Harbor Freight Score!

So as I was doing my usual rainy saturday Harbor Freight run and I unexpectedly came across this gem- I wasn’t aware they even carried such things!



Anyways, after careful examination(it looks identicle to my Hudson backpack) I decided to try it out. It was on end of season clearance for $36.73- marked down from $119.99:cool: so I thought why not. Just looked online and they no longer carry it online so it might be a regional store thing?

I had 3 of them and took them back … They had many problems and that is why they are liquidating them at a low price.
They are more hassle than they are worth. It is a great idea but how many windows can you clean before you have to fill back up ?
If you are spraying for bugs they might work great.

UII’ve got the same one and really like it. It has it’s place in my arsinal.

I have the exact same one and also like it. It’s heavy, like any other 5 gallon backpack when full of water (50 lbs.), and it only lasts for a few windows unless you use an aquadapter or other means to shut off water flow in between rinsing needs, but it’s still useful for us. I paid $89.99 for mine, Nice find! At that price I’d buy a couple in case you do have one stop working in the future.

They are nice just be careful when using one on a roof. The offset of balance could easily cause an unexpected fall.

That’s what extra hose is for – leave the heavy backpack on the ground.

I do, however, use a Stihl gas-powered backpack lower to clear debris from roofs and gutters.

Great deal! I got the same one and use it often with the aqua-dapter. Skylights, monthly residentials and it saves time and money. Well worth the $100 bucks I spent this last spring!
:smiley:

I tried two stores but they were both sold out. I just wasnt fast enough for this deal.

Nice find Paul!

I’ve been using that backback since the spring and it has worked great. No leaks…Very heavy to use as a backpack though…i use a small roll cart most times.
