![]() I wanted a backpack sprayer that would not quit on me, that had as many metal connections as possible, and that would feel good to use. I think having some of the connections built with metal parts makes this pack appear more durable and professional. No need to swap out for a different spray nozzle head. I used the brass nozzle that came with the pack and I felt the stream adjustments were perfect. Having not to pump the tank to get pressure is a godsend. The battery did not quit and remained strong throughout my entire spray, Nice! I used an entire 4 gallon tank to apply organic compounds to my lawn and garden. Even so, the first spray experience was great. I'm not a small dude so it's going to take a while to get my custom fit. I'm still working on adjusting the straps for the best fit. I think that step should have been near the front. Make sure you remove this cap and replace it with they syphon screen tube! The instructions leave this step to the very end and I almost did not replace the cap. There is a small orange cap inside the tank at the very bottom of the tank. Also, there was some water in the pack due to testing so note th at you may get some water dripping out of the handle. The only issue I had is the diagram for adding the lithium grease is tiny and not very specific as to where they expect you to add the lubricant. Out of the box, the pack is easy to assemble. This is based on assembly and the first use. None of this is complicated-just removing some Phillips-head screws until the pump is visible, then tightening the clamp, then replacing everything-but I’m pretty disappointed that two units in a row, of different models, had the exact same problem. As tight as it might be, I bet you can get it tighter by hand than it comes from the factory. There’s a silver ring around the hose at the attachment point, with a flathead screw for tightening. Specifically, if you follow the sprayer end’s hose into the disassembled unit, you will find where it attaches to the pump. After multiple rounds of troubleshooting with support and completely disassembling units to install new pumps sent by SprayersPlus, I have now fixed BOTH of their sprayers and the solution is pretty simple: You need to tighten the ever-loving f*** out of the hose clamp. Convinced that spending up for a backpack model would mean a more premium product, I took a chance on this 105ex, only to have the same issue with leaking during the initial water test. My first, a 2-gallon handheld sprayer, leaked severely out of the box. I found the brand SprayersPlus through the recommendations of lawn care YouTubers. You’ll be sorry you didn’t Doran’s extra money and use the bed of pickup or stair to put it on when full…. Btw go for the 4 gallon over the 2 gallon. ![]() I know you saw it on YouTube on every lawn channel and thought well if they use it… and your thinking well I have a pump sprayer and that works. If you leave chemicals in it overnight and knock it around well maybe not. Will it last? That is always a gamble but with tank cleaner and maintenance I’m convinced it will. Additionally, the 105 is superiorly engineered and a overall better experience. The 105ex is going to give a perfectly even PSI application while the pump just can’t do that. It’s like comparing a Volkswagen Bettle to a Lamborghini. My thinking…well I can just use my 2 gallon dewalt which is a good sprayer and it was like 35$. I hesitated for to long purchasing this because the price. I also will be using it for tenacity, fertilizers, and micro nutrients. I’ ve used this once for a pesticide application and it basically paid it self off. Use pumps for that because you don’t wanna cross contamination. FYI I would never put either of those in my 105ex ever. If you plan on spraying only round up or glyphosate on a small area, then no. If you take care of your own lawn and pesticides then I would say yes.
