New Product

Posted by HeyBub on March 14, 2009, 12:10 pm

Went to my local Harbor Freight "parking lot sale" this morning (it was held
inside the store, partly because of the weather, but mainly because the
jerkwater town in which it is located [Sugar Land, Texas] doesn't allow
parking lot sales because they sully the ambiance and patina of the town and
people milling about buying things is vaguely unsettling).

Anyway, HF is now selling a fill-it-yourself aerosol spray can

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?function=Search

for (reg) $7.99 (sale price is less).

You put whatever you want to spray in the can (paint, mustard, deer urine,
etc.), and add air through a bicycle-type air inlet - either from a
compressor or hand pump (90psi max) and you're good to go.

I got one and may use it someday. When I do, I'll report the results. I also
bought a 1/3-sheet electric sander for $19.99, which I WILL used today. I've
got to remove about 87,000 bumps from sheetrock texture in advance of
covering the wall (13x8) with a mural.

HF also had their multifunction tool on sale for $39.99.

I bought a couple of those 25 years ago. One was from HF. I think I
used them for cleaners and lubricants. I found them a waste of money.

You need a use where it's worth the expense and trouble. It has to be a
fluid that won't corrode or gum up the spray can, and it can't have any
dirt.

A finger-powered spray bottle is more practical because it can be
cleaned and the spray adjusted. Unfortunately, the pump can wear out
quickly, and you can get blisters if you spray much. My favorite now is
the small plastic pump-up sprayer, maybe a quart.

Isn't just having a Harbor Freight going to sully the ambiance?

I recycle the hand-pump spray containers from shower spray, cleaners,
etc. No HF, no compressor, no money needed. Now tell me about a
tool NOT "Made in China."
