I don't know why it's so hard for some reviewers to simply state their opinion and substantiate, and you did both, even with a table-full of options. Thank you. I'm off in search of sprayers by D.B. Smith.
Thank you. I appreciate it. Glad we could help.
I just bought a Chapin sprayer, however, it came with a warning that it can contain lead and DEHL. Is that true and would it be safe to water my vegetable garden with it? Thanks
I would not worry about it.
99% of solutions you mix for use in a sprayer of any kind have a very short life once mixed, so there is no use in mixing more than you need and to keep stored in the sprayer weeks/months. Yes. it is more work to have to mix your solution every time you use a sprayer and then to clean it out after every use, but this is how you do it if you want your solutions to be most effective and if you want your equipment to last as long as possible.
What do you think about a STIHL pump sprayer? Would it be worth $71. I'm so frustrated because I've had so many bad pump sprayers. It is my understanding that if you want something to never break to buy a STIHL.
I have never used the STIHL. I love the Chapin Pro. That is the one I continue to purchase and add to my collection. I even recently tried a Solo with no luck. Chapin Pro is the best.
@@CountryLivingExperience Where can I get one? Would Rural king or Menard's have one?
This is the one we use...amzn.to/3yVmlGb. I don't think those stores have them
@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks I'm going to order one. I hopefully have the receipt from my Scott's Sprayer so I can take it back to home Depot.
Thanks. Just ordered the DB Smith based on this video. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I bought 3 gallon
Anything HDX sucks :)
You do a pretty good job on the video. BUT you are all over the place. To the left, to the right, left, center, left, right, in out. You should say the good and bad on each sprayer, one at a time from left to right, are right to left.
Great, quick comparison. Just what I wanted.
Wow a lot of those sprayers must really be junk. I'm using an original spectracide one gallon pump sprayer that was only made to be used once. I've been using it now for over 10 years and it's still working.....the hose and nozzle is still fine😊
Most of the new ones are junk except the Chapin and DB Smith.
Never heard of D B Smith but checked them out as you were talking and I think I’ll order one to try! Thanks for introducing me to this brand. I have two Chapin and like them but both have stopped holding pressure even though I clean them and lubricate them. The kits to repair any sprayer cost almost as much as a sprayer! Seems like they want us to toss the old and buy new. I am going to try adding a valve to one if mine so I can add pressure that way instead. Have you done this to any if your sprayers?
Honestly the Chapin turned out to be the best one in the long run. I still like the DB Smith but not as much as that Chapin.
I did a video on the fix for pressure loss but it was just about lubricating and replacing the seals. Those fixes have both always worked for me.
beautiful video, so good, subscribed.
nice video 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 👍

I just bought a one gallon Chapin. It is crap, cheaply made, and doesn't work.
I am surprised. The 2 gallon Chapin I have is one of my best.
@westbender 820 That could be a problem. Send it back for a new one.
Do you know which one you would recommend for precision? I want to spray some weeds in my garden without hitting any of the good plants I want to keep
At this price point, nothing. It all depends on the nozzle. A more expensive one like a Chapin Pro will offer a brass nozzle that is more precise.
Love your review and advice. All the way Down Under, here in Australia. 4yrs later are you still using the same sprayers in the video, or have you upgraded? Would love to see a video comparing brand new to 1-2yr old sprayers. Cheers mate, keep up the good work with the videos you put out.
I can find the Ironton sprayer here but found the "Chapin" and "DB Smith" 1-gallon versions. Can't find Ironton here but have found the 'Chapin' 1gallon 20000 garden sprayer for roundabout 25$ USD (38$aud), The DB Smith Bleach/Chemical Sprayer 1gallon for 130$usd (195$aud). I Think I'm going to grab a Chapin.
I appreciate it.
I have narrowed it down to the Chapin sprayers. They seem to hold up the best over time and are easier to fill. I particularly like the Chapin Pro 2 gallon. It is about $50usd.
Thanks for this info dude. Northern Tool just got a new customer because of this video.
You’re welcome
I find that the 2 gal. sprayers you find that are made by Fountainhead Group and branded with either Roundup, Scotts or Ortho are very good quality for the price point ($25-30) and parts are not expensive. The downside is they have no pressure Release Valve. But they are solidly built, take less pumps to pressurize the tank and have good pressure for an inexpensive pump sprayer. However it is not rated for bleach, acids, sealers or any caustic substances.
