Chapin Xtreme 3.5 Gallon Tri Poxy Industrial Concrete Open Head Handheld Tank Sprayer with Tri Lock Seal, 4 Inch Wide Mouth Opening, and Lock On, Red

This product works beautifully. I used it to spray patterned/stamped concrete patio about 700 square feet and it took me about 30 minutes including one refill. The entire process was a lot easier than originally thought. The spray was even and effortless. The sprayer is well made. The plastic holder to hold the sprayer wand is a bit flimsy.I had difficulty getting the sprayer pump to close and lock properly. That was not an issue with the sprayer but the instructions in the user manual. The user manual had instructions on how to close and lock the pump, but no explanation on the possible causes and steps to get it close and lock properly if it ran in to issues. I wasted an hour or so trying to fix the problem. I finally gave up and was almost ready to ship the unit back as being defective. The next day, I took it to a rental store renting the similar unit and the technician got it working within 30 seconds. The manual should include Frequently Asked Questions section and include this common issue.Another item to expand in the user manual is about cleaning the sprayer. The manual says to clean with water only. However, the rental store told me that you can use xylene or paint thinner or water depending on the solvent in the spray material you are using. I have not confirmed this with the manufacturer. However, the manufacturer can include better description about cleaning fluid and explicitly include/exclue other cleaning fluids.Since this is late in the season, I will try the sprayer on other spray applications next season and see how versatile this sprayer is. However, it worked beautifully for the main application I bought this sprayer for.

Just used it to apply degreaser to 5,000 sqft concrete -- AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT! I was blown away by the quality as soon as I took it out of the box. Construction is beautiful. Viton brass nozzles (1 GPM and 1/2 GPM); long brass wand; brass trigger; brass barrel tube (for the pump) and corrosive-resistant interior. Durable steel tank and heavy-duty paint job.PERFORMANCE:-Super strong pump handle and spin-lock collar. Unlike other designs, this allows you to pump without accidentally unlocking the whole pump cylinder. Simple but brilliant.-3.5 gallons is perfect for spraying most areas. It doesn't weigh a ton, but you still get enough volume to avoid frequent refills. My whole job took exactly three canisters (50 minutes). Filled weight is 40 lbs; 10 lbs empty.-Large mouth with flanges lets you fill quickly. If you need to dilute, there are measuring grooves inside and out of the canister for easy measuring. No straining your eyes with those useless "see thru" gauges.-Excellent spray consistency for an unregulated sprayer. After the initial fill and pump, I only had to re-pump once.-Nice spray pattern, owing to the quality brass nozzles. What a difference over plastic!-Made in "America?" Whoever these people are, they build nice stuff. Don't bother looking for this at bLowes's or Home Despot.-Minor complaint: The wand/spare nozzle holder is somewhat flimsy plastic. It's awkward to use, because the hose is heavy-duty and fairly stiff. Still, it's better than nothing (which is what most other sprayers offer).If you're tired of toy poly sprayers with bum nozzles, inconsistent pressure and triggers that get stuck in the open position...buy this! It's an amazing value, considering that it will probably last longer than you.

I have never used a canister sprayer before and I needed one to spray my weed killer. I decided to buy one that look like it would last for a while and had good reviews. So you might think that I went overboard with buying something like this to spray weeds. The sprayer came in a box with all the included accessories (brass 0.5 gpm nozzle and 1.0 gpm nozzle, the brass wand, hose, and plastic holder). I didn't see an instruction booklet so I decided to learn on the go (maybe the instructions were written on the box? I don't know since the box is trashed). It was easy to use but since it was my first time, I had a bit of difficulty (had to turn completely counterclockwise to unlock and so that it fits in the proper lock setting). The spray is very even except towards the end when you are running out of the mixture as it starts making a burst of mist rather than an even linear spray. The handle on top is how you create the pressure to spray out the mixture (unlock the handle and pull it up and push it back down repeatedly until you feel a good amount of resistance then lock it). I usually spray everything in the canister out and then keep it spraying to de-pressurize the tank before I unlock the top. I didn't have any problems but the product and it looks like it should last me for a very long time. I should mention, when I looked through accessories, I had thought they forget to include the 0.5 gpm nozzle (it was attached to the wand) and called them. They gave me two new 0.5 gpm nozzles in the mail within two days. That is customer service (even though it was my fault for not looking carefully)! That is a company I would do business with again.

I bought this to spray oil base sealer on my concrete curbing. Using a brush and roller is a pain in the ....s and very slow.First I wouldn't buy this for commercial use. I bought it to use around the house. The spray handle is cheaply made it's not solid, has a lot of play and it's just "cheap" to me.Just got finished with spraying my curbing with Eagle clear oil base sealer. First let me tell you I tried a cheaper sprayer and they won't spray the sealer I am using, this sprayer will. The job is so easy and quick and covers great. You have to pump it up quite a bit to get enough pressure for a good even spray. Oh yea I used the .5 nozzle which was a perfect fan spray for the curbing. The 1.0 nozzle fan sprays twice the distance as the .5 nozzle.Cleaning the sprayer I used Jasco lacquer thinner made for cleaning sprayers purchased from Lowes. Poured 1/2 gallon in sprayer shook it up then sprayed to cleaned. I sprayed it back into the Jasco can so I can reuse it again.

We sealed our patio. It was easy to use and clean. Seems like a good product. We don’t have to use it again for two years so hopefully we cleaned it well enough.

Bought for sealing concrete. Great quality. Great instructions. Made the job easier. Cleaned with xylene as recommended. Would buy again.

Je l'ai acheté pour appliquer du scellant sur des entrées en pavé. Produit d'excellente qualité !

Came as expected . Product was easy to work and did a great job. I highly recommend this product from this supplier

Would be a great North American.... product if you included a proper O-Ring.Typical black o-ring provided with a clear cover that was about 1/4 inch to small in circumference- the sprayer obviously won't seal, and of course won't spray and was a waste of my time to mess around with electrical tape (all that I had at the time) to confirm a make-shift seal. Next to find a proper o-ring size/width on my own time. The clear cover may have made the seal if it was full circumference, but why not use the proper o-ring?Get it together Chapin, don't pride yourself in marketing a North-American product if you can't even get the O-ring right.
