thank you for talking about products you actually have/gained experience with, too many other channels make too many videos about stuff they don't know.
I have a 2 gallon ryobi that I've been using for 5 years to spray werd killers, glyphosate, and pesticides. It doesn’t spray as hard as it use to but it's still great for what i need it for. Also have rhe backpack for it and that helps.
I built my own with a $25 12v pump off Amazon. 3d printed my Ridgid battery adaptor and printed mounting plates to hose clamp onto the hand pump tank. Yes it's not as neatly made as a purchased unit. But I can easily replace any component if I would need to. Perhaps someday I'll build a backpack sprayer this way but my 2 gallon unit works good for me right now.
That is cool that it pumps the unit up to pressure then turns off till it's needed again sounds like it saves a ton on batteries for the sprayer @4:25 @WorkshopAddict
Great video.sometimes i feel like the big companys just put something out with not that much engeneering into it, thinking people are on the platform they will buy it.you are one of my favorite tool tubers because you keep it 100% all the time.no shill just thrill haha
Man, I really wanted to get the Milwaukee, since I've already bought a lot of their tools. But I just can't take a chance on the leakage issues that seem to be common. I'll probably go with the Sprayers Plus model. Thanks for the detailed rundown on both of these models. Good info that saved me $100, and probably headaches later on.
Another great video! Like another commenter mentioned, I was leaning towards the Switch Tank, as I have several M18 batteries. However, your review and statement how the only real negative about the Sprayer Plus 105Ex is that it’s not on the same platform as other tools you have really resonated with me. While it would be convenient, it doesn’t appear to be a smart decision to purchase the Switch Tank when the Sprayer Plus 105ex seems to more robust. I ordered a Sprayer Plus 105Ex today as I get ready for spring weed killing:) Thanks again for following up your original video, and showing a prospective that most TH-camrs don’t (most do a review, say how amazing a product is, than review something else entirely different).
The Milwaukee switch tank definitely needs some improvements. 1. relocating the pump inlet to the lowest spot of the tank. 2. Strainer on the pump intake for i get clogs all the time and have to empty the container to get it working again. 3. A check valve on the wand tip or in the handle, I have had countless issues with the wand leaking everywhere after use
I was told to buy the ryobi backpack sprayer and I already had the Milwaukee ordered hopefully it will be fine for me and my wife I'm only using one for weeds and the other one is for my wifes garden and her Fertalizers
Wow that 105E will suck water all the way to the bottom that is very nice I didn't know the Switch tanks from Milwaukee had problems like air getting in or even spillage problems wish I would of known that before I bought 2 of them in February they were in stock when I ordered then some how got back ordered should be getting them Monday very long wait @WorkshopAddict
Keep up the good work. You need to post about you weight loss. What is your nutrition plan...? Its time for me to get serious about my health! Thank you for your help!
I thought about telling my story as it has a lot of stupid and interesting twists. If you want a spoiler, my diet is based on a doctor from TH-cam that turned out to be a chiropractor. Lol. Look up Dr Berg on TH-cam and then watch a lot of David Goggins while you work out.
M 18 Milwaukee works great for first gallon , drops pressure each time after gallon one ,has never worked past this each time . Contacted Milwaukee, still waiting to hear back
Ive been through about 9 of those ryobi myself. I just buy a new from HD and swap out for the busted one. They send to Ryobi so it becomes their problem which it should be.

I been waiting since February for my 2 Milwaukee switch tanks finally shipped was suppose to be here yesterday but moved to Monday thanks for the video brian @WorkshopAddict
With the high number of uses, I don't see the need that tool being in a similar battery ECO system. I prefer Field King's sprayers personally. However if truly need swap batteries one could consider using a 18v to 20v adapter and using dewalt batteries.
I bought the Hart 2 gallon sprayer and like it. It is the same as the Ryobi without the stem battery. The wand is plastic and didn’t last, so I went to a Solo product with a stainless wand and it is much better.
These tanks all pump the product which means product is in pump so any corrosive product will attack pump. I like pumps that pressurize the tank so only thing in pump is air. Pump Zero Power sprayer uses an air pump to keep spray container at right pressure much better and only clean out is tank, the pump itself is never wet.
I had went with the sprayers plus backpack model because my milwaukee switchtank sucks! no one wants leaking chemicals going down their back. milwaukee had a good idea, but terrible implementation and quality. Don't forget the price. Typical milwaukee gen 1 curse.
$220 isn't bad for that. I have the Ryobi unit which was $150 with a battery and charger. It was the first Ryobi tool that I have purchased. It's ok at best, nothing great but the price was right.

Damn it. I just bought a royobi 4 gallon a month ago. Felt great about my purchase until now. Hope it does not take a dump too soon
Make sure that no chemicals are left in the pump when stored and cross your fingers. Or take it back while you still can.

I have the kobalt one and it has worked well so far
I wonder if that Kobalt tool is made by EGO... Chervon
40v or 24 v ?
@@palehorse4447 24v

I purchased three Milwaukee tanks and two leak. Apparently a very common problem with the Milwaukee backpack sprayer.
I been waiting since February for my 2 Milwaukee switch tanks finally shipped was suppose to be here yesterday but moved to Monday thanks for the video brian @WorkshopAddict
Check to see if they leak right off the bat.
@@WorkshopAddict I will defenitly do that appreciate the information

I'll bet that battery keeps your back nice and warm during those cold summer months while you're out there not sweating yourself to death!🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Has Milwaukee fixed these issues yet?
How much money does that unit cost? And where can you buy it? Thanks
225 ish and on sprayers plus website. Link is in the description

My Ryobi died. Barely used. Never again.
The best one is MY4SONS sprayer. You can upgrade using batteries that you already own- Milwaukee M18, dewalt, etc.
$220 isn't bad for that. I have the Ryobi unit which was $150 with a battery and charger. It was the first Ryobi tool that I have purchased. It's ok at best, nothing great but the price was right.
Ryobi goes for value and they get a lot of purchases from that. I just with Ryobi put a bit more quality into some things.