Thanks it looks like you're full of great information. For example I find it very useful to know that orange oil is good for awful resistant bugs in the garden and Japanese wood burning is something I never heard of but I think more people should know about it. Sounds like a great and eco-friendly way of avoiding plastic siding
Thank you for the kind comment. I am glad you were able to gain a lot from the video. The Japanese wood burning is one of my favorite things. It works really well for a lot of applications.
the home depot one sucks ass , all I care about is which one will put the most product out of the end of the thing
Chapin makes the best
Is there a seller that sells a flat 360 degree spray head? the typical spray head does not get to the underside/backside of the leaves and I have a terrible problem of leaf hopper on my grapes. the grapes grow against a fence so I can't get to the back side to spray for them. I saw a sprayer once that sprayed 360 deg, so you could stick the spray head behind the vines and it would spray all around the back side. Help!
I read lots of reviews on sprayers, almost all are made by same company and get mixed reviews. The Harbor Freight pump actually had better reviews! I bought one, have used it once now to spray deck sealer. Pumped up easily, had a nice wide funnel like top on it, and did not leak. Only thing I wish it had was a fan shaped spray, instead of a round stream. Price was only $14.99 for 2 gallon sprayer.
Any advice on the heaviest flow output? Need to spray weed killer but the sprayers i have used just take sooooo long to cover an area as its just a disappointing mist.
I would jump up past this price range then. They are just too small to give a good volume of spray. I have a 2 gallon Chapin Professional that has a great flow rate. It was about $40. amzn.to/2ZC8rqi

how much
Chapin 1 gallon is only $10 on Amazon. Is that a fake?
That sounds like it is fake.....unless it is on a special sale.
You are right! Greenwood sprayer of HarborFreight is junk!
I found Green Thumb 62192 GT Back reliver sprayer very useful and longer lasting….!
Have you tried any of the battery operated sprayers ? Good comparison. Thanks
I haven't tried them. I honestly never saw the need unless it is a large sprayer mounted on an ATV.
I have a 2 gal Decks & More pump sprayer and after about a year of use, it would no longer spray even under pressure. I sent the company an email through a contact form on their site and they sent out a replacement hose and handle without ever responding to me. I honestly thought they were just ignoring me or didn't get my message but I got it a couple weeks later. It works okay but I wouldn't recommend it or ever buy another. I recently bought a 1 gal from Southern States (not sure the brand but it was $10) and here we are a couple months later and water comes out through the top and sits in the funnel when under pressure because part of the pump broke that you tighten on top. That's why I'm here today, to find a better replacement. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
Glad our video was helpful. Sorry to hear about the bad quality sprayers you had gotten in the past. I sure have been through a ton of them myself......especially those garbage Home Depot hdx sprayers.
Great information. Thank you!
You’re welcome
Hands Down.. B & G.
Not even in the same price range. These are a comparison of sprayers in a similar and tight price range.
Bessy!! Lmao I know that's not the cows name. But my first thought on the cow. 😂😂
Good comparison presentation 👍 ! What sprayer would be best to use for washing cars? I'm not buying an expensive power sprayer.
Thank you. Not sure if you can get the type of pressure you will need to wash a can from one of these sprayers. The best I can think of is a higher capacity backpack style sprayer with a handle that helps with continuous pumping.
I too am looking for the right model for cleaning jobs - I don't have access to a hose- but I want to be able to wash down my bike/trash-cans/boots etc.
New subscriber...🎉
Welcome
Marolex or Chapin?
Chapin
@@CountryLivingExperience thank you 👍
Thank you! In your next video can you show us how to unclog them?
Hdx is horrible. Hose ruptured back to back after exchanging for new one. I spent $40 on a 2 gallon DeWalt and it's a work of difference
Yep. The quality difference is great between all those brands.
What model # Chapin/DB smith? There is a few different ones.
The Chapin is 20020 and the DB Smith is 190285. After more years of use, the Chapin is better for this size of sprayer. Even the larger models of Chapin are better now in my opinion.
Ask Bruce to know how to use a sprayer that's a good education.
Do you need to pump the DB smith sprayer a lot...?...i wish i would have come across this video before buying the Harbor freight sprayer...i have to pump that a lot....Also the same Q for the Chapin...do you need to pump that a lot....?
Also is there a more powerful sprayer you could recommend. to cover a large lawn area...?
....Thank you,...
