From their website:
MADDOX™ Refillable Pressurized Sprayer is almost three times the capacity of most aerosol cans. The sprayer can be used with bulk cleaners, degreasers, penetrating oils, or solvents.
Easy to use, just pressurize the reservoir with a standard air chuck
Nozzle converts from spray to stream
Environmentally friendly, eliminates aerosol products
Copper internal tubing reduces risk of corrosion
80-150 PSI operating pressure for wide area coverage - Авто та транспорт
That pin will never be seen again….
I had the same thought. They should have a built in pouch or something.
@@MikeOrazzicould use one of those small, or should I say tiny, zip-lock bags and a rare earth magnet and stick it on the can somewhere, but yeah, they should've done something.
This has been on my HF list - thanks for the review
I used one of these almost 30 years ago. Now I know where to get another.
These were in use when I started in manufacturing back in 1978
Shure shot is the original. Support the inventor.
@@Arlatube*Nah. George D Hummel patented this in 1932. I don't think he is worried.*
Credit for the straight-forward, get it done instructional video.
Ok now I need a recipe for non-chlorinated brake cleaner, I use a ton of that stuff. Oh wait that comes in 1 & 5 gal cans.
A looooong time ago, someone (Credible) told me that just Plain Water works good to remove Brake Fluid (nothing greasy). It won't cost much to try it.
.
@@DD-uf2uo*Correct. Non-silicone BFs are water or IPA soluble.*
*Non-chlorinated in a mist is flammable, near-explosive. Unless you're working for an Eco-Idiot boss, non-flammable Brakleen chlorinated 05090 and Elecro-Motive 05019 gallons available on Amzn. Use less for same result with a cig in your mouth. Well, I do anyway. Cheers!*
Chlorinated brake cleaner creates phosgene gas when heated up though. I'd personally rather deal with the fire risk than the chemical attack. I frequently use brake cleaner to clean up dirty metal before welding.@@blackrifle6736
The first spray can like that I remember using was from Sure Shot. We got it from the Zep salesman. Then my Matco Tool dealer started selling them too. These Maddox brand sprayers from Harbor Freight work exactly the same. I fill each with a different solvent or fluid that I can purchase in bulk, like brake cleaner or WD40.
Looks like it'd be great for hitting parts with EvapoRust that would be too big to put in a bucket or drum.
I use Zep products because of Jimmy
Needs a spot to stow the pin🤨...
Not sure what type of metal is the pin but if it is ferromagnetic you can glue a magnet to the can (or just place on the can without glue) and you can store the pin on it.
Yah thats a good idea, I wonder why they couldn't have made the nozzle adjustable like what is found on most spray bottles?...@@asmdre84
My old Sure Shot had a drilled and tap hole for the pin, so I just copied the location on the handle bottom of my new Sure Shot. Cost cutting to save an operation in manufacture I’m sure.
Tape
These are great! I keep WD-40 in one and Acetone in another. Next time I fill mine I’m going to measure the volume and mark on a clear container where 2/3 full is.
Nice one!
Nice video.
Well done
Great idea! Plus, if you're real frugal you can use some old brake fluid as it's a great rust penetrate itself. Just be careful what you spray it on because it does a bad number on paint.
I use a 5 gal jug for a pressure pot on some jobs without water.
If you don’t have running water, you can use an air compressor to rig a small supply.
Great for hand washing.
Tubing for a dip tube. Air line to pressurize the headspace as needed to drive flow. Keep whip end of dip tube short to avoid auto siphoning your 5 gal.
It looks great for acetone / ATF mix
Or motor oil.
I use a ZEP 32 oz. Professional Spray Bottle found at the big box stores with a mixture of kerosene and gear oil. The nozzle is adjustable for a spray or stream pattern. Won't buy WD-40 or the like as they doubled their prices since the pandemic and have not really gone down. But that pressurized refillable looks tempting though. Thanks.
Looks a bit better quality than a previous sprayer they offered some 20 years ago. It was made from aluminum and was prone to oxidation depending what was placed in the container.
I like it 👍😁
I used them in an industrial mould-making application to spray mould release that we purchased in 55 gallon drums. I'm going to HF tomorrow (I got several WD40 and other cans 1/2 full, no pressure....
Well done, if you show up with quality like this again in my algo, I'll probably sub. Have a great day.
Not a bad flame thrower when filled with gasoline
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought that.
*Ha!, ha! Pure evil and I love it.*
A couple things come to mind. One, it seems overly large, and it's unclear if it has a rigid siphon. Two, you need a dry air source, or other gas mix. Three, it's not a certified container, so you have a tiny bit of liability if there is an accident while crossing state lines.
Wonder if they make an extended spout or flex spout 🤔 probably would be easy to make one though.
