Vaper Non-Aerosol Sprayer

As always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and not what some guy on YouTube is doing.
That aside I’ve been using this for about 3 weeks now. I’ve filled it 3 times and it seems like it takes 2 charges of air per bottle of liquid. I’ve also noticed it works just fine at 60psi. A side note, the degreaser I’m using gets a little foaming action.
All that being said. It’s seems like a good product and in my case use it works well.
For some odd reason the price varies between colors. You can save a couple bucks if you buy the blue one.

Yeah, I was that guy, for about 7 years! I operated a forklift, in the plant where I worked before I retired! I became pretty good buds with the repair guy! Did you know they had governors on them? I got mine removed 😅! Our warehouse was about 10 acres so we had some long pulls!

Retired aircraft mechanic here. I've had mine for about 45 years now. They work great, but you do have to take care of them. Don't drop them or they will leak. Keep the trigger gland tight and the packing well lubed. I've had everything in it too...MEK acetone, methyl chloroform, carbon tet, mineral spirits and kero, no problem.

Always enjoy these slightly obscure items and tools you share with us . Thank you

I’ve used them when I was in the Air Force a long, long time ago for spraying cutting oil. We had a custom drilling machine to drill mounting holes in the keel, between the engines, to install F15 style centerline fuel tanks on F4 Phantoms. I was a game changer to make the bits last longer. Good times.
Thanks for the update. I forgot all about those.

One shop I worked for, provided the brake clean in that form and I loved it, I still ha e both of my cans in my bottom drawer. Though I don't use them at this point because the cleaner isn't provided by the shop in that form so I just use the crap out of the aerosol cans they provide, no money out of my pocket.... I do keep one at home in the garage and purchase my own because it's so much better, one of these days I will convince the shop into changing their ways.

Great timing, I just bought a pair of them, one for chlorinated Brakleen and one for Gibbs penetrating oil. When I was a dealership mechanic, my last dealership gave us each one of these cans and had a pressurized 55 gallon drum of brake cleaner we could fill with straight through the Schrader valve. It was very efficient.

[Bald_Tire]

I used them. We took the nozzle tip off and removed the Jet in side so it would be a solid stream and not just spraying. Yah with break clean it was awesome.

I forgot I had a Sureshot sitting in the cupboard and haven't used it yet, thanks for reminding me to give it a go!

[cwbuilds]

Sureshot type cans are great! As a light duty mechanic I like to wollow out the tip just a tad for a more aggressive spray pattern

[trig]

Nice, I keep all my solvents and applicator applied glues in cool boxes. Keeps the smell inside, stops tubes from oozing glue during the summer and keeps them reasonably usable in the cold of winter. And I keep my nail gun gas containers in my pants under my ball.

I love that you've left the Coc-up in at 12:30 :))

When I was in auto dealerships they bought brake cleaner in 55 gallon drums. We all had the Sure shot version of these. Worked great, but a big 10-4 on opening up the nozzle a little.

Hear Hear on the spray bottles being cheap crap that breaks all the time. I've found the best you could ever get are the old Delta 360 ones, but you can't find those anymore. Closest alternative is the Home Depot HD branded "upside down" sprayers. $2 each and they tend to last slightly longer than others.

For large-scale sprays, I've found Chapin concrete sprayers to be the best you can get. Yeah, they're big and heavy and you have to carry and pump the can up, but they can put out 2GPM of fluid. And they're metal and USA made, which is nice to find.

I work in a fork truck attachment manufacturing and I use mine all the time with flux remover on the circuit boards we make. It makes it nice that I can leave it out of the combustibles fire cabinet on my work station where as the plastic spray bottles are a hazard around heat/soldering stations. Plus it can hold 32oz which is the exact size amount the flux remover we use comes in.

[trippytrolls]

Sureshot sprayers are the original and are made in the USA. Been using mine for awhile now and love it, they also sell different nozzles for different spray patterns you could buy or like others have mentioned there is a removable plug in the nozzle that'll give you a more stream like pattern.

I worked in a medical lab and the instruments we used had pm's, which was considered periodic maintenance.

[salchristiano]

Just got one for my home shop because I wanted to switch to the gallon size for brake cleaner. After using it for a year I can say it was a good choice. I did get the HB branded one and it holds pressure over time very well. I do a lot of work on cars and mowers for family and friends. In a year it’s paid for itself by offsetting the cost of the cans of solvent.

[teabee]

I recently bought one. It was $50 for the sprayer and $115 for the brake cleaner 5 gallon drum. I highly recommend you only tighten the fill cap to finger tight.

In Europe we have these with a pump to build up pressure by hand. I use them for a bunch of things in the house including bathroom cleaner
