CRAFTSMAN Battery Powered Sprayer Wand CMXCAFG190640 Easily Attaches to Most Ready to Use Chemical Bottles for Gardening Lawn

Finally a product that is very useful & versatile! The lid will fit OK on a 1 gallon milk jug and that's what I've been using. Mix your chemicals in the jug and throw it away when your done. I keep another jug mixed with soapy water to clean the sprayer when I'm finished. It will spray 2 gallons before the batteries need changing out. If your going to be using the sprayer often I'd recommend getting rechargeable AA batteries, it takes 4. We have a big garden and yard. In the garden I've been using it as a foliar, insecticide and fungal sprayer. In the yard I've used it to spray insecticide and weed killer. Our house is a one story and gets that green algae on the siding. We have to power wash it once a year, it's an all day event. Late spring this year I sprayed a mild bleach solution on the house to keep the algae at bay and seems to be working as we have no algae. This took about 10 minutes and 2 gallons to spray the whole house. I'll do it again mid fall. What a time saver! When we cleaned the carpets, I used it as a pre-treater to spray many spots (dog and kids) before using the carpet cleaner machine. I'm sure there are more used that we haven't come across yet. Now for the cons. The sprayer wand is short and could be another 3 inches longer. The batteries are a little awkward to install. The hose could be 12"-18" longer. And lastly, I wonder how long this sprayer will last? I know I'm nitpicking now. For all the use I've gotten so far if it broke tomorrow I'd be happy. Who knows, it might surprise me and last years. After all it was under $9 and came with batteries. This sprayer works great and beats pumping or squeezing a spray bottle!!! Read more

I got this for my laboratories because we have a particular test that requires squeezing a specific brand 500 ml lab wash bottle for 30 seconds at full pressure to test some experimental products that have been baked onto aluminum - we want the product to be easily removed during production cleanup. If you have many variants of experimental product to test it can get very annoying, make your hand and arm ache, and the spray pressure can be reduced over time as you get tired - also the pressure variance from person to person is high, so this provides increased consistency. I got three types of sprayer/washer. This one was closest to the lab wash bottle in the direct stream spray application of water to remove the experimental products from aluminum in terms of force and amount of water delivered over time. I have used it four times, each time the tubes are emptied by pumping air, and the batteries removed so they will not discharge/leak if there is a long time between doing the particular test (months, perhaps a year). I don't expect it to last but will purchase a couple of spare ones - at the price it has been doing great and the spray is consistent. The other two products were also excellent, more expensive ($40 and $120), rechargeable, but the sprays were way too strong for the simulated work. Read more

This is the very best solution I have found yet for putting out stuff like the Wet it and Forget it that takes away the green slippery stuff on your steps and walkways and driveway. I have arthritis in my hands and so the constant pumping action of some sprayers is not even an option for me. I have tried many pump up sprayers and all have been disappointed with them all. Even the ones that lock in the on position. This one doesn't even require the liquid to be pressurized. I rigged up a situation where I just used duck tape and secured the straw down in a milk jug because it had a handle and I could fill it up half way so it wasn't so heavy and the straw would stay all the way down in the bottom. I went out and sprayed all of that out, then came back and put the other half of my stuff in the bottle and did the other half of the milk jug. No flexing of the hand at all or continuous pumping to get the air out. The batteries last forever and at the end, you just pump clear water through the system, then some air. Then take the batteries out and store the set up for next time. If you have a different liquid, just use a new milk jug the next time. I remove the straw from the jug and remove the duct tape.

I’ve been using this battery sprayer wand for a few weeks and I’m happy with it. The battery power makes a big difference — no more hand-pumping, and the pressure stays steady the whole time. It’s great for spraying plants, cleaning outdoor areas, and even applying solutions around the house. The build quality is decent, though not heavy-duty. The wand could be a little sturdier, but it works fine if you handle it properly. Battery life is good for medium-sized jobs. Overall, a reliable and convenient tool. Read more

Comfortable, great stream. The wand that comes with the Round Up and Weed B Gon 5L tanks isn't very good. Trigger deteriorates and becomes impossible. Their wand uses only 3 batteries, need a screwdriver to replace batteries. Not true with this Craftsman. Pistol handle is comfortable, trigger is easy, 4 batteries produce a strong stream, lasts a long time, no screwdriver needed to replace batteries. The pump is so strong that the Weed B Gon container actually collapses inward. Keep the cap loose to let air in. Targets more than 18 feet away were easy to hit. If I had known about this sprayer, I would have started with it, added a general tank with translucent sides (to see liquid level; I've seen them online somewhere), and herbicide concentrate. My only complaint is that the spray tube is short. I gave feedback to craftsman.com about this, asking for a screw-on extension of 10 inches. Maybe other purchasers could give the same feedback? The nozzle can be adjusted to produce stream or cone shape. The directions, a bit obscure, are on the outside of the product box. Just tighten or loosen the nozzle to adjust the output shape. I bought one sprayer for my Weed B Gon container, I will buy another for my Round Up container. Read more
