Wagner Piston Paint Sprayer,
October 19, 2009
By RDex
from Coventry, CT
"- Worked great- As a 60+ retiree with bad shoulders I needed a replacement paint sprayer when my 3/4 hp. commercial sprayer stopped pumping CWF (Clear Wood Finish) stain halfway through staining my house. The hardest part of painting for me is the constant dipping of the brush into the stain to get it on to the siding- spraying it on and then back brushing it into the grain makes the job much easier especially when your house is over 3300 sq. feet. The Wagner spayer did the job perfectly-I don't know if I could have finished the job without it. For the price paid it was as good as any commercial sprayer that I ever used. I would definitely recommend it to any homeowner or anyone else for that matter that is looking for a very reasonably priced tool capable of providing professional results."

House painting,
October 19, 2009
By heindrich
from Granger, Wa.
"I purchesed the Wagner Reconditioned paint sprayer because I was looking for something to help me with some house painting. I was happy with the price, and the unit worked just fine. Cut my time from having to swing a brush. I have told several friends where I purchesed this at and I know that they have looked in to the painter."

Super little sprayer,
October 19, 2009
By kev0101
from Ohio
"I wish I had bought one of these years ago. Just a super little sprayer. Runs great, doesn't clog and fills easy. I had to thin an expensive paint because it was too thick. Once I thinned it with a little water it worked great. Super easy to clean. Lets you pump out left over paint right back into the pail. Can't say enough about it. I very pleased with it."

great sprayer,
July 20, 2009
By handykg
from Marietta, Georgia
"This reconditioned paint sprayer works great right out of the box. Looks and sprays just like a new unit. The 2 gallon capacity is a good size for the weekend warrior.
Long term clean up takes time, but that is the same with all paint sprayer. All in all, this was a great purchase."

Easy to use, cleaning takes awhile,
July 20, 2009
By HandymanJeff
from Denver, CO
"Product is easy to use once you get used to a couple quirks. Liquid/paint level must remain above a certain level, which got annoying after awhile when we were just spraying some cabinet doors and didn't want to waste paint. Product sprays evenly, and easily, once you get the paint levels right.
Cleaning the machine took as long as it did to do the entire project. I know this is pretty usual for any paint sprayer, so I'm not saying don't get this product for that reason, just be aware- this one isn't any better.
Bought this because the price was right, and I wasn't disappointed for what I got for the price. Good value for what you pay."

Wagner 3/8 HP Piston Paint Sprayer,
July 20, 2009
By Brunswickjim
from Cleveland, Ohio
"This is a great unit for large jobs. I used it to seal my driveway and it worked great. Clean-up is not very convenient though, It would be much easier if the hopper would come off."

Wagner Painter,

By Remodeler21
from Hubbard, OH
"This is a good unit and best priced through Northern Tool. Very good use in the outside and large paint area. Not suggested inside because of the over spray and can't control and/or adjust the air pressure. Over-all I'm very pleased with this purchase."

Only for big jobs - a pain to clean,
June 29, 2009
By JHMpls
from Minneapolis MN
"I purchased the reconditioned unit and had no mechanical issues - works like new. It does cover very well and makes fast work out of large areas. But...
Cleanup is a real chore and consumes lots of solvent/cleaner. I used it first on a small job - a sunroom - and it took five times longer to clean the Paint Crew after use than it did to paint the room. If you're going to bother using this, it had better be for a big project like the exterior of a house to make all the ancillary work worthwhile.
Pros:
- Small handle works well in corners, can be sprayed at ceiling and upside down (when working close to the ground/floor)
- Even spray, easy to control, quick trigger mechanism
- Hopper holds > 1 gallon of paint
- Covers large areas FAST
- Long hose for working on a ladder
- Small handle works well in corners, can be sprayed at ceiling and upside down (when working close to the ground/floor)
- Even spray, easy to control, quick trigger mechanism
- Hopper holds > 1 gallon of paint
- Covers large areas FAST
- Long hose for working on a ladder
Cons:
- Slow, tedious, messy, and wasteful cleanup process
- Hopper does not remove from unit for cleaning - would help significantly in cleanup
- Not suitable for use in areas without VERY GOOD ventilation - the paint is so finely atomized that much of it stays airborne.
- Lots of secondary overspray - you must have EVERYTHING masked within at least 2 feet of your work area
- Consumes a lot of paint - too much wasted in overspray
- Stiff hose becomes very rigid under pressure, subsequently cumbersome to maneuver
- Electrical pigtail is only inches long
- Slow, tedious, messy, and wasteful cleanup process
- Hopper does not remove from unit for cleaning - would help significantly in cleanup
- Not suitable for use in areas without VERY GOOD ventilation - the paint is so finely atomized that much of it stays airborne.
- Lots of secondary overspray - you must have EVERYTHING masked within at least 2 feet of your work area
- Consumes a lot of paint - too much wasted in overspray
- Stiff hose becomes very rigid under pressure, subsequently cumbersome to maneuver
- Electrical pigtail is only inches long
Overall I would not recommend this unless you routinely do large jobs of one color (not switching between colors or primers) where you only have to clean it once. For any smaller jobs, if the handheld units can spray 75% as well (with less overspray), that would be the way to go."

