[QUOTE="Tony, post: 166974, member: 1"] Imma tell you, I flat can't catch a break. I went outside at first light to spray some chemicals on the garden since the bugs are taking over. I pull out the 3 point sprayer that I made, connect it all up, fill it up with some seven and plug it in. The pump primes for a bit and then chemical just starts spraying all over the place. Last winter it seems that I emptied everything out except the handle. Apparently it still had some water in the grip on the handle and in the freezing temps, it froze and cracked. Great... So I come inside to my 4 gallon backpack sprayer and naturally, that one will not fit the 15 gallon. So what do I do? I cut the hose off of the handle on the 15 gallon, took the handle off of the metal extension rod on the sprayer and put the hose onto the extension directly. I don't have on/off functions, but I can plug it in and unplug it. But I got the garden sprayed. And naturally, it looks like it is going to rain, so that is going to be a waste of chemicals.
