Just used mine for the first time today and I'm blown away. I used the Harbor Freight Avanti ones for a year, and they did an outstanding job for the money. But this thing is a huge upgrade. You don't have to l dilute the paint and cleanup is way easier. Get one. You won't be disappointed.
I tried it with the milwaukee impact but the cordless drill worked much better. The drill was also milwaukee 18v and i used the high speed max torque settings. I followed the instructions on how to keep it unclogged and had zero issues. Pretty useful that it can be used in any orientation
Used this with the gen 4 Milwaukee impact driver with new forge battery and I think it’s almost to powerful 😂. Used one of the narrow tips and it came out FAST. Was shocked because of how thick the paint was yet how smooth it layed it down.
Nice video..very well done, I have a lot of there products also, but no bugging people for electric plugs, not that $500 plus Dewalt battery version. The finish looked great.. I want to try the stain tip for fences..thanks for the info..
You can get a near professional quality sprair.That doesn't hold the paint in the handle which means you only have about a pound and a half 3 pounds of weight instead of up to 15lbs depending upon the weight of the drill. You can also rent a professional quality paint sprayer for fairly cheep... 40 dollars for something similar at harbor freight
The Graco 26D360 sprayer, and any similar hand-held sprayer, are most definitely not ideal for large jobs. Apart from their weight and clumsy handling, they must be constantly refilled, a messy tedious process. For large jobs, spray-gun/pump two-piece is ideal, though not without its own unique frustrations.
I just purchased one, I am on the fence about it. It is very finicky. I had issues with it leaking and losing the spray. I went through filling the paint cup three times, then had issues with it not being able to prime and spray. Still on the fence, i liked it when it worked.
Seriously debating hetting this tomorrow. I'm a handyman and typically try to push paint jobs onto a friwnd of mine but i see where im missing out on opportunities SO should invest a little more to get a bigger unit? I'm only spraying a single door or 2 and maybe a table at a time. Nothing big. Would really appreciate some opinions
I’m a handyman as well. I just picked it up today for a small 10feet of fence I’m painting tomorrow. Seem like it’s gunna be really helpful, I hate painting! I also have a job with some porch columns that need repair and painting, also some doors that need painting so this thing will have paid for itself if it works well.
can the pump be replaced in this model like the other handheld Graco sprayers...im having trouble finding the specific pump part for this model or does it share the same pump as the others .....or worse is this basically a disposable sprayer once the pump is shot????
As a heads up I want to say I got my paint sprayer on sale for a little less than two hundred dollars, its also what i would consider a semi pro series tool. Up to 5 galloans of pai t woth out the need to refill. And you dont have to hold the waeight of the drill and sprayer and paint combined so... I am saying that at the beginning of the video before I know anything about the review so maybe I'll see a use or need that works here for the price
well your talking about a 1- 5 gal sprayer. but the biggest difference between why people buy this vs those types is having a 25 foot hose full of paint. you may not have to carry the quart of paint with the gun but ur carrying it in the hose. if your doing a small project that requires less than a gallon to a gallon of paint, you have just lost a lot of paint in the hose, and to try to get that back into the paint can without adding water to it is not practical compared to just dumping a flex liner cup back into your gallon pail without diluting or contaminating the paint. This is the main reason why you have small project airless sprayers in addition to a 5 gallon sprayer.
As a heads up, those are two different tools for different jobs. Apples to oranges. This is to spray a quantity that wouldn't be possible through a stand unit - a quart.
I've used the expensive graco handheld you can't really clean it and when it breaks you have to replace it. BUT I painted alot of cabinets with that gun the price point of this compared to that gun makes it worth it. You can definitely make your money back with something like this
@@dragonking8817 I have the ultra cordless sprayer. That was my concern before buying but if you make sure it's cleaned out properly and store it with pump armor that should prevent pump problems. My guess is a lot of guys are lazy and don't clean their sprayers properly
I asked a question about this just now You could cover the drill Drills get dirty over time anyhow when used, but yeah, I don't want paint over mine. Let's see what the uploader comes back with to my question
I just bought one this morning on a whim without a clue how to use it so thanks a lot! This seems really straight forward. Clean out looks fairly easy too 🫡
if you reverse your drill direction, can you remove the paint?
😂😂😂😂
That's hilarious!
I think that's a great idea for the v2!
yes
ABSOLUTELY!!! All ya got to do is play this video in reverse!!😂😂

