Should You Buy The Zipwall Dust Wall System? 

I've recently started using the zipwall system (i do kitchen remodeling) and although it is expensive i feel like i get my moneys worth going to a new job site almost every week and being able to quickly section off the area i need within minutes and have it look very professional. its definitely not for everyone if your only going to use it a few times a year probably not worth investing in it but if you use it 40-50 times a year its worth every penny.

I used these for years and then found the Trimaco heavy duty dust containment poles. Much easier to use with the foot pump. Yes,they are pricey.

Thank you for an excellent and very informative review. It is much appreciated.

Just get the fastcap third hand poles. It is more multipurposed.

Well said!

Nice review John , Fastcap makes something like this I don't know the cost of it .

Thanks John. Dexter Morgan could have used these. You familiar with the Showtime series "Dexter" :)

Like the video but you kinda lost me talking about the cost than again I'm in the business and use them all the time. For me it's a time is money thing. If I'm working with other old bulky twist/crank poles or purchasing strapping everytime to cut down it just doesn't make sense and those systems take way too long to set up. Also I'm already tall (over 6ft) but in those other methods I would need a ladder and in the strapping method also a skill saw, stapler and staples, and a tapes measure plus whatever was needed to secure the plastic tight to the floor so the dust wouldn't escape. I recently did a job for a friend. He had critters in the attic and they moved around his blown in insulation enough that his plaster ceiling started chip off the paint during the cold winter months. Small area 16x16 type of area affected but in the middle of his open concept main floor living room with finished hardwood floors throughout. Took me maby 10 min to move a chair and table and set up my Dexter poly 4x4 room. I threw a drop cloth in the middle to receive the paint chips and for the ladder when I skimmed. When sanding happened I released tension just enough to have my shop vac hose sneak in through the bottom collecting dust out of that space and let it run a few min after. Took it all down, rolled up that drop cloth and then went on to paint. For anyone in the business I would strongly recommend zip wall. It's prob one of my top 5 purchases that save me time and address customers consearns like dust or traffic through finished areas. Albert floorotex is another favorite. Not needed for that task though

I ordered a painters pole and the company sent me this by accident instead

Good review, as always.

The price is so worth it, I use it everyday. I totally disagree with you regarding price.

Way over priced for plastic! You could do the same With poles you have in the truck with wood blocks

The red plates are cheap plastic they break so easily and very expensive
