A Quick update on the Family Dollar Sprayers

Last May I posted about some pump up sprayers from Family Dollar. The thread is here.

Today, one of them started leaking at the mold seam on the bottom. A small pinhole spray when pressurized.
It has had S&W in it since last May and is not left pressurized. So far it is the only one, but??????
 
Keep us posted Charles. I'm curious to see if the others start to leak too. Thanks for the update.

:cool::dcrules clone chewed piece of gum. started chewing @ 0700. chewed till 1530, started to lose its flavor. "i'm pissed". I fill like i didn't get clones $$$ worth... ever happen 2 u ???? :cool: :dcrules charles, clone thinks he has found someone cheaper than clone. :cool: :dcrules go buy more from family dollar.(clone owns F.D.STOCK)
 
I just spotted a small crease/leak on one of my unopened Collinite 845 bottles. So I suppose it could happen to any plastic bottle.
 
Since only the one has been a problem, I'm not ready to give up on them just yet.

As an aside, I did purchase another pump up sprayer today at Menard's for $7. It won't hold pressure and will be going back. :wall
$2.50 or $7 doesn't seem to be the deciding factor.
Other than the nuisance of the leak, $2.50 a season isn't all that bad. :D
 
I just bought a 1 gallon grab-N-spray pump up sprayer and it works great, picked it up at Walmart for $9 been using it for self mixed clay lube(car wash and water). It is very convenient.

I did buy a replacement at Family Dollar. They are $3 this year.
FWIW, The one with Meguiar's APC at 10:1 seems to get a little corrosion or residue around the spray nozzle. A couple of swipes with an old tooth brush once in awhile takes care of it. The S&W doesn't seem to cause that problem.
They still seem like a handy thing to have a few of around.
