Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
For added versatility, the unit includes a multi-purpose nozzle. The 303 nozzle comes pre-set for a regular mist, but it can be easily removed with needle nose Pliers to spray as a pin Stream.
The large liquid capacity of 32 oz (1 quart) is ideal for oil and solvent-based materials. This steel sprayer should not be used with water or water-based materials.
The nozzle is brass, and the working parts are corrosion-resistant. The exterior has a lovely green powder coating.
Rather than flammable or dangerous propellants, it uses readily available compressed air. There's no need to worry about empty cans because it's reusable.
The sprayers have 100% been made in the USA since 1932, and partial and complete repair kits are available.

Questions & Answers

Will this work as a lubricant for a motorcycle chain when using chain and cable fluid?

You'll have to accessorize it, but YES, it can be used for that purpose. Visit the Sure Shot Sprayer website (sureshotsprayer.com) for more information. com) and select "nozzle extensions" from the drop-down menu. The combination of Nozzle 345 and low pressure (30 pounds or less) will result in a super-efficient system. Oiling gun that is precise. Use extension 335 and nozzle 602 if you need to get into tight spaces. This extension can be used with the standard nozzle. Simply remove the nozzle and the small brass impeller to convert it to a pin stream.

Is acetone a possibility?

Yes, I use acetone in my mine for a long time and have had no problems.

What is the distinction between the Sureshot and Vaper models? Isn't one twice as much as the other?

In fact, they have the same appearance and look. I used to own a Sure Shot, which has performed admirably for me over the years. I decided to get another sprayer, and this time I chose a Vaper because it was less expensive; however, after purchasing one and returning it because it leaked, they replaced it with another one that also leaked. I was then given a Sure Shot credit for the money. With a Vapor, you may or may not get lucky.

Is it possible to spray cooking oils with this sprayer?

It will mist whatever you put in it, but I'd recommend sticking to oils or solvents.

It is more expensive for a reason
5/5

Although these two sprayers appear to be identical at first glance, you should ask the following questions: br>br>Would you rather your solvent stay in the sprayer or drip out slowly through a low-quality nozzle? br>br>Would you prefer a nice atomizing spray or a small jet stream, or would you prefer it to spray in a random pattern? So, before you go out and buy a copy, think about the original. Inquire of someone who possesses both of these qualities.

Trigger has been snapped off, and the product is made in the United States
3/5

The product will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Also, no replacement part was offered over the phone. Very let down. br>br>Excellent product. I have several different colors of degreasers, and I use this one for my chlorinated brakleen. Set the pressure to 120 psi and remove the mister for the stream pattern, and it's perfect! The most effective automobile accessory.

There's got to be a better one out there somewhere
3/5

Because the company did not provide one, I purchased this can to use with brake cleaner at work. Refill idea that is simple. br>THE PROBLEM- This item emits a misting effect similar to that of a water system in a flower garden. The Spray Nozzle hole had been blown open by other guys in the shop. To get a decent stream/flow, I had to modify the Brass insert prior to the spray nozzle opening. For sixty dollars. br>Of course, it's all about the engineering. It was not well-considered. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to give it a zero. For an item that is required, it is extremely costly. Mods. Even if you had a lit stick it note and an item filled with water, it would still take two hours. It took me 3 minutes to finish it. This is an example of the fine mist produced by the Shoots. It's the ideal mist for fuel injectors.

Rather than buying plastic bottles, get this instead
5/5

I tried a variety of plastic bottles for the paint solvent and metal cleaning solvent that I use when painting cars, and they all broke down within a few days to a few weeks. I put off buying my first Sure Shot until I'd spent nearly $75 on plastic bottles because $50 seemed like a lot of money. I now have two: one black one for spraying the metal cleaner with the sprayer, and one red one for a steady stream of paint solvent Because I don't spill any solvent or get it on my hands or clothes, I'm finding that I'm using a lot less of it now. When you get your sprayer, I recommend purchasing silicone funnels. If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be. water- Pay the $50 for the last sprayer you'll ever buy if you're using a solvent-based solvent.

QUALITY! It's still of the same high standard as it was in the 1960s! All of the steel is heavy gauge and welded
5/5

This sprayer is identical to the one my grandfather used in the 1960s and the one my father bought in the 1970s before it was run over by a dozer a few weeks ago. It wasn't so badly damaged that it couldn't be repaired, but it would have necessitated welding a new bottom in. This one cost a lot less than the time it would take to fix the old one, which would still be old. These last 30 to 40 years if you don't use a water base liquid in them. In addition, different nozzles or spray tips can be purchased for various applications. We use it to squirt PB Blaster all over the place. We purchase that stuff in bulk but if you drop a spray can of Blaster it will 99% of the time land on its spray nozzle and the can might be full but it% We release the pressure in the can by drilling a hole in the bottom and pouring the contents into this Sure Shot sprayer. It works perfectly and above all else, it is 100% made in the United States of America.

Dispensers That Can Be Used in a Variety of Situations There are numerous applications for this product, and it is easily customizable
4/5

The plating on the nozzle or the raw metal interior are most likely my only gripes. In one, I'm using lacquer thinner, and the small nozzle hole clogs up every now and then. I believe the plating is oxidizing or that there is some kind of internal corrosion that the thinner is picking up. All I have to do now is clean out the hole every now and then. I used penetrant oil in the other one I purchased. There's never been a problem with it. I enlarged some of the nozzle on it to fit into the red plastic tubes that come with many aerosol cans containing oiling products, such as WD 40. Because the can is a bit bulky, it's come in handy. I can bend the tube to get into tight spaces. In them, I use a very low amount of pressure. They are appealing to me.

Why should you purchase this product? I devote far too much of my time to product research
5/5

I made every effort to save money on this. However, in the end, I only required Sureshot's services. It performs admirably. It's built to last. And it saves a lot of money (I use a wax and grease remover/thinner).

Even when dealing with noxious chemicals, it's dependable
4/5

I've already used a gallon of chlorinated brake cleaner and it hasn't melted the paint or removed the sticker. I wish the nozzle sprayed with more force and less mist, as this is my second, and I use the chrome version for WD-related tasks. 40 (red for chlorinated brake cleaner, which can cause an immediate burn or a severe rash if it comes into contact with the skin). Many gallons of WD-40 have been spilled on the chrome one. With no problems, 40. I'm going to need some extra nozzles so that I can find the best one for each job.
