VERSATILE Painting Tools. Using a Clean Shot Valve.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates how traditional spraying without the CleanShot valve often requires bending over excessively to reach lower areas like skirting (baseboards), putting significant stress on the back and knees. By attaching the CleanShot, he shows how it adds flexibility, allowing him to spray low without bending as much, thus reducing physical fatigue and increasing efficiency. This flexibility also helps in reaching awkward areas more easily.

Goal: This step illustrates how the CleanShot valve reduces physical strain by allowing painters to maintain better posture and reach awkward areas more comfortably, contrasting it with traditional spraying that causes bending and fatigue.

What they say

Hide

having to be all the way down here yeah so the clean shot was really it was designed to eliminate spits and what happens is when you put a gun extension on a gun the longer the gun extension is the more spits you have and if you're spraying walls or trim say walls like this these are smooth walls what you see over here a lot is a level 5 finish and you don't want to get spits on the level 5 finish because you're going to see that where i come from we don't have level 5 finished walls where it's very rare we have orange peel textured walls so spits it's not really that big of a deal but getting spits on your trim is a big deal so you can either learn how to spray by not starting and stopping on your trim or you can just throw on this clean shot right here and that's going to eliminate it but once again you use it for way more things than just remaining spins what i want to be able to do is i just like the idea of being able to give it like a 20 30 degree angle so let's show that crowd right there so why the heck did you just do that ah i see we go right so what we're talking about is the fact that that's a mini extension mark so when we spray we've got to come down we've really got to bend i'm all the way down here we're still getting a spit okay because the valve is at flush position i'm not interested at this point to reduce this bit that's not what i'm interested in i just want this ability to have less fatigue on my body and a little more speed it's just so much comfort you know and what i call that is painting lazy so what you're trying to do is just make it easier on yourself if you don't have to bend over farther you're just not going to fatigue your back you're not going to fatigue your knees you're going to be able to paint longer throughout the day i race bikes i want to be refreshed or have a lot more energy when i get done at the end of the day to go race at the end of the day so the less bending i have to do the less stooping i have to do the less fatigue my back is so again for me it's at 20 to
