entire spray gun and extension upwards to achieve the same coverage on the undersides of siding laps, showing it's possible without the adapter's added weight.

Goal: Understand the pros/cons of the adapter and an alternative spraying technique.

What they say

And so now it'll spray upwards. So check it out. The reason why I don't use one, it's a lot of added weight to the end of the gun. And so when you're spraying, you know, for extended periods of time all day long, a lot more risk fatigue. I'd rather just angle my gun up. But the bottom lap right here, you could just shoot it up, bottom lap. And it's going to shoot the bottom.