Hello. The number of pumps depends on how open the nozzle is and how much you are spraying out of it, so it is really hard to say. I have upgraded to the Chapin Pro 2 gallon which is much better. For a lawn, maybe a pull behind sprayer for a riding lawn mower would be best but I don't know how big your lawn is.
I don't know who makes my "Roundup" 2 gallon pump sprayer but it has outlasted others as I keep several on hand, 2 and 1 gallon, to lessen the risk of cross contamination. Spray nozzle is fan only and NOT adjustable for stream.
Interesting
My RoundUp sprayer continuously clogs up even after unclogging. Cheap sprayer too...and in the trash. I think the one gallon ones are better than the two gallon ones.
I agree the RoundUp sprayers are garbage as well. I have never had an issue with a 2 or 3 gallon sprayer of a good reputable brand.
Mine too.
Harbor freight pump sprayer are cheap composition. I bought a pole chainsaw 120 volt and it has paid for itself. Like you said just not quality, that's why I'm looking at your video. Thanks.
For sure. Glad the video was helpful.
HDX😢
Yes. They are terrible.
I bought a GILMOUR two gallon sprayer (probably 10 years years ago)got very good service from it. Been trying to buy another one but from what I’ve been told the company has been sold.
Glad you had good luck with Gilmour. I have never seen them sold around here.
Question. Is this the D.B. Smith model that you rec in the video? (they make a lot of diff ones and your video didn't show the front!) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YNSADU/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER I love my "I Must Garden" deer repellent (least smelly) but I am so tired of it clogging up sprayers!! Want to try a D.B.Smith for it. And am buying another Chapin for spraying Bonide Fung-onil on day lilies newly suffering from leaf streak. Am I on the right track?
Yes, that is the same sprayer. Make sure you clean it out after every use so that whatever chemical you use does not build up inside and gum up the sprayer mechanism. You are on the right track for sure.
My hdx sprayer pump handle broke on me in two months of service... talking about the 1 gallon .
They are junk for sure.
Practice out loud once before you video so that you are no trying to figure out what you are going to say while presenting. You had good information but you took way too long to present. One alternative is start out with the best top three or so then point out their attributes. Then list quickly the rest on order of performance. Practicing out loud ahead of time makes your content and you more credible. you could write down the order you are going to present and underneath each one list a couple of important points positive or negative. Think about them first, write them down in order, then practice out loud. Thanks.
RUclipsrs are regular folks with cameras that want to share information. RUclipsrs are not Hollywood directors or actors. That being said, I have improved and it is evident by my channel growth. Your criticism is not unwarranted but your expectations are too high for RUclips.
Which one shoots straight long ?
What would you recommend for spraying Kaolin clay on fruit trees? It can clog a Home Depot spray nossel.
I have never sprayed it before so I am unfamiliar with the consistency.
Just what I needed to know! My Walmart sprayer sucks. 😝
Glad it was helpful.
I plan to buy a RL Flo-Master Sprayer 1 Gallon Translucent White Polyethylene Tank. What you think?
While I do not own an RL sprayer, I have read that they have mixed reviews. Some people love them and some think they are junk. Chapin Pro are my favorite.
great video, very informative. Am looking for pump sprayer with greatest distance to spray pesticide to taller tree, 20-30 ft.
Thank you. The Chapin is the best. It will spray about 25'. The Chapin Pro is even better and will spray farther.
turn so brand name shows
Great info about the oils and chemicals, too. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for sharing. However the prices are much higher nowadays. I clicked the amazon links and found both cost more than forty dollars.
You're welcome. Yes, inflation is a killer.
Really glad you mentioned about the addition of a filter and wall thickness on the chapin as I am shopping around for one that will handle pressures and prevent clogging from the build up overtime when stored of calcium deposits and other drbris.
Glad it was helpful
@@CountryLivingExperience and i finally found one locally at a hardware store with a three gallon capacity. Works great.
@@gregggoldstein3449 Awesome
I fead reviews that said the filter easily clogged and could not be cleaned, so I did not buy that sprayer.
this was just terrible, should be renamed to "in my opinion". i saw no demo of the sprayer
Hahahah
Wish I saw this video before purchasing the HDX one
Sorry. Now you know for next time.
I almost bought HDX now I'll look somewhere else.
A real test would be to show ones that are dirty and been used a lot.
thanks, awesome video!.... i wash cars and houses for a living, i'm soooo tired of going thru tons of home depot pumps! Which pump would you recommend for degreaser daily and occasional bleach?
