5 Litre Pressure Sprayer

Really good, makes job a lot easier

I've been through a few cheap sprayers that have leaked, lost pressure, or broken after a handful of uses, so I decided to invest in a trusted brand. This Spear & Jackson sprayer is worth every single penny and has completely changed my garden chores. The build quality is immediately noticeable. It feels robust and well-made without being overly heavy. The 5-litre capacity is the perfect size—large enough to tackle a big weeding or feeding session without being too cumbersome to carry. The best feature is the pump action mechanism. It pressurises with just a few easy pumps and maintains that pressure consistently until the tank is empty. The spray pattern is even and adjustable, and the lance is a great length for reaching under bushes without having to bend over. I've used it for applying weed killer, liquid plant food, and even for misting my greenhouse plants, and it has performed flawlessly every time. There are zero leaks, and it's easy to clean and store. dont bother with the cheap ones this is the one the seals always go on the cheaper ones i have had mine for over 2 years and going strong just remember to let the compression out after use and it will last

The first time I bought one of these I used it with sodium hypochlorite. It is not specifically designed for this but it worked a treat and got the job done. I should have cleaned it but when I went to try it again, it was all bunged up and pretty useless. I bought another, forgot I bought it (it's an age thing) and bought yet another, but this final one was leaking air. I almost sent it back but instead I donned my Sherlock deerstalker and went to town. O-ring was fine. Seated well and not noticeable issues, so I decided to check for sure and used my old one and it was still leaking, so that wasn't the issue. The next thing was the sprayer lead itself. I undone it and noticed that the tube that goes inside the unit came off like it was coated in butter. Again I turned to the old one and found that it was a tight fit. I swapped the parts, problem solved. Definitely a design fault in some models that need fixing. Are you listening S&J? Everything works fine, the adjustable spray, the pressure with no complaints whatsoever. I've just checked the other new one, still boxed, and the fit is also tight. Nevertheless, this is a potential flaw and deserves a star dropped. Overall a decent sprayer that has served me well but if you have an old one and decide to replace it remember, there might be some useful spare parts available. Update: on closer inspection the fault was a split in the tube that goes inside so that's 2 out of 3 that were perfect for the task.

Its a sprayer, it does what it is designed to do! Pump, pump, pump then spray, spray, spray until pressure drops which is when you just repeat and keep doing this until job completed.

Light weight, easy to use even when solution with water added. Great value for money.

It’s cheap and very cheerful works with no problems at all I used to spray 4 fence panels & two doors using Barrettine preserver I purchased a Cuprinol fence sprayer months ago but when I went to use it for the first time it would not work.I originally got this sprayer to use with Everbuild waterproofer with the intention of using this one solely for this purpose but with the failure of the much pricier one had no choice but to use it for the panels as well so to conclude this very cheap & cheerful sprayer did both tasks flawlessly there’s a moral to this story but for life of me I can’t figure it out. Jobs a good-un!

It looked good. And it is good, once you get it working properly. The one I received was filled with water and tested. It seemed to do the job, until...it stopped spraying water and started spraying air, even when the end of the supply tube was lying on the bottom of the tank. Eventually, I fround that the end of the supply tube, which had presumably been notched to facilitate its connention to the outlet adapter, had be split too far and as the tube moved around the split opened and closed causing air or water to be forced out. I hope the suppliers/manufacturers read this and get the right sized tubing for the adapter to avoid this happening to other users.

Updated 04/2024 - just to add to the below detailed review that this is still going strong in 2024! Had to do a minor repair to the pump tube (a bit of gorilla tape) as I caught it on a spade - but even with my small repair, this pump is still a great asset to my garden and other jobs! Please see below for full previous review! As with most of my reviews, I like to leave my comments after a period of use as I think that is a fair way to really test out and items durability - especially when it is being used a lot as I have with this spray. Bought back in August 2019 (almost a year ago) I can confirm this is a great pump spray that has lasted well and bee used many a time and with a little tweak could get to that 5 star it really deservers (see 'cons' below). Pros Solid Build - This has been banged around left, right and centrer - from garage, around the garden, to shed and more. No dents and I feel confident when storing liquid within it that it will be safely contained. Easy to use - I wish I could share more than one video to show the pump action and filling but you will just have to trust me that it is easy to use. Filling is not a problem as with the pumping itself. There is an air valve to release the pressure if required and you just turn and lock in the handle when pumping is complete. Good coverage from spray - You can tweak the spray to your liking which gives great targeted or wide coverage as you can see in the video. This is epically improtant if you are using chemicals such as weed killer. Filling guidelines - you can see from the pictures that there are measurement lines on the side which are large and clear to see and which is very important if needing to mix. Weight and pump lasting time - once filled the weight is actually not that bad at all and the spray time you get out of each pump is more than enough I think - this would depend upon the amount you are spraying out of the nozzle of course and the area to be covered. Cons - Okay so here is why I gave it 4 stars and although this does not hinder the use it really did annoy me at first so I like to be completely honest in my reviews. The strap. It goes over your shoulder fine and stays there mostly but it is a little annoying and doesn't always hold to the shoulder - shift round to the front or off the shoulder at times. This means that if it gets in the way or otherwise just becomes a little loose it stops you until you sort it again. Also when filling/emptying it can tend to get wet which my read minor but when you are using chemicals you don't want them on your strap that is then going on your clothing etc. I have got used to this now but the design of the strap could be a little better in my opinion = personal choice maybe but just being honest here. Would I recommended this? Absolutely. It's great for the jobs at hand and a solid product - even with that strap. Tips - I don't usually give tips in reviews but thought some might find this useful. I wear rubber gloves as it saves you getting chemicals on your hands as the spray particles can spread in the wind. Wear clothing that you don't mind getting 'contaminated' as, again, when spraying you will get some particles landing on clothing. Don't use it in the wind! Wear goggles maybe - depending on what you are spraying.

Degelijk en doet wat het moet doen. Daarvoor scherp geprijsd.

If you go through a lot of herbicide, this sprayer is an absolute game-changer! Weed sprayers in general can be notoriously fussy. You spend all this time cleaning them out, checking hoses, and tweaking parts, only for them to stop working properly after a while. If you don't want to waste your precious time messing around with mediocre equipment, honestly, just get a fresh one! As sprayers age, the pressure can cause pinholes, leaks, or even crack the housing entirely. That said, these units are sturdy and easy to work with. We actually had an older 8-litre model develop a leak, but we managed to patch the area with Gorilla Glue and heavy tape—now we keep that one strictly as our backup for rough vacant lot jobs! For regular, reliable use without the headache, picking up a new Spear & Jackson unit is well worth every cent. Bottom Line: Smooth operation, great pressure, and saves you the frustration of constantly troubleshooting old, leaky sprayers.

As expected - works to purpose - good product.

I love it

Jag behövde denna för att applicera tätningsvätska på lättbetong. Den funkade jättebra. Den är lätt att använda, det går enkelt att pumpa upp ett tryck i behållaren så att den kan pressa ut vätskan och när du är klar och vill släppa ut eventuellt kvarvarande tryck så har den en ventil som du försiktigt drar i och du hör då hur det pyser ut. Med tanke på munstycket så tror jag att denna lämpar sig enbart till lättflytande vätskor. Om det är mer trögflytande så ska du välja något annat sätt för att applicera.
