Do you folks have experience with specific hand wands on your sprayers that you really like or don’t like? I’m almost done building a 25-gal sprayer for my ATV. I still need to buy a hand wands for spraying road sides.

I had seen Dr C Harper pushing these GreenGarde spray guns, but I’m not sure I like the lack of a longer tube and even the cheap version is pricey.

I got a pretty beefy metal one a TSC that did a good job until I left it hanging on the wall with water in it and it froze. 🤬

Under $50

i got your same one 2 weeks ago. Works like a dream!

Then using it this week my wife backed up the quad and broke the plastic nipple off the bottom.

so.... There's that.
 
Wives are handy for that kind of thing ..LOL. She usually drives the tractor and I spray tree rows. Somehow she managed to run over the spray gun when changing spraying locations with the tractor on a rock road.
 
If you go to TSC to buy the wand, double check it has a strainer screen for the nozzle.

I buy a lot of hardware and fittings there, but I’ve been finding more and more that they’re a good 30% higher than Amazon on a lot of stuff.
 
Once you go to the jd-9 you’ll never go back to the cheap flimsy wands.
 
I was hoping an owner would chime in. Is the “muzzle” not too close to your hand on those? Seems like it would drip chemical on your hand?

It’s literally what every professional sprayer uses. It’s a real piece of machinery. I wear rubber gloves anyways.

Way less gets on you than a leaky POS wand thing. Ha
 
I have the Green Guard (JD-9). Buy Once, Cry Once. Great quality and makes marginal sprayers work like a champ.

I just scored a used one for <$40. Supposedly it works fine. Looks like they’re repairable with rebuild kits available online, so I took a chance.
