Default Hand Pump Sprayers Galore!

Well, I began my search for the hand-pump sprayers that Carlos uses for his P21S TAW and Wheel Cleaner Gel and I found a bunch of sites with similar-looking sprayers. I'm sure they all function the same but the question is whether how well they actually perform and how resistant they are to chemicals such as P21S.

Anyway, I was too lazy to make that decision for myself and just decided to post a bunch of links for them so you all could make the decision for yourself if you're interested in purchasing some of these. Enjoy!

Keep in mind this was a fairly quick Google search. Eventually at some point in time, I'll sift through all the links and figure out where I'll get mine. One of the links is through Ace Hardware which is great since it's OTC. I think it would be anyone's best bet so long as the sprayer performs as desired.

Great post!

I actually bought 4 of Solo Hand Pump Sprayer — 1 Liter, Model# 418-1L | Portable Sprayers | Northern Tool + Equipment from ebay for about $53 shipped.

SOLO 418 1-LITER ONE-HAND SPRAYER, MISTER ,WATERER - eBay (item 150248206826 end time Jun-15-08 07:33:35 PDT)

Just have used them once so far, but much better quality then the $7 sprayers from HD.

Hey Denzil, like DJ_Jonny said, the ones from Big Lots are decent but the spray adjustability leaves a bit to be desired. For $4 I like the pump sprayer a lot. I've been eyeing that Solo 419 to get deep into the wells with some TAW. USPlastic is always a good place to shop, expecially if you need some 1oz. gallon pump dispensers, spray triggers/bottles, etc.; the full function sprayer seems to be the most versatile. I'll personally be placing an order soon and will pick up at least one to do a comparo against the Big Lots sprayer I already have.

Thanks for posting the links!

You're all welcome guys!

I'm thinking I'll hit up Ace Hardware and Big Lots this week myself for those sprayers. The ones that Carlos (Nica) has look pretty nice and I'd like to get some sort of verdict to see if they're really worth all that money from Ditchek.com. Again, I know, they are just sprayers after all but it would put me at ease to know for sure what's the best buy for all of us.

I bought mine from Lowes and Home Depot. They're the green garden sprayer and it works quite well. I think it was around $7 for it too
