Does anyone have any recommendations?   It seems like I buy a new one of these every year when it sticks, or will not open, or just plain stops working.  Grrr.

Compost tea, seaweed foliar spray, occasionally a soap/water/hot pepper mix for bugs...

My 92 year old neighbor uses a vintage brass forest fire fighter sprayer similar to one of these. I see them now and then at yard sales in my neck of the woods, it has to be fifty years old at least. I replaced an o-ring and a ball bearing in it several years ago for him.

Check out the Solo Backpack sprayer. As I understand it just about everything on the sprayer can be fixed or replaced.

Thanks all!  I will have a look at both of those options.  That metal sprayer is awesome, so steampunk, not sure if I can find one tho :)
