Wagner Power Painter

[crokett]

Not to compete with Rags' thread but I just finished painting my sheds and used my Wagner. I know most folks hate em but to date mine has stained: both sides of 240' of 6' fence, 3 decks, a kids' playset and my patio furniture. It has painted primed/painted 2 bedrooms and two sheds. The only problem Ive had is it jamming once when I forgot to oil it. Not bad for the 70ish bucksI spent on it, eh? Originally I got it to do the fence.

My only complaint is I wish it would pull paint right from the bucket but every time I've tried it didn't work so I keep having to fill the little cup.

David, I have one of the Wagner units also that has been used to do many of the same things you've done. I've never used it inside due to so much overspray, but for fences and decks, it does a great job using either stains or latex (thin the latex). I have a couple of the inexpensive HVLP units that I've used inside and they seem to do a pretty good job also.
Sure beats doing it by hand!!!
