Re: [nafex] Hand Sprayers



Hello,

It is an "Olympic", made by PPG Industries, model 52199 (old).

It is a combo sprayer good for spraying deck finishes or fruit/veg.

I bought it at a yard sale for a couple of bucks.  I wanted a second
sprayer for use with herbicide, but used it for pesticide first and
decided I liked it too much to use it for herbicide.

The extra long hose and wand are REALLY nice.

Regards,
Tom
