Sure Shot B8000PL Refillable 1-Quart Non-Aerosol Aluminum Sprayer – Pressuriz...

Nifty little sprayer. I do a fair amount of wrenching on vehicles, both for basic maintenance and sometimes upgrades. I prefer to use rubbing alcohol over brake cleaner for most cleaning, because it's substantially more economical and is gentler on my skin. But I've always had to put it on a rag/paper towel, which limits coverage/penetration. Saw a youTube video where a mechanic had a large version of this bottle, which he filled with brake cleaner which he buys in bulk in gallon jugs, to save money. I got this one, filled with 91% rubbing alcohol, and have been very happy with it. So nice to have an arguably non-toxic solvent (albeit weaker) in a sprayable, and refillable container. Now get much better coverage and penetration into nooks and crannies, and possibly while using overall less fluid. Easy to use, and has held pressure for several months now. Recommend.

This works as you would expect. Make sure you understand that this is the plastic version, the black part in the photo is plastic. There is another version with that part as metal. There are certain things you can put in one and not the other. Overall works well but again, make sure what you intend to put into this is appropriate.

Tried using brake cleaner first day and did not work so I used wd 40 instead with a new nozzle and same results the item quit functioning after about 2 hours of use

Brakleen is a perfect tool but it always either the can has product left, but no pressure to spay it out, or a can with a lot of pressure, but no product. A can that was $7 bucks to boot.With the sure shot- get a gallon can of Brakleen, this reusable aluminum spray bottle and you're set - the bottle is a little pricey- but, so far, it's durable, going to have it a while.Drop the price a little, I'd own at least 3 bottles- a gallon of pb blaster,brakleen and light lube silicone spray- perfect

Works greatComes with extra spray nozzles.I used it with wd-40 will save money in the long run buying wd-40 by the gallon.

Supposed to work with solvents, but after using acetone in it, it would not spray the next day. Still had 130 psi, but would not spray. Released the pressure, changed the sprayer assembly, and it worked fine for a few hours before dying again. If you are not spraying acetone, this is probably a very nice sprayer. It comes with different nozzles from a fine mist to a stream, and hold the pressure well.

I know the target market for something like this is probably an auto shop that goes through a lot of WD40 or brake cleaner or something, but I clean a lot of things in house which need isopropyl alcohol. They actually sell disposable aerosol cans of the stuff, which is super handy compared to dipping into a bottle with a cotton ball every time you need some, but also comes at a ridiculous premium. I figured I could just keep this and refill it, gas it up with a bike pump and be off to the races. So I bought a bike pump with a built-in pressure gauge that will deliver 140 psi and when the can arrived, I realized my first problem: the stem on this thing isn't threaded, and any bike pump wouldn't be able to lock onto the stem. It was made to be gassed up with an air chuck like what you'd expect to find in an auto shop. So I hauled it down to the garage to fire up my compressor, and here's where I ran into problem #2; I couldn't get it above 50-60 psi even with my compressor. Holding it in place was imprecise and because I had no gauge in line, I couldn't be sure I wasn't overcharging it. But because my hands kept slipping between the chuck and stem, it was actually losing pressure each time. I finally strapped it into a bench vice and still couldn't make the desired pressure. And it was at this point I was ready to send it back, but in a desperation move, I broke out my old tap and die set and tried carving my own threads into this damnable little stem. I managed to get deep enough that I could clamp the bike pump onto it, brought it up to 140, and it's since worked just as I'd hoped, holding its pressure for weeks without my having to bother it.Short version: PROS- it holds its pressure nicely enough. Nice red color makes it look like a little fire extinguisher, which is maybe not what you want with a bottle of flammable liquid, but at least it's easy to find.CONS- There's no reason the stem can't be threaded, Schrader valves have been threaded for a hundred years now, it's a pain in the butt to use without this common feature, seriously, what were you guys thinking? Also, you can't use a straw with these spray heads like with a disposable can of WD40, and if you want to switch from coarse to fine mists, you actually have to change the sprayer head, which is silly and shouldn't be necessary; even the disposable iso cans come with an adjustable spray head. There's no pressure gauge, either, so you better have one built into your air line if you don't want this thing to explode in your face. I'm getting mad all over just thinking about it, honestly.

Much better than the big sure shot sprayer or even the silver ones with the pistol grip. I have 2 of these and 1 each of the other models. I did take a button off of a aerosol can because I liked the spray pattern better.