Thank you. Glad it was helpful. The DB Smith should handle more harsh chemicals easily. They make one specifically rated for bleach. I believe it has a few different internal parts that resist corrosion, etc.
@@CountryLivingExperiencewhere can I purchase?
Amazon. We have a direct link in the description below to the sprayer contained in Amazon store.
Here is a direct link. amzn.to/2EtTvkD
A back pack sprayer with a diaphgram pump will work well for you because piston pumps like all of these rely on the caustic or acidic solution touching the inside of the pump.
Solo makes a suitable back pack, labeled for "wetable powders " as these are also abrasive.
Can u point me out to the best one for commercial work,like house washing
These do not work for that purpose. Buy a pressure washer.
I bought a 2gallon round up commercial sprayer and I'm not getting it to spay
Yes, those are never a good quality. Try a Chapin or DB Smith.
I was looking forward to this video because you have quite the collection, however you lack descriptive detail. Could of described your custom brass setup. Still, I appreciate your opinions and thanks for sharing..
You're welcome.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful
You're welcome
Is the chapín homepro 4 gal backpack a good option?
I love all the Chapin sprayers. They are now my favorite.
Very informative video
Glad we could help.
I could design a way better unit than all of that junk.
Please let me be the first to try your design for free thanks.
Looking to make a camping shower and need one of these. Which would you recommend? Thank you
Not sure these would work for that. They sell outdoor sunshowers that are about the same price and are more effective.
great video , thanks but
i guess you missed the stainless steel air pump ?
I left it out because of it's price. This video is about sprayers that are under $50
you forgot to put the amazon links........
They are there now.
In reference to the 2 gallon Chapin Home Gardener sprayer.
Can you show a video on how to connect the spray hose to the bottle and how to operate the sprayer?
Just screw on the hose and wand then pump and spray. There are detailed instructions in the box.
@@CountryLivingExperience
I figured it out, but one of the fittings would not screw in all the way.
I'm looking for a sprayer that can handle horticultural vinegar (at 30%), salt, and a bit of dish soap - for stubborn grass/weeds (trying to get away from Roundup and the like). Do you have a recommendation that can stand up to the above without corroding valves?
I use that same solution. The DB Smith handles it the best. Just rinse it out afterward.
Thank you!
Are any of these sprayers still with us?
The Chapin sprayer is still going strong.
Like the video. So what spray patterns do these sprayers actually produce ... a wide mist, a line of spray or are they adjustable to various outputs? Thanks
All of them have adjustable nozzles and additional flat spray nozzles.
Did they all come from home depot?
No. Amazon, Home Depot, Tractor Supply.
have you ever tried the scotts pump sprayer with the twist knob sprayer?
Sorry, I have not.
Does the db smith come in a 2 gallon and is it just as good?
And do you have a link to the same db smithpump. The one on amazon is a different model.
They have a 2 gallon but the Chapin Pro 2 gallon is way better. Here is the link for that one: amzn.to/3GiaDYo. The Chapin screw top is way easier to manipulate, does not get stuck when using sticky substances, and has a much larger opening.
@@CountryLivingExperience Thank you for the answer! Also thank you to the person who asked the question.
I’m surprised that the hex pump is a bad one for you I’ve had mine for over a year without any problems and I use it for watering my indoor Cana garden. I even use it with my nutrients
Sometimes you get lucky
@@CountryLivingExperience I agree just figured if your a beginner gardener that pump should be fine to start with
Is the hdx one pretty good to use for spraying sealer on stamped concrete and tossing out? If not how about the Chapin deck sprayer?
I would use the Chapin. The HDX won't last very long at all. I used one to try to spray Thompsons Water Seal on my deck and it just would not do the job.
@@CountryLivingExperience Great, Thank you!
Back in 1988 I had bought a pressure wash franchise a year into it I fell into an opportunity where I needed a good heavy duty HVLP pump sprayer, "spray doctor" was by far the best. I could spray CWF all day long, clean it every time when finished and it lasted for years. Nothing has ever been better, not even close for the money, back then 18 $20 per unit. It was just built great. I'm thinking I must have pushed thousands of gallons of material through those Garden sprayers.
I haven’t seen that brand before. I wonder if they are still made.
@@CountryLivingExperience No, Spray doctor stopped manufacturing 25 yrs ago,, we Americans gave up our greatness to China...too save a couple bucks.
It seems a large minority of people really don't understand what the global consequences are to China and India bc global leaders in manufacturing. We saw it happen to Britain in the 20th century when America became a manufacturing leader.