Sure Shot is the original manufacturer of this style of spray can. Their nozzles should interchange with the Maddox sprayers. Sure Shot has a variety of nozzles, including flex nozzles
I worked many years in a high volume brake shop. We used them for brake clean. They work great until you drop it on the nozzle or air valve. The boss liked it because the cost savings but seemed to me, we used more fluid than the aerosol cans. Not to mention the tedious refill process through that small port and constantly having to add air.
I guess it depends who is saving the money. At work, screw it get a new aerosol. At home, oh wait, let me save some money here 😁
I know a couple of shops that tried them and went back to spray cans.
i have a refillable can that i got a long time ago but it is just slightly taller than a regular can haven't seen one since runs out of pressure and liquid quickly being a smaller can though. never seem to use it i am always looking for cans by their color and forget to use it.
Now I just need to figure out which states still sell the good brake fluid in bulk and stock up
Honestly, I wouldn't store it under pressure here in Florida, even just out in the shed. It seems like a rather large inconvenience to have to pressurize it, then bleed the pressure off every time I want to use it. For myself, I can't think off a use case where this would be useful. Maybe one that allows me to manually pump it a few times, similar to the big plastic one you use for weed killer.
Would be good if you use a LOT of the liquid. I get wd40 in gallons and use a squirt bottle. Lighter and more controllable
Went to go buy one of these but at the price. I just couldn’t get myself to pull the trigger. For now, I think I’ll just keep using a chemical resistant spray bottle
I used disposable air dusters, which I think contain butane. I really would appreciate you testing just air to the maximum pressure you can reach with that little pump, please.
Yes please!
*Nooo. Never Butane. No one is that stupid. Falcon dusters like found at Costco have always used Freon, first R-12 now R-134 (Difluoroethane).*
The second most important thing to test would be how well and long it will hold its pressure.
My local HF has been out of them for months.
Mine too! I was actually shocked to see this one and two others on the shelf.
I had the same issue. Then one day when I went into harbor freight for something else and to my surprise the shelf was full.
I waited 6 months before they had engine stand available but they gave me a considerable discount.
Think this would work with wool wax? Not sure if thats too thick
Even a cheap dollar store spray bottle has an adjustable tip. …… come on HF. For $40 this isn’t to much to ask.
Yes, an adjustable twist spray nozzle would of been a nice touch!
An empty windex bottle works just fine for me.
👍
This would make a great bear or critter repellant sprayer
I was thinking flame thrower
@@RJMachine62*Yep. Might be fun to try...*
*Genuine Bear Spray shoots a Capsicum stream about 20 feet...*
Need a slim hose attachment. For inside frame rails of vehicles
Gonna get 2
Looks like it could be used for a small.painting project
I'd like to know how long between recharging with air, and how it stands up over time. Can you revisit this in a years time?
As long as you fill it with liquid it'll hold forever or until you run out of expellant
Hmm, think Ill stick with my Wurth pump up bottles, bigger filler, no pin to lose when changing the spray pattern and don't always have access to a compressor when on site ?
Sounds like you should, as it works for you! ;). Options are great! 😃
Napa sells a rebuild kit for these when it comes time.
*Nice to know. Thank you.*
I have some WD-40 cans that went flat but still have over half the fluid in them. This is just the solution I've been looking for. I'm also thinking of using this for winter underbody coating, as the cans can be a real mess to work with.
There are ways to use a tire valve to add air, or put the can in a good plastic bag and puncture it. I buy no spray cans of wd40 at estate/garage sales for little. I have a plastic wd40 brand spray bottle.
Does it come in a larger size?
a trigger pump oil can ($3.97 at h f) will probably work too , but won't spray , just squirt .
I use the spray bottle that came with the gallon of WD40 when I bought it.
Would like to have one for sure but it’s high priced 😢
I might consider it with a 25% off sale at some point. They are $40 here.
@@Troy_Built*$40 everywhere in the US.*
*That is relative to what? Genuine Milwaukee Mfg Co sprayer runs you about $80 in the US. Ebay used may be less, however WorthPoint grade vintage ones are really pricey.*
Needs to be supplied with 100 extra pins included!
Can you take the pin out under pressure?
Yes, as long as you don't pull the trigger. ;)
Can it be used for pesticide?
Ummm... pump sprayers have been around forever. Buy what ever size you need. 56oz to 5 gallons or more...
Paint it pink and you could fill it with Bud Light.
Sounds like you have some experience!
Nope I don't drink.
*Ha!, ha! Roger that!*
do you think it could spray dyes alright?
Stick to cheap paint sprayers. They have much nicer pattern as a fan not a circle . You can get a fan or a circle with one of those paint guns. However, with this you’re stuck with a circular pattern which isn’t as uniform.
Good idea,
Have y'all seen the price of WD-40 lately? It's ridiculous.
