Looking to replace my general use 2-gallon hand sprayer and am considering this:Solo 456Anyone have an opinion or better option?

Better option? maybe. I ran across re-build kit at Lowes for my cheapie sprayer's. http://www.lowes.com/pd_319873-1306-181538_0__?k_clickID=41a9cfb3-2260-40cd-a16f-15482e399010&store_code=2420&productId=3192551&selectedLocalStoreBeanArray=%5Bcom.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%401e111e11%5D&storeNumber=2420&kpid=3192551&kpid=3192551&cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-LawnGarden-_-Sprayers-_-3192551%3ARoundup&DM_PersistentCookieCreated=true&CAWELAID=&CAWELAID=1210284558

Nice to know. Will keep that in mind. I need to replace the tank this time.

I kind of like the one I use. It is modified so that instead of pump pump pumping it I just pressurise with the handy dandy blow hard (Air Compressor) Thius one blows off at 45 PSI Which I think is a bit low myself but . Well, that might be handy with the mod I did.Drill hole, Thread valve stem into hole and apply stem nut (I used a metal valve stem that bolts in.. It is a "Custom Shop" type product for flash not pressure).

I have several for $15 or so, use them for chlorine to demold siding. have a back pack one that works great and also a large 12 volt one designed to mount on a 4 wheeler.bumpy

That sounds handy. I'd be wary of absent-mindedly over-pressurizing it and blowing it up.

Fairly expensive for a middle-of-road garden sprayer. It would probably last for a long time, depending on what you put in it.

yep, $50?, I didn't spend much more than that for my backpack one. IMHO sprayers are a disposable item. buy cheap, throw them away. of course I put chlorine in them so they need lots of rinsing.

He mentioned degreasing/degunking the radiator fins on the MH.

The previous sprayer broke when it fell off the house roof, so apparently there is/was something he needs it for up there.

I don't ask...I just shop. (And keep the first aid bin stocked.)

I replaced mine with one of these back pack sprayers...Solo has a couple of models. I got ours at Costco. Easy to carry around, very easy to pump and spray.

I like the backpack idea. Would be good for spraying weeds.
