Billybop replied to Adam Woods's discussion Hand held pressure sprayers

"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"

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…

"I have a 6ft pair of Niwakis, wish i’d had them years before I did. I initially got the 8fts and immediately realised they would be a pain for the majority of hedges I used to cut. I think they are brilliant just make sure they are seated properly.…"

Billybop replied to PGM's discussion Grass Cutting 2026 Season

"Done a couple of second cuts already this last week would you believe. It's almost as if the grass has a memory of last year's drought and is making up for it now plenty of moisture available"

Billybop replied to Tim Wallach's discussion Tripod ladder user? Your advice sought please!
