Update 2:
I finally went over the links I posted and I noticed that a lot of them looked very similar to the ones that Ace Hardware has. Here is what I gathered simply from my observation of the sprayers and testing them mechanically without liquid products. Ace Hardware 1.42L Looking at the Ace sprayer, it looks like an oh-k sprayer but it has no on/off feature for constant spraying. It's fairly decently constructed and seems like a solid product. However, there's a very slight bit of play in the pump handle but it's negligible. Its size is pretty spot-on but could be smaller, at least for me anyways. The grip handle on this thing is pretty comfortable considering it has finger grooves for all four fingers. Placement of the thumb trigger is perfect. Overall, not bad for OTC. Home Depot 1.9L The Home Depot sprayer really is a cheap piece of crap. There's WAY too much play in the pump handle and there's definitely a possibility of it snapping off from rigorously pumping the sprayer. Believe it or not, it does have a plus though; it has an on/off feature for constant spraying (whoop-tee-do). Also, it just seems a bit too large for me. Anything larger than 1.5L is just too big. The grip handle is decent but is left in dust by its Ace Hardware counterpart. Overall, save your gas for something that's worth driving for. Lowe's No description yet here but this item will be picked up later today. Solo The 415 is probably the only comparable Solo sprayer to its competitors as far as specifications and looks-wise. At first I was hesitant at ordering this one since Solo has better offerings but since I'll be saving money (note information in Ditchek section), I figured I'd grab the 415 and 418. Ditchek I looked at this product at the website again and i was  and decided that it really wasn't worth paying $37.95 for a damn sprayer, LoL. Plus, on top of that, Solo has much more to offer based on its pricing and additional sprayer features. However, it will have a replacement. Its replacement shall be the Solo 419.I know, I know... I had complained earlier about anything larger than 1.5L / 1.5QT was too big for me but with a 7" wand with a multi-directional nozzle, it's hard to beat. Who knows, maybe it'll grow on me and I won't let its size bother me. Stay tuned for performance results once P21S and all sprayers are available and ready for testing!

Are you actually using TAW or another chemical to do your testing, cause i was thinking why not just use water.
I did get 2 Home Depot sprayers before you did your testing and i have to agree with you that they are crap. Very cheaply made and the spray pattern is not a very nice even spray. Ended up returning both. When the lady who took it back asked if anything was wrong with it, i wanted to say, "Ya it sprays like crap and looks like it will break on me."

Below are a few pics of the US Plastic Full Function Pump Sprayer. It comes with a normal nozzle and the one pictured. Quality-wise, it feels better than the Big Lots sprayer that I have, except for the plastic pump rod. Also notice that there is no latch or button for continuous spray.

Looking good, I was thinking of the Full Function over the Spray Mist. The Spray Mist is sold for the same price at TOL, so I bet the Full Function is made of really good material and very solid.