I have a stone wheeled truck deliver me a quart every morning for my cereal.They’ve never charged me?😊
Tractor Supply had the gallon for 19 buck but now it's 32 dollars here.
5 gallon of break cleaner was 50 bucks there.
can it use paint maybe aerosol paint
*Instructions say do not...*
Can I fill it with fluid film?
You could put whatever you want in it, if you were going to do that you should use a reducer so the fluid isn’t as thick
Hey 😊😊😊😊
I use mine with brake fluid.
Fluid or cleaner?
Fluid,used as rust proofing.
@@donhorner6019*Um, non-Silicone content brake fluids are hygroscopic...*
The pressure can be regulated by adding an inline pressure regulator or set the output pressure from the compressor to the desired pressure.
If anyone uses it for fluid film please post your experience, thanks
I'm half tempted to put NH oil in one and try it.
WD40 is a weetiny skosh of hydrotreated light pump oil and Deodorized Kerosene. That's it.
Wired sent a can to a lab that decided the ingredients. www.wired.com/2009/04/st-whatsinside-6/#:~:text=Mineral%20Oil%20Seriously.,goop%20inside%20homemade%20lava%20lamps.
@@1D10CRACY I have an original MSDS from when they had to list the ingredients with percentage ranges. it doesn't list all those things. Kerosene is the water displacement component. You are prolly too young to remember - - When in the 50s and 60s and 70s And prolly the 40s and 30s too the wires for the spark plugs in a car would crack fairly quickly with age. The filth from the road contained a lot of mineral dust. So the wires would leak electricity preventing the engine from starting. Open the hood at night and turn the key and it was a wild ass light show of sparks and rivers of glowing energy all over the place. We'd just toss a cup of Kero on the wires and the car would start just fine. The kero displaces water.
We never used kerosene on the wires, guess we didn't know that trick. I remember one night my brother had the hood open on his car and I was cranking it over. We had just rebuilt the carburetor and he was spraying starting fluid into the carb
At one point, he yelled "Stop!... The engine looks like the aurora borealis!". Being kids we laughed! Good times.. The younger generation will never know. ;)
I'll just fill up my weed sprayer,😂
To me it just looks as a flamethrower xd
There's also the added benefit of not having the chemical propellant which is obviously good for the environment, but also means you don't have to worry about that pesky thing called ventilation.
Wrong. There's aerosolized chemicals from the liquid. Enjoy your neurological damage.
5 gallons of brake cleaner is like $100.
Eh. Why not just use a spray bottle. They always work, have adjustable spray patterns with no pins to lose, and don’t need to be constantly refilled with air nor will they leak air and be empty when needed most. I’ve always used WD40 spray bottles as well as other chemically rated spray bottles that don’t degrade from chemical usage. Seems to have a similar spray pattern and work great on WD40, etc which I buy in the gallon size as well. Cheaper too. I’ve even sprayed aggressive chemicals like acetone in those chemical spray bottles and it worked great with long life too. Maybe I’m missing something here??? Why?
If that works for you, awesome! I don't think you are missing anything, except for a constant spray without having to pump a trigger. Life is about options!
I’ve not found any spray bottles that don’t die after a few refills. The trigger pump just gives up and they won’t spray. I’ve tried cheep ones, expensive ones, and everything in between.
Spray bottles always work?
Seriously, try the spray bottles actually made by WD40. I think I bought mine at tractor supply or maybe northern tool years ago. They work well, never had a problem with them unless you drop them and they crack. The bottles I have in service now have been in service for years. Otherwise, try the RADNOR brand chemical spray bottles at Home Depot. Think those are USA made too. I use those for less aggressive chemicals but they work great too. I understand the advantage of not have to pump a handle, but it’s not like you’re painting and need uninterrupted flow here. I spray WD40, light oil, penetrating oil, plus cleaners and degreasers even ATF and acetone. I actually use one to spray cutting fluid as well. Work great and cheap, great convenience factor. Just need the right bottle, not a common one that degrades with chemicals or oils. I think the issue is most people don’t use rated sprayers and expect magical results. Use the right sprayer!
Needed a large quantity of PB blaster recently so I bought a gallon from local farm store,came with a spray bottle…..cool. I filled the bottle,don’t remember overfilling,came out next day and found fluid drooling out the nozzle. Twisted nozzle to closed. Will see how it operates after more fluid has been used……..long story short,these pressurized cans are great! have used them for years when I was in the dealership.
So about $70 including a gallon of WD40. I haven't spent $70 dollars in WD40 in the last 30 years...
Ohhhh! I like that for insecticide and herbicide!👍
In small amounts, maybe. The Schrader seems a lot better than pumping, but I wonder how many times I'd have to pressurize it while spraying my house's foundation.
Most of those are for solvents only, not water based liquids. They have to specify they can handle both or they can rust and explode.
