Vaper Non-Aerosol Sprayer

[@garyb.4080]

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!

[@volvo09]

Haha, nice! Never had the space to run one out 😂

[@ogt92fromthe1step9]

Lol I am that guy that sets the governor. I set our lifts at 6 mph because people suck. I am an industrial maintenance tech our second shift industrial maintenance tech somehow did not see a building column and ran the left front tire of a Toyota 3-wheel sit down lift into the column at about 11 mph. It tore the front wheel off of the lift. The parts were on backorder from Toyota for over 6 months till they finally said screw it and swap out our lift for another one. Ever since that episode and another one where someone put a fork through a building column all our lifts are set to 6 mph😂

[@woodstream6137]

​@@ogt92fromthe1step9maintenance set ours to 4mph because operators were bad drivers. Everybody had to drive them but maybe once a week, even the 5ft 100# grandma. They also put guards around all of the support columns and doorways to keep them from getting hit.

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

[@paulputnam2305]

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.

[@stevedando7226]

Metals tech? I retired in 2017 from Mtn Home.

[@aplacecalledfear]

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.

[@swede178]

@aplacecalledfear Man I miss the endless supply of MEK when I was aircraft mechanic (MD-80 family). not the best thing to use when curled up in a non ventilated room as a cargo compartment though 😂

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!

[@elektro3000]

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.

[@ryanrich9186]

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.

[@High_Performance_Energy_Drink]

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.

[@cwbuilds9215]

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

[@homesteadhaven2010]

At a cost of 60 to 70 us dollars yes they are... lol

[@homesteadhaven2010]

Remove the tip and try it. Just the first piece on the tip.

[@scottmaness4449]

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.

[@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 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.

[@IcecalGamer]

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

[@FunkFPV]

That idea looked so good on paper 🤦🏻‍♂️😜

[@Paradox460_yt]

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.

[@jasongeorge1522]

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

[@BulletGlue]

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.

[@wmopp9100]

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

[@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.

[@wlb-85]

I got one of these at Harbor Freight recently to use acetone and do clear coat on my C10. I use a bike pump to keep it aired up. I get it to 140 psi and I find I run out of fluid before I need to pump it again. It was perfect for the acetone. No, I did not use it for the clear coat. I finger tight the lid, and it holds air. I leave it pressurized for weeks at a time.

[@christianpetterson1784]

My Dad and I used industrial degreaser in our then-new steel powdercoated parts washer. Couple that with the block heater added on the bottom to make the degreaser more effective, and now the whole tank is a goant rusty mess with the powdercoat peeling off in sheets. That sprayer will definitely have rust issues in no time with water-based degreaser in it, especially if its not emptied and dried out frequently.

[@bruceyyyyy]

I see you have the same problem I do with crescent wrenches. No matter which way you turn it's not the way you want it to go on the first try. I also have the same problem with USB cords.

[@FunkFPV]

Haha Same with usb even if I get it right the first time.

[@foxwood67]

Make sure to rinse that out with some iso alcohol , brake clean or acetone . They rust up quick with water

[@Mrmghz1]

ive been waiting for someone to make a can that can be used for spraying compressed air and refilled with more air.

[@stevedando7226]

I use mine as a flame thrower,we got big rats in the ship yard

[@gnic76]

I have a heavy duty plastic one, that you can pump up, it works ok but having an air fill valve would be handy.

[@salchristiano6606]

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.

[@ROD59]

Happy thanksgiving and thanks for everything you do for us all year around , you make us laugh and entertain and for that I give thanks is always the little things in life that make us happy.

[@stevenl5751]

The ones that you pressurize manually with a pump on the top are pretty good. All the mechanics at all the shops I've worked at use them.

[@truckgotstuck]

I like the FBS pump sprayers. They have an option with a Buna O-ring kit and one with a Nitrile so you can put whatever you want in them. They aren't cheap, but they work really well and they take quite a beating. They are made of a very heavy plastic.

[@toddwilliams8356]

Let me tell you I have put all sorts of stuff in these sprayer. By far the best thing I have done is put hardshell floor wax in mine sprayed my camper. Honestly the easiest wax job ever just wipe off no polish and it's super shiny highly recommended!

[@staceyschnee801]

You can get plastic versions of that type of sprayer meant for pesticides, which wouldn't have the rusting issues.

[@jonjacobjingleheimerschmid3798]

I do dewatering for winter at a few parks... So i use RV antifreeze in it to flush though the faucets to remove that last bit of water out of the metering valve.. Payed for itself in time and valve replacement in one season

[@sidserv1978]

I use sure shots. They work great. I have one that has had power purple in one for 5 years with zero issues. I like them since I can wet down brakes and they soak out better for cleaning.

[@johnharrop5530]

I’ve got one had it for 25 years I used to clamp a heater hose on it filled with WD40 and clamp it on seized hand brake cables and pump it through to unseize them

[@nickmcwilliams685]

Put a couple drops of dish soap in the water; it will soak into the cardboard much faster and make the pattern easier to see.

[@blakeley98]

These are great. I gave up on brake clean and just use acetone. The plastic spray bottles I tried didn't like the acetone

[@davidwcordell]

I bet they can't put the seal in during mass transport to ensure there is no way any of the vessels are pressurized. Just my random input.

[@FunkFPV]

That could be the reason 😎👍🏻 It might even say that in the instructions I didn’t read 😜

[@alanhillyard1639]

High end motorsports in the Uk at least (WRC and F1 at least) use Wurth pump spray bottles which is basically the same as this but thick AF plastic. Real nice quality stuff, I would recommend them

We used them for dye penetrate testing and we put mixing balls in them.

[@skunkjobb]

I only use brake cleaner where it's really needed, for the rest I use milder products. Even if it smells good, brake cleaner contains some nasty chlorinated stuff that you don't want to inhale every day. Or what the hell, I just downloaded the MSDS for CRC Brakleen. There's no chlorinated compound in it anymore. And there's only little left in my old can. What am I gonna inhale now when I want some tetrachloroethylene?

@ a bit of both but yeah, you can really fine tune it by wallowing out a bit at a time. I just use a pick and tap it with a hammer a few times then test, and keep making it bigger til the stream is what I prefer for cleaning. But don’t forget to take the restrictor out of the tip.

I prefer the plastic ones with their own pump myself, VERY pricey for a plastic bottle, but they are surprisingly tough and hold up well to solvents, I don't like storing them with pressure so I like how easy it is to just unscrew them enough to let the pressure out and then give it a few pumps when you pick it up next. I have very bad luck with leaving any kind of sprayer pressurized :(

[@chadg739]

[@ArtVanAuggie]

This ain't new. Back in the '60s we used these in filling stations to clean windshields. They were perhaps 1/4 the size though. Like all young idiots who didn't pay attention in Chem and Physics, we would fill them to the brim and wonder why they didn't work after about a half second of air. Hell, we were $.90 an hour gas squirters, the boss clued us in to half liquid and air and things worked fine. I will say the ones we had were better made, cast bodies and quality valves. They were promo giveaways when the boss bought washer fluid.

I have the m18 version of that inflator and it's 1000 times better with a cheap flip lever valve screwed onto the end of the inflator hose. I got a 2 pack on amazon for around 10 bucks.

When I clicked on this vid, I wanted one of these full of Xylene or acetone for cleaning the gunk off of diesel engines.

I still want one, I just do not know what I would put into it.
