Chapin 29002 7.5 Litres (2 Gallon) Stand-n-Spray No Bend Backpack Knapsack Pressure Sprayer

This is my sprayer of choice. Works well and is very easy to carry around. Wish there was a better wand holder and the pressure relief valve breaks easily.

I've used this sprayer several times now and I love it! I've always hated spraying because of what it does to my back with toting it around, agitating it, bending to pump it, and trying to spray the undersides of the leaves. While this sprayer can't help with reaching under leaves, it does help with both pumping and agitation. Since I only have to bend slightly to pump (I'm 5'8" after all), that cuts down substantially on the bending. Since the pump handle is high I can agitate by simply rocking the canister from a standing position instead of lifting the whole thing and trying to shake it, as I had to do with my old sprayer. I was a bit concerned that going from a 1 gallon to a 2 gallon sprayer would cause my back more pain, but it turns out that the worst issue of weight wasn't carrying it to the plants, it was lifting it constantly to keep it agitated. So now that I can do that with the canister on the ground, the extra weight of an additional gallon isn't such a big deal. Besides, I have extensive gardens so 2 gals. gets the job done without having to refill the sprayer 4 times as I did with my old 1 gal sprayer, with all the bending that goes with that. The pressure release valve is new to me and is a wonderful convenience! I've had no problems with the canister sealing properly or leaking air as others have reported. Mine also came with a brass spray nozzle- one reviewer complained that his did not. Perhaps he didn't look for it carefully enough- mine was packed loose inside the sprayer while all the other parts were in a plastic bag. The only thing I could ask for to improve this sprayer would be for the handle assembly to be just a bit longer. Tall folks will still have to bend a bit to pump, but from a senior with a bad back, it is a vast improvement over conventional pump sprayers.

I bought this so that I could use all natural non toxic, environmentally friendly weed killer on my interlocking brick patio. Love the unit! I had misunderstood and thought it was on wheels which it is not, but it's still easy to move around using the handle and not needing to bend over. For some reason mine was missing the little caddy for holding the "tools" (the spray shield). Not a big deal, I just keep the shield attached to the hose anyways. Easy to fill and use, and easy to clean. Large enough capacity to do a large area. Highly recommended!

The long handle allows for easy pumping and carrying. No more back aches as from previous sprayers.

I needed to kill weeds and grasses around the yard but didn't want to use toxic chemicals. This Chapin sprayer, with a vinegar, salt, and Dawn dish liquid, handled the job easily. To make the sprayer even more leak proof I wrapped all threaded connections with teflon tape. Two gallon size and no-bending over was perfect. Great for senior citizens also.