If it is like a SureShot sprayer you should also mention that water based fluids are not to be used with it. Also like a SureShot is that the containment vessel itself is painted inside, so if you use a solvent that thins or removes paint such as lacquer thinner (the world’s finest crud cutter I might add paint,grease,adhesives,tar,gum. School custodians love me!) the solvent will dissolve the interior paint and it takes awhile for the color to go away in your sprayed medium and sometimes becomes too thick to be sprayed and you end up dumping the contents out. It takes awhile to end up with a paint free interior. And before you get the idea, no, you cannot spray anything viscous like paint. My biggest complaint about these is that a flat was not formed where the fill opening is located and thus you are trying to seal on a radius. To overcome this the Sure Shots use a delrin plastic,washer that fits into a recess machined into the underside of the fill plug. The washer easily falls out of its recess when the plug is removed and can get lost if you are not watching for it. In order for the plastic washer to do its job the fill plug has to be screwed in tight or sitting on the shelf it loses pressure over time which is VERY FRUSTRATING when you go to use it next time to say the least!
If you really want to save money... Use ATF instead of the PB junk. And use gasoline when you need a good solvent.
Half ATF and half Acetone makes a great penetrant as well! (But I will still use PB blaster in a pinch!)
Mix diesel n atf fluid.Cheaper
I would be concerned about dieseling....given the pressure used in the vessel.
*Huh? 1> HF specifically cautions against flammable liquid use. 2> Not even close to pressure need for that to occur. Meh!*
@@blackrifle6736 "Working pressure (psi) 80-150 PSI"
Application: Bulk chemicals such as cleaners, degreasers, penetrating oils, solvents, and lubricants. You are correct the manual does state non-flammable liquids. There's a reason for that.
Step 1. Lose pin..
60 or 70 year old technology
Maybe even older. I guess you are just trying to validate the concept?
Tips are so small and get clogged easily. $40 is not cheap, but...Good for not so common chemicals, like gasoline, acetone, etc...
i like the idea of tapping an old brakleen can with a tire valve stem. saves you fitty bucks, does the same thing. joe biden's america keeps me from having nice things like premade stuff or american made.
Using something not designed for pressure, for pressure... what could go wrong? I agree about Brandon.
@@mprooveit3588 Those brake cleaner cans actually have more pressure in them than these refillable spray cans are designed for, and from what I've heard and read these refillable spray cans don't maintain enough pressure long enough to use up the contents of the can....so you end up refilling it several times with air....and unless you are working in a shop with an air system that's always ready to go, it makes no sense for the regular homeowner, who'd need to plug in their air compressor, wait for it to build pressure, and then fill the can LOL.
My HF has been out of those refillable cans for months...and for $40, I got 2 different brand ones that are closer in size to a regular aerosol spray can, and have yet to use them LOL.
How do you figure a president has anything to do with this? You clowns and your narratives.
@@mprooveit3588 How do you think spray cans work? They are under constant pressure. Its somewhere around 100 psi or a little more. What might be the issue is the can metal might be very thin and too weak to have a valve placed in it. The bottom or the top might be thicker, but I still don't know if its strong enough / I never looked into this.
brakleen cans are made for pressure, that's why they're in rolled steel cans. just try to limit the pressure to 50psi or less, even though they should technically be able to handle a bit more. basically those disposable cans can be reused, we just typically don't see them as such.
our shop used cans exactly like the ones in this video, they almost never spray correctly and would dribble a constant stream right from the tip no matter how much adjusting and fiddling i would do to them. half mist, half waterfall of wasted fluid. they would work right for about 2 full cans and then always would begin to not spray correctly after that, like the nozzle seals would deform.
$40 for a metal can is a ripoff. Even $20 is too much. WTF?
You think $40 is high, the "SureShot" brand is $65! These are one of those items you buy on sale and use your Harbor Freight cash. Or you just make your own. ;)
Why’d you waste a full on such a worthless fluid?
I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but I'm guessing you are asking what wd40 is good for? It's very useful as a cleaner, it's great for getting stickers, glue and grease off of items. It works as a thin lubricant. And it excels at displacing water, what it was originally designed for. It gets a bad rap because people try to use it as a rust penetrant. If you look at a can today, it never brags to be a penetrant, it just says it helps loosen sticky parts. My go to for penetrating fluid is Kroil, or PB Blaster (Original). Hopefully this helps!
Pure junk
Or, fantastic! I like it! For me, it's not junk at all! It does everything it's advertised to do and is built very well! It's also awesome for spraying NHO under your car. :D
Excellent! I have one and never used it yet! 🫣😂👍
Break cleaner for greasy jobs works great.Oh and low pressure works good for soak ,higher pressure for removal of thicker stuff or blowing off or out of stuff. heck windex for windows lol
What about the>>[ FIRSTINFO A1638 Patented Max ] ???
