VERSATILE Painting Tools. Using a Clean Shot Valve.

What happens here

The presenter showcases the CleanShot's ability to adjust the spray angle by turning the guard and the valve itself (e.g., 20 to 30-degree angle). This flexibility is crucial for reaching areas like wall edges or spraying trim where a direct angle might be obstructed. He demonstrates how the adjustable angle, particularly when paired with an extension, allows for spraying spindles by leaning over and adjusting the valve to cover each face without needing to reposition the entire spray gun or use ladders. This significantly saves time and effort compared to traditional methods that might require brushing or complex maneuvers.

Goal: The CleanShot valve allows for easy adjustment of the spray angle, enabling painters to spray trims, spindles, and other challenging surfaces without physical strain or needing additional equipment.

my back is so again for me it's at 20 to 30 percent angle so i can actually get in but also we find that if i wanted to spray the trim and i wanted to get into this area here sometimes there's a wall here and you just you just can't get in so you have more options what we can do is turn the guard okay we're lucky to go there and then what we do is we can turn it this way giving us an opportunity now where the walls there to be able to actually get in to a very awkward area now i understand why you called the swiss army i mean it's just crazy when when we spray spindles uh one of the things that we teach is spraying spindles as opposed to let's say brushing spindles um the difference is when you stand this way the spindles and you lean over you're saving so much time and money by not having a uh a tower a big ladder you can just lean over but the thing is trying to get in normal with a gun or as an extension bar it's a nightmare so what we do if we turn sideways we just kink it this way oh there you go and what we do is we lean over and then we're able to come up the spindle then you've got one spindle so we've done one face okay then we've got three more sides to do so what we do then is we turn this like this and then i can go down each of the spindles like so you look like you've used this thing a few times before that's pretty cool um and also we find that this works really well for doors not just for the spit but because just by giving that 20 angle there when we actually come to spray the doors before we'd have to because we want a perfect finish at the bottom as much as everywhere else so when we come down
