Product Overview
Why choose a Better Spreader?
- Evenly and efficiently apply adhesives, directly from the can
- Eliminate tanks, trays, valves, and cranks—and the messes that go with them
- Double the production compared to paint rollers
- Decrease downtime with quick and easy roller changes
- Reduces fatigue with a lightweight, compact design
What’s the difference between a Tank Spreader and a Better Spreader?
- Better Spreaders are appropriate for adhesive work only; Tank Spreaders can be used with both adhesives and coatings.
- Tank Spreaders have a hopper with ¼” holes located 1” on center. Better Spreaders hold 5-gallon pails of material above a roller. To release the material, you punch a row of holes in the side of each pail.
- Both Tank Spreaders and Better Spreaders are available in SingleWide (14”) and DoubleWide (27”) models; only Tank Spreaders are available in 40” width.
Why would I choose a Better Spreader over a Tank Spreader?
If your goal is to completely eliminate clean-up hassles at the end of a long work day, the Better Spreader is for you. Still, our Tank Spreaders clean up easily, too, and although thousands of roofers have made the switch to our ground-breaking Better Spreader since we introduced it in 1982, most roofers simply prefer to keep using what they’re used to using.
