I bought one last year and fitted a car tyre velve by drilling a hole and pushing the velve.I use it on connies  for tfr and do not pump  by hand.  I use a electric tyre pump for the pressure.I made the wand longer by cutting it in two and adding 5 mm tubeing.Which I mount on a pole.

I bought one this morning for a spare. Better than the one I normally use.

I've avoided buying a pressure sprayer until now. There was no way I'd pay £20+ for a few bits of low-tech plastic.

This one seems about the right price - £9.98.

How Halfords and the like can justify their prices, I don't know.

But I'm just odd, I suppose. I ask myself how much it's worth to me. Then, if that's close to the asking price, I might buy it.

I bought an aluminium tube a couple of years ago from B&Q and extended the reach on the one I've got, had it for three years, came from Wilkinsons.

Could do with another 25l of tfr. I've had the same barrel of fleetclean for the last three years and have not been that impressed to be honest. Might try a higher foaming one next. Any suggestions?

Some of the Lidl and Aldi stuff is pretty good to  be honest. Used to buy cycling kit from there, Mrs has their running kit. Cheap as chips and lasts pretty good, third of the price of anything else.
