Chapin 1480 Made in The USA 3.5 Gallon Industrial Funnel Top General Duty Tri-Poxy Steel Tank Sprayer with Brass Wand, Blue

I surface sports courts for my company, so I use this to spread acid as a base before spreading the material. It spreads super well, is heavy duty, and has worked great. It is a lot cheaper than the other options that I have found and works just as good.

I had used a metal sprayer earlier while working in family businesses. The plastic one today don't have a consistent spray and are just plain cheap. This is 1 gallon more that those plastic ones and suites my needs to kill grass and wate4r bugs here in Columbia, SC. Great product, brass sprayer tips and even spray.The only caveat is that you cannot see the liquid level due to no level gauge in the metal. So, get a bucket with measuring lines in it and let her rip!! Sorry, no pics as I am writing this rom my desk and the sprayer is out in the storage building. Everyone knows what a sprayer is!!

Like others, mine came with a big dent in the side. I had my fence to restain and didn't have time to send it back. I used it anyway. As I pumped it up, the dent popped out most of the way. I used Stain & Seal oli based cedar fence stain. Some said not recommended, but I gave it a shot. I used the yellow tip and it worked well. The filter clogged at around 7 gallons out of 10 that I sprayed through it. I just disassembled the nozzle and washed out the white filter with hot water, a pipe cleaner and a safety pin. It worked perfectly again after that.

I live in a condo with very strict rules, and there isn't anywhere you can hose off your car. The problem is I have two beautiful classic cars that I just will not take to an automated car wash (if you love your car, you'll understand what I mean). Unfortunately, when I moved in, I was only thinking of the garage, not of the car washing!This has been an excellent tool for washing my car. I fill it up with water and with no-rinse wash (https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-NR2010Q-Rinse-Wash-Shine/dp/B00D8DR0AO), and I hardly miss using a garden hose to wash my cars. This isn't too powerful, and it works just well enough that if you use it regularly, your cars will stay pristine. Eco-friendly, too, since you aren't wasting water.I haven't used this for chemicals or anything of the like, but it's the perfect size for what I need, and it's very sturdy and well-made. Helps that it's made in the USA, too. For $75 and all the usage it gets, it's absolutely worth it to me, and I recommend anyone who lives in a condo, townhouse, apartment, etc. in the same boat to try using this product for car washing.

The wand broke today while trying to clip it on the wand holder after spraying Captain Jack's (which is an excellent product btw). Wand feels like to was brass, but maybe not...not sure. Never seen brass do this. $100 for a sprayer with a junky wand. On Chapin website they have a $20 wand (assuming its the one that came with this sprayer) and a $79 wand. I have had this for 2 years...so hoping I can get a replacement wand for free. Doubtful though. If you buy it, be prepared and have a back up wand.Update 9/24: Just when I thought this couldn't disappoint more, it did! It no longer holds pressure, there is a leak from the pump area...no matter how tight I screw it, it still leaks air. It is rusted in the area, I assume it has to do with that. Overall, I would avoid this one like the plague. Not sure if there are better options out there.

I drive an asphalt truck and we use sprayers to apply diesel or whatever to our tail end to make our lives easier and the police happier. I have gone through 7 sprayers in the last year, 3 different kinds, most of which were given to me by the company which they paid something over $10 each for. Garbage in weeks, sometimes days. This one cost significantly less than the garbage ones did when added up, works well, is holding up a month later which is unheard of, and even though I spent my own money on it, I feel like it was money well spent.EDIT: Top seal failed. Pieces separated requiring TOOLS to unscrew the actual threaded piece. This actually happened in the 4th week. No replacement parts available that I can find. Lasted about a week longer than the $10 plastic version. Sorry for forgetting to update this sooner. Sprayer is utterly useless at this point

There's a hole in the too of the pump thag rocks and dirt fall down in there and messes up the plunger.

I bought this in the hopes that I'd be able to more efficiently wash my vehicle in my town home, where I have no access to a hose. Living in the northeast, with salt on the roads frequently, I like to keep the salt off the car to prevent rust. I bought this product in an attempt to allow me to wash my car in the driveway, without a hose. For that, it works great.The metal tip works similar to something like a Rubbermaid spray bottle, where the tighter it is, the more spread the spray pattern is. As you loosen it you get a more focused beam. I'm able to get some quite respectable power behind the beam to knock off dirt and grime, and the long wand allows me to point under my vehicle to knock out any accumulation there.I mix in a non-sudsy car wash soap into the tank (optimum no rise) and mix that up. For this purpose, it's excellent, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who needs to be able to wash their vehicles far from a hose, or on the go.
