Yep. I'm on my second one now. The first one lasted 10 years.
Until I got sloppy spraying varnish and didn't clean it out properly.

It's a very good buy.

That unit looks exactly like the $99 HF unit.
Use a 20% off coupon and save $40 over the Rockler price.

The HF unit has received a lot of good references here.

"Looks" and "is" are two different stories.
I suppose it's worth a shot to try the HF version, since they have a
very liberal return policy.
Thanks for the info.

BTW, every one of those 20% off coupons says that they can't be used
with any other discount. $99 is the discounted sale price of the HF
model, so it probably wouldn't take. Still cheaper, however... and local.

Really? So you think it's a manager's discretion thing? Worth a try,
I guess.

There are certain sale items that they won't take a coupon on, and
others that they do. What's the rhyme or reason??? It's worth a try.

Rockler? Harbor Fright?

How about Chicago Electric.
And it IS the same model.

I have a "similar" gun from Lowes:

http://www.lowes.com/pd_326055-89183...vlp&facetInfo=

They "say" it will spray latex...sort of very thinned.

It will spray lacquer and shellac like a champ.

Easy to clean and not bad learning curve but does require
some practice.

The one in that link was the Chicago Electric gun.

But I got the Rockler Thanksgiving sale flier today and it
lists a Wagner combo unit for $80.

That one I don't know.
Never used it.

I picked this up, today on sale for $99, minus the 20% coupon which they
accepted, for a total of 80 bucks plus tax. I look forward to trying it
out and seeing if it's as great as everybody says.

No kidding?
And I know Hoover... I used to be called Hoover when I played infield
because I sucked up every ball on the field. :-)
Of course, we also used that to describe guys who just plain sucked.
