Review on 🎨 TCP Global Pro HVLP Spray Gun: Versatile Multi-Purpose Tool with 1.5 Nozzle/Tip/Regulator by Andy Thorson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Harbor Freight quality at a higher price

While this gun looks better than Harbor Freight's super cheap guns, it's essentially the same gun. The biggest difference (price aside) between this and the cheap Harbor Freight gun is how the Harbor Freight gun works. Of course there's a nice aluminum cup, not plastic, and the regulator is included. All that flash is useless if the gun doesn't spray properly. The one I got has an air leak which causes air to get into the paint cup and stop spraying so you end up with a mix of paint and air gaps while you pull the trigger. The needle packing nut must have been tightened because at first it would not turn. But once I get it moving, it might drag on longer. But the leak was still there. Maybe the air came from somewhere else, but I wouldn't mess with that weapon again. A decent gun for about twice the price is the Sharpe Finex. This is still an inexpensive spray gun but of much better quality. I've been using it for twelve years and have worked with it a lot. I actually had to use it in a job I was doing because that one wasn't working. If I drew as much as before, I'd use a different Sharpe instead. They are available here at Revain for the same price I paid 12 years ago.
