Please for the love of all that is rolly, can someone please recommend a good working spray bottle? Tried all the cheap-o’s and even the Zap from Lowes. I literally spritzed one rock and never sprayed right again. That one spray tho, it was good. So good.  |

I reuse Windex etc spray bottles. Don’t leave them out in the sun. Good luck!

It says ( Amazon that is) that I got them June 2022, and they are still working for solvent (WD-40).
They were cheap & you get 2.

I don't buy things in spray bottles all that often, but I save every one I do buy ... currently using the one originally holding Dollar Tree shower cleaner and it's been holding up quite well and gives an enthusiastic spray.

I use those pump up plant sprayers. I don't use them often in the field cause I don't have anything worth spraying. In the shop I have every conceivable assortment of bottles. Have not found one that lasts more than a year or so.

I really should get one. Been spitting on and licking rocks for far too long.

Good idea, but "milking" your salivary glands and saving it in a spray bottle would take a lot of time.

I just ordered 3 of these. At $3.58 with free shipping (for Prime members) they are an amazing bargain. If you buy a 2 pack it's $13.25! I've used them before and they work good. They are quite a bit bigger with the 32oz capacity and the larger spray heads. I'll have to see how it works out in the backpack. They are available at Home Depot for about the same price. If you buy from Amazon don't forget to go through the RTH associate link. I'm going to edit my post as I just took a look at the reviews on Home Depot for these bottles. The recent reviews say that something has changed with these and they are now garbage. I'm going to change my order, get one, and check it out. I've used them and the past and liked them. |

Best I’ve found. Good pressure for blasting out pits.  |

👆That’s the high dollar Zep (“Zap” from OP) I got from Lowe’s! Worked really great, one time. Returned it last week. So disappointed |

I haven’t tried “bleach resistant”. It doesn’t seem like it would be different. I use the “professional sprayer”. My first one lasted over a year. I’m on my second one now. I like them because they seem to have more pressure than most.
