Hand held pressure sprayers

A few years ago I had some that lasted and lasted. The last 3 years the pump valves have failed in a year. Last year's were an expensive one from Screwfix... they now vomit herbicide onto the handle , or spurt it out of the top of the pump randomly. 

Does anyone have a make that lasts nowadays? I know I (and will be) taking the Screwfix ones back for a refund... But I'd just like some that last. I looked at Hozelock this morning but theres appear to be only 1 litre...which is a bit on the small side, but do come with a 2 year warranty.

I use several, one for selective, one for total weedkiller, and one for insecticides...

Thanks....

  • Hand held as in the one-handed jobs? I don't use them but for a small pump-up one with a lance I find the Matabi brand pretty good, think they make hand held sprayers also

    Solo sprayers are my favourite. Thinking about it i have four 5l solo sprayers, a 7l, 1l hand held and a 15l cooper plegler. All for different things, nuts really. I forgot about the handheld its in my garage somewhere. You can get parts for solo and cooper plegler. Hozelock are rubbish they break easily and don't have interchangeable nozzles.

  • I've had a cooper pegler CP5 for years with no problems.  Not the same model now but still appears to be called the same. 

     

  • We use Matabi excellent

    I have used the STIHL SGA 85 Cordless Sprayer primarily for the application of fungicides and insecticides for the treatment of box blight and moth. It's great as its battery powered and ideal for high spraying. No issues with it for over 2 years now.

  • We only buy Berthoud Vermorel sprayers and have done for 20 years.

    They are a little pricey but they're the best and last years. 

    We spray, iron, fertiliser, herbicide, pesticide and algaecide, and they never let us down.

  • Cooper peglar

  • Another vote for Matabi, the only thing that fails in my experience is the seals in the handles, which is to be expected. Easy to sort and not a regular occurence.
