THE RIGHT WAY! Repacking Your Airless Spraygun

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The hosts display and discuss the tools and components needed for repacking. This includes various bristle brushes (nylon, brass, steel) for cleaning, wrenches (1/4 inch, 9/32 inch, 10-inch crescent wrench, 5/8 inch wrench), a small flat-head screwdriver, a toothbrush, a hammer or mallet, a hinge pin remover, a new filter, and the repacking kit itself. They compare an authentic Graco repacking kit with a cheaper 'knockoff' from eBay, noting the significant price difference but often similar functionality.

Goal: Collect all necessary tools and the specific repacking kit components.

using today so obviously we've got our repacking kit so we've got both a great co authorized official repacking kit we've also got a knockoff here from our friends in China and what's interesting about these two packings is here's the knockoff here's the great go on right here if you go to your local paint store they think these things are made out of gold and titanium they are these don't know it they charge a whole lot of money you can jump on to ebay I didn't get these knockoffs from eBay and they work for me I've never had an issue with them before today we are repacking started me packing with this one right here and the threats were a little bit longer on this one we haven't determined whether there's the VDS with it but I've never had a problem and they're really really cheap probably three times the four times cheaper these China ones if you like buying stuff well they're probably all made in China but this one has a great go label on it so there you go you paid more money for it things to think about when your repacking the gun is you know if a repacking kid is about $75 start pricing out how much is a new gun and if you can get them on sale sometimes it's worth to be packing them but it is still good practice yeah the tools that we have we've got a series of nylon brass and steel bristle brushes because we are going to be cleaning the gun while we're going through this we've got a quarter inch 9/32 inch wrench to take the the hinge on the trigger off we've got a 10-inch crescent wrench we've got a smaller flat head screwdriver we've got a new filter for the guy that we've got a toothbrush okay again we want to get in there a bit tighter than some of those nylon brushes can go always good to have a hammer or a rubber mallet with you as well and then we have a hinge pin maneuver which we're going to use to knock the the needle out of the gun when it comes time for that and these all these tools these are typically the tools that you'll need to repair or repack any gun there might be some slight differences here and there but typically these are going to work they're just simple tools that typically everybody has in a toolbox also a 5/8 wrench 5/8 wrench so to start off we got
