Spear Jackson Action Pressure Sprayer Reviews Summary

Usability

Pros:

• "Very easy to use - even when full. I have used it for various products and it’s easy to clean so they don’t cross contaminate."
• "I managed to cover all my land without stopping to add more pressure."
• "Exactly what I wanted. Easy to use, not too big. Job done. Seems fairly robust too."
• "The spray is fairly easy to target the weeds without destroying everything else in the vicinity."
• "Gives good pressure for long enough to squirt the floor area and it's dead easy to use."
• "Simple to assemble and easy to use and clean."
• "This is very easy to set up and get going. I've had more expensive sprayers but this is the one I prefer."

Cons:

• "With the pressure of spraying the wand comes out of its connection and the product I am trying to spray comes out then with no control at the base, spray-trigger unit."
• "Purchased this in June 2023 and I’ve used it twice and am trying to use it again today and it does work! The contents just dribbles out the hose and I’m forever pumping the pressure pump."
• "The seal on this sprayer requires an extreme tightening down of the main seal ring."
• "The item leaks around the trigger (not something you want when sprayer full of weed killer)."
• "The spray at the end of the nozzle doesn’t close and I constantly have to readjust the screw top whilst using to keep pressure up."
• "You have to constantly use the pump action to get just a small drizzle out of the nozzle."
• "On the second usage I could not get it to spray."

Build Quality

Pros:

• "Build quality is decent, it's a cheap item but its solid build."
• "Waited a while for the Spear and Jackson sprayer to come back into stock as I've had one before and found worked really well.. better than others I'd had previously."
• "As far as using them goes they are as good as any I have used and to be honest better quality than more expensive ones out there."
• "The machine is solid and very well built. It was not a consistent spray either using weed killer or fence panels."
• "Just as sturdy as more expensive brands."
• "Great sprayers at a great price for a pair, excellent quality & fast deliver."
• "This sprayer feels built to last. Sturdy materials make it a reliable buddy for the long haul."

Cons:

• "Some of the plastic moulded parts still have sharp ridges on them."
• "Now useless and returns window on Amazon has closed so it will be going in the bin."
• "it's not powerful enough to blast dried on dirt."
• "The only downside is, I've found the actual pump to feel bit unstable & difficult to use once the air pressure has built up."
• "The handle for pressurising the unit is very flimsy."
• "The plastic tip cracked after one use, and is completely ineffective now."
• "The pump kept popping off the two little catches all the time and I was having to pump it quite often."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Great product, quality manufacturer works perfectly, perhaps not quite as good as the hozelock version, but for less than half the money a total bargain."
• "I was about to give up hope but fortunately spear and jackson also sell a replacement seal kit which appears to be made from a superior material."
• "Great vaue for money."
• "Seem to be of good quality."
• "Happy with the product overall."
• "For the price, it's a clean and easy-to-use product doing exactly what and how you expect it to."
• "For £12 you can’t go wrong!"

Cons:

• "Purchased April 2021 and used the red one for moss killer twice... Expected more than 2 uses from this product. Makes it very expensive."
• "Very disappointed with this product which was not particularly cheap and dead expensive for one use."
• "Description on Amazon shows 2 complete sprayers but twin box only contains 1 spray wand that must be shared."
• "Although I got a faulty pump I think this was just unfortunate. Customer care at Spear and Jackson was brilliant."
• "On the second usage I could not get it to spray."
• "The lance gets right into shrubs and its great for spraying under leaves."
• "The only downside is, I've found the actual pump to feel bit unstable & difficult to use once the air pressure has built up."
