Keson PA35 Paint Marking Wand, Black

Works great

This is a well made unit for a fair price ..... However there is a Problem for a Novice not Recognizing the difference between "Striping" and "Marking" When I purchased this unit one of those "often ordered with " tags pops up and it was Rustoleum Striping Paint..... So I ordered the paint and it is NOT COMPATIBLE with the "marking" tool.... the Spray nozzles on "Marking" paint and "Striping" paint are totally different and require a different TOOL to apply .

I bought this wand to mark where I want a contractor to level an area for a foundation. It was very easy to assemble but the description neglected to indicate that the spray paint can MUST have a spray nozzle that is activated by being pushed FORWARD - not down. Of course, I grabbed the wrong can and the wand was useless! Keson - shame on you for stating that any inverted marking paint can fits but not mentioning for your customers to look at the thpe of nozzle! I can't fault your product but I can take 1 star away for this.

I used this to mark zone piping in the backyard ahead of installing a sprinkler system. I think the reviewer who stated that you needed herculean strength to operate this, I am assuming he was not using the correct paint. The device is for marking paint, which has a tip that just needs pushed to the side to operate. Make sure you do not get traffic paint, as it operates differently.

Works as expected

I feel pretty savvy when it comes to figuring things out. However, no matter how I tried, the Keson PA35 Paint Marking Wand did not work for me. I used "KwikGoal" white athletic paint from Academy Sports in the Paint Marking Wand. The trigger would not engage the nozzle (no matter how I placed it).My solution was to spray the white athletic paint by hand (which is not a problem - but I was looking for "ease" with the paint marking wand) — as we were laying out a kickball field for an event. We bought a lot of different items for our kickball tournament... and everything else worked just fine.I would ask for money back... but I'm outside the "return" window.PS - no anymosity... just bummed.

It’s a paint stick so I’m not expecting high quality. The trigger and the handle are not made to handle much and wears out and breaks faster than it seems like it should. I think they can do better but it is what it is.

This Keson PA35 Paint Marking Wand with a wheel works perfectly. I received the wand and the wheel in the same package as I expected. I also purchased a spray can of red Paint Marking paint that worked as designed with this wand. The longer shaft makes marking out where to dig or where not to dig very easy. NOTE: This paint marking wand will only work with paint marking spray cans. Don't try to use this with any other type of spray cans, like striping paint. It looks like this wand will last for quite some time if treated properly.
