I just ordered a bunch of brass air compressor fittings and barb fittings, the dang ag hoses need quick connect fittings. I might even add a 50ft hose reel to my hand sprayer. I'm wanting a quick change setup from boom sprayer or 50ft hose and wand.

I been happy with this handle, it has held up much better than the ones that come with the tanks. I like how the tip is adjustable with the spray pattern/flow. Adding the QA fittings will also help with the hose not getting bound up as much as well.

That looks like a good price for the wand.

A little funny story about when I first bought my sprayer. I filled my tank with weed killer (Roundup) and wanted to spot spray some areas around my yard and along my fence line. I was doing this using the wand only, or so I thought. I did not realize that the lever to my boom sprayer was turned on. I drove from spot to spot and sprayed with my wand but my tank ran out of weed killer in just about 5 minutes or so. I thought that was really weird because I didn't do that much spraying yet. I discovered that I had just boom sprayed a wide swath of grass that I did not want to kill. I can laugh about it now, but at the time it was not at all funny. It took a year for grass to grow in those areas again.

Oh well, lesson learned for sure, lol.

Yeah that newer wand has been working great. I have probably used 1000 gallons though it so far without issue. The stock wand that come with tanks would blow out and seperate, they are total crap. I use blue dye, and I have come back to the house looking like a smurf cause the stock handle broke/exploded on me. lol
