We use our line driver not only for paint, but also for our hand liners, bituminous applicator, grinders, layout, basically nobody walks anymore, I think we are three time more productive because of them, so definitely yes you should get one.

I had a total of about four hours of pushing my graco 5900 before I purchased a driver. This may well be the most important single accessory you can have. We did a job in 6 hours that the customer said the previous striper took threee days for the same amount of striping.

Striping is only about 20 % of our business and we do only smaller to medium size lots and wouldn't think of laying down lines without one. Soooo much quicker and saves the dogs from barking walking for hours on hot asphalt.

A picture is worth a thousand words but a video may be worth two thousand. I don't think any one watching Jim's video could argue that it won't make you more productive. We strongly believe ours increased production three times.

I've done bigger but not by myself. A lot of apartments around here are about the size of small towns, I've gotten lost and couldn't find my way back to the truck before.
