What happens here

The presenter covers different spray gun models and their suitability for various users. He explains that 'do-it-yourself' (DIY) sprayers found in big box stores, like the Graco ProX19, are generally good for occasional use (e.g., painting a house once a year) but are not built for professional, high-volume work. He demonstrates the Titan Impact 440i as a reliable, simple professional sprayer with fewer components to break, contrasting it with a more complex DIY model that includes features he deems unnecessary. He highlights that Bedford offers quality, USA-made OEM-alternative parts for repair, making it more cost-effective than OEM parts.

Goal: Provide insights into different sprayer models, their intended use, and repair options.

is extremely flexible extremely soft this um is the inside of the hose this is a cloth hose so this one has metal inside of it so it's a braided hose and this is a cloth hose inside and so this one on the same length would be slightly heavier but this one will run thicker coatings they're both still extremely soft but you can see versus a standard quarter inch hose the whip is a little bit smaller but now when you compare all three of them a pencil whip is significantly smaller diameter but i've run through a pencil lip all the years that i've sprayed i've run elastomeric coatings through the same size of 3.2 millimeter had no issues with at all i never had any issues you know using a pencil whip but i've never sprayed block filler you know so maybe block filler or maybe peel bond wouldn't go through something like this but you just got to know what you're spraying so we still have these in stock and the 25 foot ones in stock the threes and fives of these are being made again we were selling them like crazy and hard to keep them in stock long answer so are there any sprayers that they can't go with um so the whips themselves will go on any standard hose and um and so i use always tell people no it will go on any hose any sprayer or graco sprayers titan sprayer spray deck um tri-tech you know but what i ended up finding out is titan actually makes a sprayer a do-it-yourself sprayer sold in a lot of home improvement stores and it's the control max line so the control max line and wagner owns titan so wagner has the same model it's but it's called something else the control max actually has proprietary fittings on the hose and the ends which isn't a standard airless hose why they do that i have no idea i contacted titan i've asked them and they they are not really sure why but you can't buy any hoses and add it to a control max and maybe they're trying to control um people what they're adding to this little tiny do-it-yourself sprayer so you don't add more hose and blow up the pump or try to add things that you shouldn't be adding to it but it does not work on the control max ata pumps do you think graco has a diy pump that it probably doesn't actually found so i've got a multiple i got at home i have multiple granco do-it-yourself pumps that are sold in the big box stores and i have a whip on every one of them so it works they use standard hoses the only sphere that i found well there is another one it's a really it's an off-brand chinese model that was sent…
