His spray pattern is off, this isn’t about being a keyboard warrior. He needed to increase his pressure to eliminate the tails on his pattern. WE need to know if the sprayer is capable of running at high enough pressure to eliminate the tails or not. We can only assume from this video that the sprayer is incapable of running a clean spray pattern. Seriously, next time don’t kill a product your advertising for by having someone incapable operating it.
Good review. I just bought a Wagner 3500 for $158 at Lowe’s. Once I dialed it in, it work’s beautifully. It is a little heavy if you have the vessel filled to the max, but man… certainly worth the money for DIY.
I like it. I have a tendency to cut everything in and roll the rest. The sprayers spook me inside of a building do to the over spray. I need a small unit that is accurate. Thanks for the information Rob !!!!!
What's the longest extension you can use? Or can U stack them? I'm doing a barn so quality isn't a big deal, just trying to not have to rent a special ladder to get to the top. I'd probably need 5-6' maybe. 😬
Thanks for this review! Just ordered a pair of m1’s, the slightly smaller model, open box for $150/ea with plans to make them dedicated units i leave loaded with primer for a small cabinet shop. Heck of a deal.
Spend $900 and get a proper small piston-powered instead of a diaphragm. These take "for ever" to built pressure, and do not last. No, absolutely no pro would use these. Yes, the piston ones are more expensive, but if you use it for more than ten gallons a month, it is no comparison.
This is for people like myself that might only use it a handful of times throughout their life for a few small to midsize jobs, fences, cabinets, maybe a house once or twice. I am getting one to paint my fence and some kitchen cabinets, it will more than pay for itself and doesn't need to be the ultimate, it is not likely I will ever need it for more than 25-50 gallons. I know there are even cheaper options but I want something with a bit of power for making quick work of some mid size jobs using thicker paint, plus I like some of the features it has for the price. stand, 50 ft hose, swivel gun, hose clean... This is a good option for someone like me.
@@ericmichel3857 You are right, it is just that I am one of those, "Pay once, cry...less" guys. I forget ALL the times I buy the "good enough" tools that I do not use professionally :) Actually, when I started painting (professionally) I bought what I could afford, a Campbell Housefield with a diaphragm, and I had it for two years, doing whole houses with it. And for that kind of volume, it definitely was more aggravation and expense than it was...NOT worth. It is just that, over the years I have seen how MANY Graco/Wagner are returned to stores, by homeowners, and after talking to many customers of mine who hired me because they just couldn't deal with working with these sprayers, that I now exclusively recommend the metal-piston ones. They even have them at Harbor Freight for around $500, but I don't know of the quality, even thought they look exactly like the Graco. Still, for what you describe, you are absolutely right to get one of these.
The guy spraying… his pattern is tripping my OCD. please teach him how to spray
Everyone’s an expert on the keyboard, Ben’s a welder by trade.
I need advice on welding… get him on camera to give tips on welding.

Use a ladder

This is not a pro sprayer by any means, I hope I was clear in the review

@@ericmichel3857 Did you buy this sprayer? If so, how did it work for you?
