That does look neat! It looks similar to the "air-osol" cans used by some companies, or even like olive oil pump sprayers, but sturdier. I wonder if it`s all metal?

I saw that too and ordered four since they were at half price.

Seems kinda cool at first glance but let me ask... why use this and have to pump it up when you can just as easily use a trigger spray? What makes this better?

[sneek]

hmm i am very interested! has anyone ever tried one of these?

DFTowel, the original poster has arthritis and found this much easier on the hands.

He also didn`t like the fact that some sprayer heads were very inconsistent with misting. With the aerosol can, it came out perfectly.

I used to use these when i was racing r/c cars to "jet" off the grime, nitro, oils, dirt etc. It comes with serveral nozzles(jet,mist, etc), the mist nozzle is actually pretty "fine". I used a hand pump with it and it did get tedious pumping it between uses. You arthritis sufferers better have a foot pump or a compressor.

So has anyone ACTUALLY used one of these? I had one in my hand at Harbor Frieght the other day all ready to buy it, but decided to put it back on the shelf since I was a bit skeptical....

Oh yea i forgot to add, they are cheaply made and dont expect every one you get to work(not leak). I had to exchange two before I got a working one. This was 3 years ago, they might be better now, but I seriously doubt it.

Compressors aren`t that rare i`m sure one could be located somewhere:rolleyes:

[blackcarwoes]

But is everyone going to have a compressor while detailing a client`s car?

We have 2 of them. One has penetrating oil (wd 40) in it and the other has parts cleaner fluid.
We`ve had them for years with out any real problems. They don`t get used all that often but work well. We use ann air compressor to charge them.

That kinda cool. I had the opertunity to visit a harborfreight store when I went to N. Carolina. I felt like a kid in a candy store. I dropped $80 in a flash and it would have been more if they wern`t closing. You can find alot of stuff their dirt cheap.
