Duratool Lightweight T-Bar Applicator
This is the T-bar we reach for when controlled film build matters more than brute force.
The Duratool Lightweight T-Bar Applicator is a professional-grade, stainless steel and plastic T-bar designed specifically for applying waterborne floor finishes using the snowplow method. Its lightweight construction allows the finish to flow and level naturally, helping crews achieve a properly thick, even coating without overworking the material.
The rigid stainless steel body maintains shape and pressure consistency, while the reduced weight minimizes fatigue and prevents squeezing finish out of the sleeve. This makes it easier to maintain a wet edge and avoid thin spots, chatter, or uneven sheen.
The applicator features standard female threading, making it compatible with most professional extension poles. It fits Duratool and Padco T-bar sleeves, which are widely used for modern waterbased finish systems.

Dustin’s Notes
Weight matters more than people think. A lighter T-bar lets the finish stay where you put it instead of getting squeezed thin. If you’re running waterbased systems and using the snowplow method, this keeps things calmer and more consistent.