Good review. Thanks. I bet arm fatigue would be an issue for larger jobs if you used this...it looks heavy.

@@MrKirby365 This is an airless sprayer. The HF is HVLP. A lot of latex paints cannot be uniformly sprayed with an HVLP.
Wish they sold them in the UK. I'd get one tomorrow
Definitely getting one
I like that it's very compact and would be easy to store. How long would it last for someone who paints for a living?
Is the pump replaceable like on the graco battery powered sprayers ?
Question:
How much spray drift do you get that comes back onto your drill?
Maybe get a drill dedicated to the sprayer only because you will end up getting paint on it 😅

Hello. Can i use other tips too ? Or only using that tips for that sprayer ?
And can i put tipguard extension in that sprayer?
What was the base of your primer? Can this bad boy handle oil based? Latex? Anything? Or do certain paints clog it up?
Water based only
Do you know if this sprays shellac primer which uses alcohol as the solvent?
No, water based products only.
use the 310 tip for cabinets and inside for Zero voc=no cancer.

@@A2ZGeekhow did that work out?
Hi, where can I buy it in the UK London?
How do we search your list in Amazon.
The link opens in reg browser and not the app.

I'm painting my car with this gun this weekend!
Appreciate it greatly!
how many square meters can be painted?
Can you use oil paint with this unit ?
Here's all the specs: www.graco.com/us/en/homeowner/product/26d360-truecoat-360-cordless-connect.html
No, the manual says water-based only.

Single action fixed pump. Once it’s done, it’s done. My best is 100 gallons and you will have burned it up.
Can this be used with one of the extensions spray rod?
I have not tried that. Not sure about that
How does it compare with the graco dewalt gun
It's super similar. You just don't have the ability to control the speed
Thx!
Use the chapstick on the male parts of the connection not female
no he did it correctly. instructions say use the lube stick on the paint cup cap on the rubberlike seal.
@@moofmanx2 I'm saying it from an engineering standpoint. Not reading the instructions view

Seen many who said the pumps break down a lot. Not worth the cost
That's what I'm afraid of. There's other options for a few hundred more but entails more parts to purchase and clean but I don't paint often

How does the pump break if it's driven by the drill
The motors burn out… the battery powered ones have replaceable motors, but are 2-3x the cost. The o-rings can be easily replaced if they get torn up

instead of handheld i rather they have shoulder body machine and a 1.5m hole with spray gun and yeah alot of weight off your hand
That's fair. Not for everyone.
They have made one. Graco Quickshot. This is 189 usd vs 1200 or so for the quickshot
Just used mine for the first time today. I could be doing something wrong. Because when I used it the paint was splatting. Instead of a smooth spray.
Same here. Used mine today and same thing.
Try diluting it
Feedback from others!
What do you love and what do you hate?
Was this sponsored?
It was not sponsored. They sent me a review unit.
Pass on since after a while that drill will have paint all over it.
I asked a question about this just now
You could cover the drill
Drills get dirty over time anyhow when used, but yeah, I don't want paint over mine. Let's see what the uploader comes back with to my question
Who cares if a drill gets overspray? If it's being used it will eventually look worse than a bit of overspray...

This product is overdue. This product is over-priced. This product needs competing brands.
Junk
I just bought one this morning on a whim without a clue how to use it so thanks a lot! This seems really straight forward. Clean out looks fairly easy too 🫡
