FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

Is stainless steel roller better than nylon roller?

No, the cost of metal is higher, but just a difference in raw materials, not related to A or B class.

In some situations, we prefer the nylon one.

Are there any accessories for mounting?

yes, there is a bag of screws, and a separate packaging, convenient for your preservation.
