These rollers work like a charm in my studio. I purchased them with the metal chain driven system because after renting a larger studio that happened to use the plastic chain version, I had a few slow downs when changing backdrops when the plastic linkage separated. With these metal ones in my new studio its been so far so good. No slippage, no separation.
