this model has a ton of good reviews, was thinking about this but open to suggestions. I see Harbor Freight has one that is similar, there are also a lot of I am assuming Chinese versions for cheaper on eBay etc
That's pretty much always the case with tools. The trick is finding the balance between your needs and price. Most cheap tools will work, sometimes not well or for long. Sometimes quality tools failIs this one of those instances that you get what you pay for??
Please let us know what you think after you've used it.I bought the one I linked off eBay for 50, guess I'll find out
For spraying stain on a fence, almost any of them will do the job. Stain is thin and easy to spray, I've achieved good results with a tank sprayer. The question really comes down to what else you want to do with it, and how long you want it to last. If you want to shoot various paints and stains without a lot of fussing over thinning and adjustment, and have several projects in mind, spend the money on a quality sprayer. If you compare the cost to having painter do the job, it's dirt cheap.OP., let me know how it goes. I have a fence around my backyard that is in desperate need of a scrub and repaint. I do NOT want to do it by hand. Airless sprayer seems like it would speed things up a lot, so please provide a review when you get a chance. Thanks!

The cheaper sprayers require a specific paint consistency, to thick and they plug or spray drops instead of fog. I have one that's near useless because of this. Everything requires three coats and drips are a constant problem.Painted fence. White picket fence to be exact.
