    Earlex 5000 Turbine Sprayer

    Hey folks. I know there was some interest in my experience with the Earlex Spray Station 5000 and I just finished up my video. Overall, I was very happy with its performance. Hopefully you know where to go if you are interested in my thoughts on it.

    Thanks and take care.

    yes thanks for the review... looks like everyone jumped on them. Harbor Frieght is out of stock.

    Nice to know there are cheaper alternatives out there.

    marc, I must be dumb I don't know where to go to see your review. I saw them when they first came out but no body had used one to get a real review of the good or bad points of them.
    Thanks Tom K.

    I read that woodcrafts comes with two needles. Says it right on there site as well.
    Do you know if Harbor freights comes with two? One? None? ? Thats a $50 value at woodcraft.


    Also I thought the video on Marks site said it included a cleaning kit but Woodcraft sell sit seperately.

    Any help please?

    Anther excellent video Marc.
    I've watched every one since I discovered your site about 6 months ago (around the time you did Episode 5 or 6.), or maybe it was longer....

    Craig, just spent a while checking this out and near as I can tell, unless you wanna go to the UK the 5000 is only available at either HF or Woodcraft. The HF version says it includes the cleaning kit but only mentions a single needle, and woodcraft's site hasn't worked right for me in about 6 months for some reason.

    Comparing prices, it looks like you'd pay about $5 more at Woodcraft for the setup with 2 needles and the cleaning kit, which HF includes. Dunno about you, but for $5 I think I'd prefer to buy from someone who might actually know what they sold ya... Steve
