This is an absolutely essential addition to any spray paint project. I tried to save money on my first project and did all my spray painting by hand. Most of my projects were small such as painting a 10 inc vase or the bottom of a Mason jar. Small projects like these, especially if it's your first time spray painting can seem easy enough and you can do it by hand, but you won't notice the difference in comfort as well as evenness till you switch to a paint gun. When this arrived, I was very excited to see if there is much of a difference between hand-spray painted and gun-spray painted work. The last picture shows the un-evenness that can result from hand spray painting (a little of this is also inexperience spray painting). It took more force that I was able to get the Rust-Oleum Vintage Copper into the gun, so I had to ask for help. After a little experimentation, I found that the easiest way to get it into the gun is to place the can of paint, nozzle facing away from you on the ground (lay the can length-wise, not upright), put you foot against it to prevent is from rolling off, and then take the gun, only holding the black portion and press it into the nozzle head. With a little click, it should go it without too much force. It might take a few tries to get used to it, but it comes easily after. I recently had a friend over for some DIYing, he hates spray painting as it hurts his hand, but after trying my spray paint gun, he really ended up enjoying the process. I've switched spray paints over ten times now and the gun contraption has not loosened or broken. Overall, this is great for getting an even coat on your spray paint projects, and requires much less effort and elbow grease. Even if you are starting with a small project, this investment is well worth it for you fingers! I'm very happy with this paint gun and recommend it highly. Happy DIYing!

As someone with Myositis, which is a muscle wasting disease. This product is brilliant. My fingers don't have the strength they use to, and Gun Aerosol gave me back a small portion of my life. I can now use it for aerosol cans of Lysol, furniture polish, etc. I can even use it on hairspray, and deodorant. Instead of trying to push down on a tiny top, I just hardly touch the Gun Aerosol grip, and it works. It's easy pain free and has brought back a bit of independence.

Used this when repainting a set of wheels I refinished. Clips on easily. Saved me from getting paint on my fingers and made all the coats almost effortless. Only thing I could comment on is that sometimes the can itself would rotate, causing the nozzle to be off center of the opening. But this is easily noticed and fixed with a simple turn of the can. Definitely recommend!

Cheap and easy to use! No more cramped fingers! This is really great! I always use this whenever I'm spray painting a large project. My fingers use to cramp up like crazy but never again! I bought this back in 2011 and I'm still using it till this day. It's been 9 years guys. It's fantastic. You just snap it onto your spray can and snap it off onto another spray can. I'll admit at the beginning I was scare to snap it on and off. It's still just cheap plastic and I was really scared of breaking the thing. Once you get over that though and realize it's actually pretty study it's fine. You actually get better control of spraying also since you can maneuver the can around easier with much better grip. Your grip and maneuverability always suffers as your fingers start getting tired and crampy from longer bouts of spray painting (or if the trigger/nozzle is super small or tight as some cans tend to be based on the brands). I can never go back to spray painting the old fashioned way without this gadget.

Wow, can't believe I never saw this before! I am not a professional painter, but this little gizmo is worth its weight in gold! It is so hard to hold the can and shake/swirl it for good coverage with just your hand, and then the nozzle - your finger pretty begs for a break. Well, this little contraption solves both problems. Easy to snap on, and easy to use. I've bought two (cause I expected one to break), but don't think I will need the 2nd, as the first seems to be holding up well after several cans of spray paint.

This thing is fantastic, om new to plastic model kits and this thing is great! My thumbs would get sore when using rattle cans for other projects in the past. Those were one offs tho so I never paid it much attention. Now that I'm in a hobby where I will be using rattle cans much more frequently I thought this would be a good idea. It absolutely is, it's fantastic to apply base costs, color costs and top coats with and is much more comfortable than spraying normally. My only gripe is that brand new. The unit is a little stiff to push a new can into but I guess that's a good thing too. Love it, buy it, you won't regret it.
