Picked up 2 of these today, not used them on a job yet but testing them at home they spray great.

They come with a good quality lance with a 2 jet head  which really puts the prespray down quick.

I don't know how they compare to others but if it lasts  it looks a good buy.

[Paul Moss]

On different and better ones now Mike. I bought a couple of these a few years back, work ok but make sure you seal them with silicone as the water gets down them when filling and shorts it out.

[Mike Halliday]

Paul which ones you using?

Was thinking of getting the mastic gun out for the seal, as I've heard before they are prone to getting water in.......but I thought that was with the ones sold from window cleaners warehouse

[Simon Gerrard]

We've been using those for a good few years now. They can be temprimental especially if water gets in. Drill a few holes in the base to let any moisture out. You can get the pumps fairly cheaply and is worth get a few in stock.

I've still got mine from WCW its about 3-4 years old it's had a leak or 2 easily fixed though I did change the lance but that was down to my preference.

I got the Bogboy from WCW a few months ago but it has been a bit temprimental too. Too many bells and whistles these days which means there is more to go wrong. The ones I've got from wcw are years old and are a p of p to fix as there is only a pump, a switch and a battery.

[Paul Moss]

Mike these are the ones I have been using the last two years, they are made better so no water gets into the mechs, twin speed, and adjustment flow,light meter, charge lasts months.
Also miles cheaper

They do look a good price. The same set of jets as well, although the lance on mine looks more heavy duty with a brass tap instead of a trigger.

There is quite a selection on ebay, I did see cheaper but this place was 30mins away and stocked every spare part needed, plus they tend to honour the guarantee when you are stood in their warehouse.......rather than talking to them on the phone from 150mls away

[maxcampbell]

Why do people use these for pre-spray, rather than in-line? Especially if you're truck mount. It must be slower. We put a y piece in the solution hose & spray from that - what am I missing out on?

[Mike Halliday]

But that's more hassle, 2 separate solution lines, to set up and pull about.

I have a Hydraforce in the van but I prefer to prespray, scrub then set up the solution line while its dwelling. Plus when my son helps out he can be prespraying while I clean.

In some ways it's just personal preference.

I'd like one of these but for upholstery,

[Paul Moss]

Over kill for uph

[Paul Moss]

This is what I use for uph

[derek west]

awwww bugga, thought a good battery sprayer would be okay.  hate pump ups.

[Paul Moss]

One pump up fill is enough for spraying 2 suites, plus its light so carry it on your shoulder easily . You can use electric if you can get a seperat lance and cut it down for uph, I used to do that but was aper swapping it, much easier with a small pump up with uph sprayer, easier for protector as well

[Kev Loomes]

Same as Paul. For UPH I just use a normal pump up, with a cut down lance - using an 8002. Perfect.

[Mike Halliday]

Same gun, different container. Like Kev you need the 80 degree fan jet other wise you spray half the room as well as the suite

[Mike Halliday]

Just used the sprayer to protect a through lounge and large hallway. On full power it soon puts the protector down and the double jet lance is quite long & precise......so I did'nt spray halfway up the wall

[garybristow]

Max,I'm truck mounted, you can do all your spraying without running the tm saves on juice and noise

I have also been using the one that Paul Moss has, i have had several different one and this is by far the best so far.
I hardly use my inline sprayer these days. saves fuel, prespray is dwelling whilst setting up truckmount,  just so much easier. On large jobs people can go to the next floor whilst you finish another. I also have difficulty in mixing some of my recipes into a 4 ltr concentrate as well, so it does save a lot of time. I do attach a different spray wand for upholstery though but still use the battery sprayer, handy when doing a lot of upholstery or curtains.
