Good quality paint gun. Prefer this design to any competitor. Seems more durable and less prone to needing a complete o-ring rebuild.

Not a bad paint gun, it's my go-to after trying a few. I rarely have to waste time fixing it, and the paint clogs it less often than the guns that have a filter screen on the bottom, since that screen gets gummed up with paint so quickly. My old one worked better than the newer ones, but still decent. Fits in my hand nicely, which is my main reason for using this type of gun. My only complaint is that the newer ones are coming with handles made of really soft plastic. I have guns that are going on 10 years old and still going strong, but the one I bought two years ago, the trigger mechanism in the handle wore through and just snapped off. Threw another handle on it and it's been great since. They just need to toss the factory handle and put the replacement handle on it to begin with. They have a metal piece that protects the trigger mechanism. I don't know what paint other people use, but I've never had a can fall off any gun I've used, and I've thrown my gun taking bad falls.

Third gun in 10 months. Third time is a charm but I still had to replace the plastic piece on the bottom. For the money I wish they were made with more metal pieces.

Just bought a new one not long ago, and neglected to inspect it closely. Picked it up this evening and felt the trigger pull. The amount of pressure it requires to get the trigger moving is unbelievable. The reason I began looking more closely started after I checked the cost of replacement for the plastic trigger !!!! This stuff is low quality, and the part(s) fitting is abysmal. The trigger is already on the way to self destructing, and I haven't used it for marking. Poor, unacceptable

The gun simply is poorly designed. The trigger pull effort, and angle, adds up to weary joints. It is hard to believe no effort was made to install some type \'screen / filter \' before the intake to cut down on clogging. Unless my paint is brand new it is likely there is much lost time clearing the gun. After a few months the trigger begins to hang when pulled inwards. fully. I\'ve tried changing many of the parts but haven\'t discovered exactly what causes the hang. Yes, a bump will often dislodge the threads. If I have a fall, I know I will have a huge mess to clean. The metal gun did seem to have a better trigger pull but, in all, the other problems were also happening with that model. This could be a good, long lasting and useful gun with just a few tweaks by the manufacturer.

I agree with the Industrial Forester from PA. I too have lost lots of paint from bumping the gun or can on random things in the woods. The threads just don't hold. I never lost one in 41 years of using the old metal guns. My plastic gun was losing quart cans when it was new without paint buildup anywhere. Reading his review released me from the idea of complaining to the company that my gun was defective. Apparently they are all defective.

I have had no problem with Dura-built gun which has lasted more than 7 years so far of heavy use. A little maintenance goes a long way. Another commenter had issues with the threads. I have found this to be more a problem with the paint can itself, rather than the gun. Make sure there is no build-up of paint around the base of the threads of the can. This can be removed easily with a pocket knife. I also like the Dura-built gun in the winter because it does not get as cold as the old metal guns.

The Nelson Nel-Spot tree marking gun has gone from the best gun on the market to the biggest disappointment on the market. I have used Nelson's metal paint guns (model D-103) for the last 19 yrs. Suddenly Nelson decided to discontinue this model and offer the new light weight (LT-104) The LT-104 is the light weight, all plastic version of their original paint gun. The plastic threads will not stay on the quart paint cans. The gun head separates from the can at the slightest bump. I have wasted 5 quarts of paint in the last week as they fell to the ground while marking timber. Bottom line , do not buy the new Nelson gun, have your old metal gun repaired.

I am not getting the amount of spray per pull that i would like and the prime is not sticking. In the LT-104 which internal parts should i replace the gun is at least 5 years old. And is there any way i can get another manual for the gun? I am not getting the amount of spray per pull that i would like and the prime is not sticking.
