I decided to get a battery backpack sprayer, what a game changer. I could not believe how much faster I put down my preemergent. I should have done this a long time ago.

Last spring i bought my first back pack sprayer. Didn’t check ALL of the connections prior to spraying. Finished the job with my back and the backs of my legs being totally blue without knowing it until my wife told me.

Sorry for the tangent, but the devil is always in the details!

Thinking about getting a Ryobi 40v after using my backpack sprayer this past weekend putting bleach house cleaner out at long and high distances. Was able to do most of it but had to pump up the shite out of my traditional one.

Completely agree. Went cheap on a black and decker 4 gal but it’s awesome.

Not backpack, but I have a 2 gal. Ryobi battery sprayer that has been great. With this unit, thoroughly flush the hose/tank and wash the nozzle to prevent any corrosion from chemicals.

We’ve all been there. I’ve had the hose to the wand explode blue dye and chemicals in my face while spraying.

My fault - a combination of multiple factors, but you’re definitely not alone!

I've been eying the Dewalt 4 gallon.

I have a two gallon handheld solo sprayer and it's nice but IDK why I hate stopping and mixing more chemicals halfway through. 4 gallon would probably get my entire yard.

I got a Ryobi as I already had several of the battery operated tools and batteries.

I have one. I like it. But man is that thing heavy on your back when it’s full.

Dewalt 20v back pack sprayer.
Herbicide application game changer for sure.
Put it on your tailgate or a folding table when you fill it, it does get a bit heavy, but once you have it on, you’re good to go till it’s empty.
One of the best purchases I’ve made.

I bought a 4 gallon backpack that uses my DeWalt batteries and it works great, but it is only one rate: high volume high pressure. I can't do finesse spraying around plants I want to spare when using weed killer. The carry around pump sprayer allowed for more control in coverage