Which model is that db smith?
That one is the 190285 1 gallon.
I just bought the small one at Wal-Mart and it don't work.the small one is a scam.the one from walmart.right this one won't hold the pressure
Go with the DB Smith or the Chapin. You won’t be disappointed. They haven’t failed me.
@@CountryLivingExperience thank you I will check it out.blessed day
the eye in the sky you’re welcome. Have a great day.
Great sparyer ,we are factory good quality too
Thanks, that was helpful.
You’re welcome
Chapin used to be great but in the last year they don't last. It's a shame that they are now junk.
Sorry to hear that. All of my old ones are still working great.
Get to already
They invented something really cool called the fast forward button.
Thanks. I am moving into an apartment and am looking for a sprayer to clean my bike, water only. Do you think they would have enough force? A pressure washer has too much pressure, which damage bearings, removing the grease. Force required is like squeezing a water bottle really hard. Would a sprayer be able to do that? I clean my bikes once a week or two. I bike more than i drive and keep them in good condition, especially when muddy.
I used to mountain bike and road cycle. This type of sprayer will work well and give the proper pressure.
@@CountryLivingExperience Looks like hdx is at home depot, but i have chapin at canadian tire. There is a 1g and 2g, but also a 2g pro (red writing on the bottle). I am assuming it is the standard chapin. The pro has a brass nozzle, the other does not. Thanks for your help!
You're welcome. Chapin pro all the way.
Ironton it is
Solid choice for the price.
My concern is on the tips. Most 5 gallon backpack sprayers let you change the tips. I only need a 1 gallon for a lot of jobs though, and would prefer a fan tip. Most come with a circular spray tip that I can't replace with a teejet or comparable fan tip nozzle though.
If you get the 2 gallon Chapin Pro, they come with multiple tips. I have not found a good 1 gallon that has additional tips.
@@CountryLivingExperience Ok, thanks. I'll check those out.
How far does the spray shoot on the expensive one? I want one to use under the house but not going to crawl down there
About 12 to 15 feet
@@CountryLivingExperience thank you
I cannot find an address for the powerfist product. Bought at princess Auto and they will not help ??
Sorry to hear that.
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
I've probably bought 10 different weed sprayers in 15 years and find the majority fail at the pump assembly. They last around 1-2 years and will gradually not hold their pump pressure.
Both my DB Smith and Chapin sprayers have lasted 3 so far and are going strong. All the others are junk and had the same problem you mentioned.
the rubber o ring seal in the pump is usually the culprit. best to take the pump apart before you put it away for the season and put some petroleum jelly on the o ring and on the rubber part at the bottom of the pump as they do tend to dry out when not used regularly.
if you treat each sprayer with a little maintenance before putting them away for the winter they will last a lot longer.
i bought one it didn’t last 2 days
This sprayer goes on the back of my Quad and has a solid unit that sprays the ground and if needed you can use the wand for other stuff. kindof expensive to buy another one just for the wand ??
I see. Maybe you can find some other branded wand to fit. Just buy one on Amazon and if it does not fit return it. Keep doing that until you find one that does fit.
Can I use this to wash off soap from rims if I dont have access to water hose . I live in a apartment. I got a parking spot . Was thinking to wash car or just rims on my parking spot .
It would work for rims but not for the whole car.
thanks man .
I just bought a 2 gallon chapin.
@@azimaslam6375 hows the chapin ? I want to get one to clean my wheels too.
@@CaliLifeStyle8o5 it worked out perfect.
The 2 gallon sprayer was enough to clean all 4 wheels .
Good investment. I can clean my car if I fill 2 or 3 times . 29$ not bad
I got mine from Canadian tire.
@@azimaslam6375 okay thanks
the pressure which one has more pressure over the other one???
They can all hold a similar amount of pressure depending on how much you pump it. All of the higher quality sprayers I mentioned will hold that pressure for a long amount of time without needing to be re-pumped.
Someone make a video connecting a tire valve to the sprayer container to pressurize with compressor for us lazy people..lol Actually I'm just curious to see it ;I've been meaning to do it but whenever I have the time I forget about it.
That is a cool idea. I might do it when I get the chance. I would have to put a disclaimer stating not to overfill it and explode the sprayer... lol.
@@CountryLivingExperience I did it to a fire extinguisher. So I could have a portable air tank. Also sprays far if you put water in it. small fire extinguishers I only pressurized to 100psi.
Nice!
