    Anyone try these sprayers?

    Trying to pick up a few spray bottles locally for ONR and Optimum APC, forgot to add them to my AG order. People seem to mention Walmart and Dollar Stores as well for sprayers. Or I guess I could just use an old windex bottle?

    The built in funnel seems nice to not spill, doesnt say the size of the bottle though.

    Shop Plastic Spray Bottle and Funnel at Lowes.com

    Save yourself some money by buying the industrial sprayers at Home Depot for $5, or ACE hardware you can buy a pump sprayer (great for apc AND onr on the go) for $15... it will last you years and save the headache of replacing the cheaper sprayers.

    Auto Zone spray bottles, $2 each and last. I use them with ONR, IPA, APC's, detail sprays, and even Optimum hyper spray polish when I used that.

    walmart ones are actually pretty decent. There are two types, get the $3 ones that come in a bunch of colors and has clear plastic. The $1 ones that are only blue on top and not clear plastic are pretty much garbage.

    I have one Zep. It sucks a**.



    These are excellent sprayers and are available locally at Super Walmarts. They are Rubber Maid Professional Sprayers, the spray head is identicle to Griots:



    These are from AG. They are pretty good, not as good as above:



    These are from CG. They use a "chemical resistant" version of the spray head of the one from AG. The spray heads are both made by Tolco. AG now sells these spray heads alone as "chemical resistant". I got 3 of these bottles and sprayers from CG for $13. They are excellent.



    CG also sells a foaming spray head that works well with APCs:



    Of course you can recycle some stuff to make a very good sprayer. This is the "good" AG spray head on an old alcohol bottle:



    These are from AG as well. I has to take it apart to lube the plunger because it got sticky. The bottle is great, the sprayer is a Tolco, not chemical resistant. It's just OK.



    These are from Ace Hardware. I like them because they are 16oz minis. They are pretty good



    I'm not sure who makes this style of spray head, but they are very good. So, I always re-use them:



    So, to recap, I think the best ones are the Rubbermaid (available locally) and the CG chemical resistant.

    The sprayer in your original link may be the same on as this, just in blue