Paint gun,
June 4, 2009
By Mugzy
from Poconos
"I used the 770 Paint Crew to paint the bottom of my boat. It was working pretty good for the first 3/4 of the job wich only took about 10 minute instead of the ussual 1 hour, but then it quit on me. I think it was the copper in the paint. It should not be used with marine antifouling paint. The other problem I had was the cleaning. If it was just a latex water base paint it would have been easy to clean since all you really need is water and sometimes some soap. An oil based paint needs a thinner, not just to clean the spray mechanisum but the tank too, which take up a lot of paint thinner. The spray systems that stand on top of the paint can/bucket are easier to clean being that all you have clean is the pickup hose and the spray mechanisum. Again It's a great machine for water based paints at an excellent price."

Wagner Paint Crew 770,
November 17, 2008
By ehw44
from Mesquite, Texas
"I was very impressed with the product.I painted inside popcorn covered sealing in two rooms in about 1 hour. If I had used a roller it would have taken about 3 hours.This paint sprayer is fairly easy to clean. The only suggestion I have is to have a swivel joint at spray gun. I was very pleased with how the product performed."

One the Best Paint Sprayer for the price!,
November 17, 2008
By STWalt
from Central PA
"The reconditioned Wagner model# 770 Piant Crew is the best buy I've seen after an extensive search for a medium duty paint sprayer. It sprays paint as well as the larger models for my needs and is versitile enough to spray some deck stains(with the right tips). I would get a heavy duty sprayers from the rentals and the mod. 770 compares to them for my usages. The price of this machine is less than couple of the rental fees. I would definately recommend it to anyone that wants to get a professional looking job without paying the price."

Great Value for the Dollar,
November 17, 2008
By LoneStarJim
from Wells Point, TX
"I have pushed over 25 gallons of Latex through this machine with
no problems, clean up isn't a big issue if you don't mind getting wet.
It has painted the ceiling of my lake cabin and 150' pier....the lake is down
so I could stand in the low water to reach the underside.
I plan to use it this Spring for painting the metal roof and sides of my cabin,
I don't see any issues with it being able to accomplish the job."

Paint crew in a sprayer,
August 18, 2008
By gapappy
from Hereford, AZ
"I used this reconditioned sprayer to paint my one-story house, wood siding, in one and one half hours. Yup, 1 1/2 hours total time for painting the entire outside siding on my house. I had my wife keep up with supplying paint to the reservoir as I painted and I didn't even need to stop for a break. Being 61 years old, I had dreaded painting the outside of my house, but that dissolved as I quickly discovered the ease of using this product. I have recommended it to all of my friends, without reservation. THANKS !!!"

Saves LOTS of time,
August 12, 2008
By BBYEV8
from StL
"I've had good experiences with the smaller Wagner sprayers, but wasn't sure
what to expect from this larger unit. It delivered exactly as promised.
It put out a very nice even spray that was easy to control. On occasion
the tip did clog, but a quick twist of the tip and pull of the trigger
and the clog was cleared in a second. For the price, you would be crazy
to paint a house without one. I gave my entire house 2 coats (11
gallons) in just two days with time to spare. The only problem I had
was the paint in the hopper was not always flowing into the pickup
point, so it would suck in air even though I had 1/4 gallon of paint left. I was
spraying a very thick paint, thick like pudding. A little water mixed
in and all was good."
