I've done a million screens. I can tell right away the screen mouse is the way to go. Alignment is a constant problem that makes you cut the screen and fall off track. Yes, the old-school metal ball bearing like with Everhard is a "better tool" (they are plastic rollers as well) but the plastic keeps you from cutting or falling off track. the dual roller is awesome... Thanks for the vid

Thanks for showing us. I like the long yellow plastic screen tool

Thanks for watching Jenna!

I prefer the old school one, you made it look so easy to make a tight screen! 😭 we use some frames that bow if you try to make them to tight 😫

And I would also like to say something else. I like everything you do, you can do almost everything. and patent that you work for the same company that I work for. And I am very pleased and more was a very hardworking person 😄

It’s been a year, how long did it take you to replace your screen mouse.

Still got it, still use it, holding up strong 💪

⁠​⁠ I work for a screen company that pays for production. Sad to say that 15 minutes(from another comment) for one screen will get you no where money wise where I work. I work with a lady that rolls two screens(no matter the size) in under a minute. We tried the mouse before but that takes to much time to go around the corners and it tends to get stuck. It does get the screen nice and tight and keeps the spline straight I can give it that. But we stick with the regular plastic stick rollers( a combination of plastic wheel and wood/metal stick) since we can go faster, and a better screen over all. One down side is that you have to watch how you roll or you will warp the screen bc of pressure..key tip is practice. Also to helps if you block the screen in to help with tension and keep the screens size and shape.

Haha ya , I roll like 1 screen a month these days. I think the mouse is more idiot proof than the classic sturdy roller though. I could see rolling screens in a minute if I did it all day though

"Blocking" is key in preventing an "hourglass" shaped finished screen.

Well I still have the same mouse and still using it to rescreen windows and sliders in under 15 minutes, 2 years later, so I may have been lucky but it's held up so far

😅 what a joke. How not to do a screen. I can do this faster with absolutely no wrinkles with a regular spline tool
