“fix” a garden sprayer “DON’T replace it” (easy fix)

Most things can be fixed, here’s an easy fix for a garden sprayer. So often the seals get stuck and the valve needs to be cleaned and lubricated. Rather than just throw it out and get another one you’ll be surprised how easy it is to fix. In fact next time you see garden sprayer in the trash you’ll probably wanna snag it and fix it. It’s easy

Mine was leaking/dripping so I followed your steps and it's fixed. Thank you for a short and to the point video.

Thank you sooo much I had to watch so many videos just to find one that addresses the leaking issue. Much appreciated

I think folks that spray chemicals for killing insects and stuff should wear gloves when doing this.

The spring was stuck on the knob, or maybe because I had it in lock position. I can't say for sure what happened or why, but while I was unscrewing the knob, I heard noises. I thought that wasn't normal, but I kept unscrewing. Finally I could see that the spring was all rusted and loose. I tried to be careful but eventually the spring broke.

I guess I have to get a new spray handle section.

The video was very good and informational about how to deal with cleaning this part up though.

The silicone grease is an excellent idea!

That was the trick I needed, to push out the piston.

Thank you SOOO much for not dragging it out for 10 minutes; very to the point, I like it!

My older brother, the wizard, borrowed my Stanley metal garden sprayer (a real nice sprayer). He used it to spray sealer on his cement driveway. Before giving it to him, I told him to be sure and rinse it out throughly when he was done with it, and he confirmed my request. Well, I picked it up a week later, and asked him, did you rinse it out, he said yes I did. When I next used it, it was plugged solid. I then found out that he only rinsed out the tank and not the hose, or nozzle. You can't fix stupid.

Could this be what is causing my sprayer to leak at the handle. When I release to spray, liquid begins dripping on my hands. It’s brand new as well.

Awesome post! Thank you very much! Saved my sprayer; less in the trash!

This is a good video. Cleaned out both of my clogged sprayers.
