What's up everyone? Welcome back to The Durbin Compound! If you haven't met me already,
my name is Devin Durbin. So today on the channel, we're doing another Awesome Tools under $30.
So in comes the handheld sprayer from Stihl, the SG 11. This thing is awesome! A great tool under $30.
If you're interested in what I have to say about it--stay tuned!
All right guys, before we get started with the review, first things first, I want to say that
I have used and abused this bad boy. So, if it can be sprayed, it has been sprayed through this.
I've done everything from stain, to spar varnish, to wax on the basement floor, water, insecticides, pesticides.
I've literally put everything through this bad boy. Of course, you have to worry about
it being water-based. I've even done some oil-based stuff. And, you know, like spar varnish, I just rinsed it out
with mineral spirits. So, this thing has been through a true test on just everything that it can spray.
So, I'm very impressed with this. These come in at like $22 from your Stihl dealership.
You're probably not going to be able to find them online. It's not like an Amazon item.
You need to go to your local Stihl dealer to get one of these, but I wholeheartedly believe
in this bad boy. Most of the time you'll find me carrying it around by the the plunger,
which is totally, you know, not something that they're going to recommend. I mean this thing, it's pretty stout.
So, it has held up to misuse and abuse, for the most part, it hasn't skipped a beat. So, some things
and some features about this...I wish that it came with multiple spray tips. So the green spray tip
that's in it, is just a simple mister. It makes kind of like an egg-shaped mist
right up by the tip. And then it kind of fans out. So, I wish it had come with multiple tips,
or a tip that was adjustable, where you could crank it down, and make it more of a stream. But this is
really done just about anything that I need. It's been really good. Now, as you lose pressure in this
it will get really, really choppy. So, as you can tell, I mean, it's just spitting. Once you pump it up,
it'll give you a nice fine spray. I probably way over pressurized this thing many, many times.
It definitely gives you a nice fine spray, a big broadcast. I'd say, you know, you have every bit of
a two foot broadcast, depending on how close you get to the sprayer. You know, it will be a
more focused spray on there. This thing is one and a half liters. And I'm just overall impressed with this thing.
This has sprayed just about anything you want. Nice O-ring construction.
If you know anything about me, I'm definitely a fan of O-ring construction. And having the O-rings is
nice for longevity. So no matter how many times you take it apart and clean it, those O-rings
stay pretty darn good. So, another thing that I do like is the pressure release. So, there's not
many sprayers, or garden sprayers, that I've ever seen with the pressure release. So, usually you crank
off the lid and it sprays in your face. And then you have insecticide or whatever on your goggles.
Or maybe you're not wearing any PP at all. But this decompression little wheel is very, very convenient.
So if you need to, you know, for whatever reason, you figure out that you haven't mixed enough or
you want it mixed heavier, you can simply roll your finger on this dial and it will decompress.
That's really, really nice. And I really like that. So it's not like you're spinning this thing off,
and then it's just, you know, blowing everywhere. So, I really, really like this thing. And for under $30,
I want to own a couple of them. So, the only qualm I have is, I wish it came with a bunch
of different tips, so you could do different applications. But this is technically just a
handheld sprayer. And, you know, I use it as such. But something like a pencil trajectory or whatever
you want to call it--tip, would be really cool for like spot, you know, when it comes to pesticide or,
you know, your herbicides and stuff like that. Spraying directly on weeds would be convenient.
But, you know, it's not a deal breaker. For $22, this thing is absolutely a must-buy. If you're looking into it,
I hope this review finds you and it helps you out in the future. This has been
out for a very long time. It's just something that I believe in. I've had this
for probably going on three years now. So they've been out for a while, maybe, maybe not. Hey,
I'm losing track of time. Who knows? So, fully recommend it! I give it a thumbs up! You remember to
give me a thumbs up. Or thumbs down. Whatever you're into! And we'll see you guys in the next video!
