Spear & Jackson 5LPAPS Pressure Sprayer with 5 Liter Pump

I have put planters on the roof of my narrowboat, so I bought this to make the watering easier, because I'm too old and stiff to climb on to the roof. It's brilliant! It's easy to use, I got the 5 litre size because I didn't want it to be too heavy, there's still some clambering about to be done! I am really impressed with it, a very effective gadget, and reasonably priced. If, like me, you're on a boat, and you're using canal/river water for watering your plants, remember to use a filter of some kind when filling it up so it doesn't get clogged, I used a small sieve.

Updated 04/2024 - just to add to the below detailed review that this is still going strong in 2024! Had to do a minor repair to the pump tube (a bit of gorilla tape) as I caught it on a spade - but even with my small repair, this pump is still a great asset to my garden and other jobs! Please see below for full previous review! As with most of my reviews, I like to leave my comments after a period of use as I think that is a fair way to really test out and items durability - especially when it is being used a lot as I have with this spray. Bought back in August 2019 (almost a year ago) I can confirm this is a great pump spray that has lasted well and bee used many a time and with a little tweak could get to that 5 star it really deservers (see 'cons' below). Pros Solid Build - This has been banged around left, right and centrer - from garage, around the garden, to shed and more. No dents and I feel confident when storing liquid within it that it will be safely contained. Easy to use - I wish I could share more than one video to show the pump action and filling but you will just have to trust me that it is easy to use. Filling is not a problem as with the pumping itself. There is an air valve to release the pressure if required and you just turn and lock in the handle when pumping is complete. Good coverage from spray - You can tweak the spray to your liking which gives great targeted or wide coverage as you can see in the video. This is epically improtant if you are using chemicals such as weed killer. Filling guidelines - you can see from the pictures that there are measurement lines on the side which are large and clear to see and which is very important if needing to mix. Weight and pump lasting time - once filled the weight is actually not that bad at all and the spray time you get out of each pump is more than enough I think - this would depend upon the amount you are spraying out of the nozzle of course and the area to be covered. Cons - Okay so here is why I gave it 4 stars and although this does not hinder the use it really did annoy me at first so I like to be completely honest in my reviews. The strap. It goes over your shoulder fine and stays there mostly but it is a little annoying and doesn't always hold to the shoulder - shift round to the front or off the shoulder at times. This means that if it gets in the way or otherwise just becomes a little loose it stops you until you sort it again. Also when filling/emptying it can tend to get wet which my read minor but when you are using chemicals you don't want them on your strap that is then going on your clothing etc. I have got used to this now but the design of the strap could be a little better in my opinion = personal choice maybe but just being honest here. Would I recommended this? Absolutely. It's great for the jobs at hand and a solid product - even with that strap. Tips - I don't usually give tips in reviews but thought some might find this useful. I wear rubber gloves as it saves you getting chemicals on your hands as the spray particles can spread in the wind. Wear clothing that you don't mind getting 'contaminated' as, again, when spraying you will get some particles landing on clothing. Don't use it in the wind! Wear goggles maybe - depending on what you are spraying.

Excellent product. It delivers a continuous and even spray. As per the instructions 25 pumps creates enough pressure to last for upto 4 litres of continuous coverage. There is a handy snib in the handle of the sprayer that locks it in place so no need to keep holding the trigger. I used it to put sealant onto block paving on a driveway and patio. Will also be using it to apply weed killer and water the plants if we end up with a hose pipe ban!

I do like this product, bought similar 4 years ago. That lasted well. I hope this will last as longer. Quality, spray control very good. I think of anything else to say.

Easy to set up and use. Works well.

Well made and works as it should. Care needs to be taken when filling as it’s not a wide filler. Keeps pressure well and is still working well after a couple of months. My only complaint and reason for 4 stars is the wand seems to work without the on off leaver being pressed even after pressure is released by a valve on top of unit and it’s bloody annoying. Still it does what is designed to do.

This is a good quality pump spray well made and substantial in build, there are cheaper alternatives but this is a good quality item with an adjustable nozzle, and easy to assemble

The product is good but I have received it with missing nozzle so I can only use it to water the plants

perfect for what I needed it for

Great value for money! This Sprayer does the job just a well as another Sprayer I own that cost over $100. The quality is very good, and overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.
