Not as good compared to older models of same case
"I've had a BR 22" roller for almost 30 years as well as a larger, expandable roller for at least 15 years. Both have been used extensively and have served me extremely well. BR has always lived up to the obligation to make repairs without exception. I recently bought two more 22" rollers as gifts. They are not the same. The construction is lighter. You can't get your hand comfortably under the carrying handle, and the expandable feature is very weak, i. e. it can be compressed without retracting the latches."
