Spear & Jackson 5LPAPS 5 Litre Pump Action Pressure Sprayer

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.

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.

Great item really handy for cleaning up in garden, easy to use

An excellent garden sprayer made by a well known company. We are very happy with it as it works well. Easy to fill up and easy to use.

Easy to fill and pressurise .

Works well, holds pressure and sprays well. Only used weed killer in it, and it’s never clogged or stopped working. The plastic is good quality and robust for the use, only complaint is the relief is weak, and snapped at some point, got a replacement though.

Low cost easy way to spray down the weed killer we needed in the garden. Easy to put together easy to use no complaints. Would recommend.

Would like to give a good review and I expect it would work really well IF the air pressure didn't leak from the screw thingy that connects the wand pipe to the body. I suspect they didn't send the rubber o ring which would form the air tight seal. Only 3 stars because I had to buy an "accessory pack" after discovering this. Because this rubber washer is missing it doesn't hold pressure. On the upside it has a big opening which makes it easy to fill. Clear measurement marks I can see without my glasses. Solid sturdy plastic body. The strap makes it easy to carry but the wand pipe means I don't have to because it reaches the places I need to reach with the container sat on the ground ie my beds and raised beds. I suspect it you were using it on hedge or trees this strap would be if great value. Yhe strap however is thin webbing and I coild see this being really uncomfortable if used for any length of time. The pump handle is chunky enough that arthritic hands have no problems with it. I will update if the o rings arrive and fix the problem. *UPDATE* With the o ring fitted it is a great piece of kit.

Je suis très satisfaite de ce produit, nous l'avons utilisé pour pulvériser un produit sur nos dalles et le résultat est à la hauteur de mes espérances. Il est facile d'utilisation, de bonne qualité et solide.

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.

Genau wie beschrieben

This is a very detailed sprayer I have ever used. It is very carefully crafted for convenience. 1. Very convenient to hold by the belt. 2. Pipe is long enough so that you can keep the whole assembly on the floor and spray. 3. It has a pressure valve to stabilize pressure and can be used to de-pressurize if the sprayer is not in use. (The best thing I have seen in this price) 4. The pump is manual although but very easy to use. You can spray for atleast 2-4 minutes continuously after once pressurized. 5. The mist mode is perfect
