SOLO, 418-2L, 2 Liter One-Hand Pressure Sprayer, Red and White

Solo 418-2L 2-Liter One-Hand Pressure Sprayer Pros: - container is tough, thick, hard, nylon-type material. Rap it with your knuckles and it goes "thock". Opening is about 1.5" in diameter for easy filling. - nozzle end easily adjusts up or down. E.g., to spray vertically, point the nozzle up rather than pointing the unit up. - at the nozzle's mist setting, liquid goes about 4' and disperses to a foot in diameter at 3' from the nozzle. The mist is so fine, it almost disappears. - nozzle can be adjusted from that mist setting to a 1/16" diameter stream which can be shot up to 30'. - with the container ½ full (one liter), once air pressure is attained, most of that liter can be sprayed before needing to pump again. It sprays for quite a long time before needing to pump again. - comes with a translucent, and removable, "cup" that attaches to the nozzle assembly; this catches excess liquid when spraying vertically and offers drift protection. - ergonomics are excellent. It has a comfortable main handle, pump handle, nozzle adjustment, trigger, etc. - chemically resistant construction allows use of cleaners, fertilizers, pesticides, weed control, bleaching agents, etc. This was important to me since parts of our previous sprayer of this size dissolved with bleach cleaners. - very lightweight; most of the weight when using, is the liquid you put in the tank. Cons: - with a ½ full tank, about 50 [quick] strokes on the pump handle will attain good pressure. That takes about 20-25 seconds of pumping. With 2 liters, it takes about 30 strokes. - container rocked slightly on it's 4 molded-in feet. Application of a thin stick-on felt pad on the shortest foot fixed that. Other: - This model has a short (3.5") wand. The 419-2L has a 9.5" wand and the 420-2L has a 23" wand, but otherwise are identical to the 418-2L. - As with most sprayers, it can't be used with acid, caustic liquids, potentially injurious chemicals, or flammable liquids such as gasoline. Summary: This is a well engineered hand sprayer at a reasonable cost. Significantly better than the comparably sized units we previously bought at Home Depot and Lowes...

I bought my first one in 2013 and due to neglect (leaving them out here and there), I eventually had to throw it away. But it worked great for many years. Now that I started gardening and especially planting seeds in 2x2 cells and 4-6" pots, I needed a way to mist or wet the cells easily without relying on the spigot outside. It's also great to spray other content if need be to control bugs as well. The size is just large enough I can do the job in one shot but not too heavy. I've had 1-2 gallon sprayers and I end up using both hands and never use the whole thing at once so this 2-liter or 1/2 gallon size is perfect. Guessing it's around 4-5 lbs full weight so just keep that in mind if you don't want anything in that weight range. The nozzle can mist and spray a jet with a twist of the nozzle tip and the clear nozzle cone does keep the misting more precise. No leaking and love the red locking tab if I'm spraying for a few minutes non-stop in misting mode. The pump is also very easy to press up & down. Very smooth operation. The handle is thick! There's nothing cheap about this. The price has gone up since 2013 like almost everything but still worth every penny IMO.

This is the best sprayer that I have purchased. Even though it's small, it does everything I need! I love the way you can point the nozzle to exactly where you want it, and you can adjust the spray from a fine spray to a straight line. This is a keeper and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a sprayer.

I love everything about this spray device. Cleaning it is easy, there is barely any leakage, and its very functional. I bought it two years ago and its still working strong so that speaks for its durability. I use it for misting my reptile and arthropod enclosures. The Zoomed and Reptizoo break very fast and are not great and this beats them by a million miles.

I used this a lot last summer. I use it to apply liquid organic fertilizer - fish emulsion. It is really easy to use and while I thought about using a backpack, this was inexpensive and I thought a simple design that might perform well for a long time. It's not heavy to carry when full and the spray part worked very well. Easy to pump it. I suppose it would be more convenient to fill once and walk around with a backpack, but for a small garden, this is fine and did not disappoint.

I have gone through so many sprayers for my horse! This one is awesome. Have the shield on the nozzle which gives a nice even spray, makes no noise even when pumping, I spayed my entire horse never had to pump again, and the best part…. It has a LOCK on spray mode, never had to hold down the button. It’s light, easy to use and so far best sprayer I’ve had in years.

I like it! Works well!

Great little sprayer with a very fine mist of a spray. Love being able to change the angle of the spray too. It's just a little heavier than I thought it would be, but that's because the reservoir is made of very heavy duty plastic.

Muy buen producto, me gustó mucho, cumplióis expectativas

Good product. Works well

Pro quality materials and operation, at $24 it’s worth every penny. This from a company that makes nothing else but sprayers so you know they’ve got the expertise. Plus replacement parts are available for all Solo products, unlike the cheap Chinese origin sprayers that need to be discarded if they fail.

Buen producto y calidad
