gauge steel now we're going to talk about the portion of the roller that actually holds your nap or roller on all right I'm going to talk about the differences in these two rollers right here one roller frame right here this wire mechanism is what holds your nap on the frame this wire mechanism is what holds your nap on this professional roller frame right here I'm going to talk a little bit about you know this roller and what happens is you're going to slide your roller on and this it that you can see it kind of bends it's kind of spring loaded right here that loading right there it creat tension on the roller but this is kind of a weak mechanism and this does weaken over time as you put a roller on and off and the roller will have a tendency to slide off your roller if you're rolling in the wrong direction which a lot of us do we're not paying attention to it if you roll this direction it's going to be pushing it on but if you roll this direction it's going to be sliding off and I I know this type of mechanism your rollers have a tendency to um be way too loose and slide on and off this type type of mechanism right here this um metal device right here your roller comes on and this is what crims it on there and it keeps it on a lot stronger a lot longer and it's less likely to fatigue and wear out and allow your rollers to roll off so this is the mechanism that holds it on right here so I'm going to talk a little bit also about the the um roller itself it's spinning on here and how it's kept on over time time if you keep your rollers in water to clean them your water is going to cause rust and damage eventually these things will break fatigue or rust and come off now cheaper rollers these things break on average probably about 50% sooner than a roller like a blue tiger right here would um
