What were some of the "board de jour" favorites that are just distant meomories now?

Battery operated sprayers. Have 2 for sale cheap. Went back to Pepsi sprayers. Paint them black and apply a label. Looks acceptable.

I don't know guys....I don't view the OP as a board fad.... I had a really nice run so far with the Orbot. I got one in 2008 and it wasn't brand new so I only paid $2600 for it.

I don't have the exact figures but I would be comfortable saying that on the jobs where the Orbot was used we have billed at least 140-150grand. For a 2600 dollar machine that is a great return!

Not the weirdos in certain parts of the country that have physiological reactions to scents in bath soaps, laundry detergents and Fabreeze :oldrolleyes: .L.T.A.
The mention of that name alone (let alone the stink) is already giving me a headache :oldrolleyes: :winky:
And I am not even from Berkley

Sound like a few of you like the Pepsi type sprayers I didn't think they were very popular, I have been working on a air pressure sprayer but it has been on the back burner. I have one in my van in fact just used it the other day.

I still 4 2 door and 2.5 is popular but just not as talked about anymore, when I started 6-7 years ago, I think it was a really hot topic, seemed like there were debates on it every other night
I also think 2.5 took over even though it takes up more room on the reels it is much faster set up with just the one hose vs two, and the two really don't make that drastic of a difference over 2.5.

Those POS Dewalt 3 gallon sprayers...... :stir: @Ruff Hewn
How many times I gotta tell you guys? It holds 4 gallons and it's the most convenient sprayer ever made. Helper sprays and moves furniture 1-2 rooms ahead of cleaner and the wand never stops and you know you're putting down chemical every time. I still say I could teach Mark Saiger how to do the same jobs he does now with 1 truck and make even more money than he already does. I've been using my current 12 volt cordless for 6 years or more. It looks like shit but still works great.

I was only giving @Ruff Hewn shit, cuz I know he likes those sprayers but got bent outta shape with rotovac....... :lol: I have 2 corded models of those, but cords are for the 1990's....... I went battery sprayer and haven't looked back..... I even have those POS 1 gallon sprayers from PMF.... I got sooooo much old equipment, it's not funny....

I have a FlexiPro Sprayer by HydroForce.

For some strange reason unknown to myself, I always thought it was an OmniPro??:icon_rolleyes: :icon_redface:

First couple of months I had it, the battery died.

Had a new one put in and replaced the soldered wiring with replaceable clips.

Worked like a charm for a couple of years or more now.

My old corded one has sat in the shed foir gawd knows how long??

:yoda:

rotary DriMater ..or whatever they called that plastic shrouded thing

it had lost it's de jour status before this board started .
BTW, they don't have t be de jour items from "this" board

any tool, juice or method that became "the chit" for awhile then faded because it really wasn't "all that" qualifies

..L.T.A.
Yes that my biggest regret. Look mom I can dry your carpet in a half hour! " what do mean it's still dirty

PH 10,000 is one of the best presprays on the market and its powder based. It came in a plain box, triple wrapped in 3 garbage bags.. can't make that sh!t up.
