Brake cleaner pump spray bottle recommendations

[6ply]

I would like to purchase a refillable spray bottle for brake cleaner (the regular solvent based stuff). I don't want to spend a lot, nor do I want one that lasts a week then packs in. Use will be very intermittent and I don't want to drain it down between uses. Would that be ok? I've seen Wurth recommended in the past. Is that still the best bet? Any specific model? Thanks.

Does it say klaeger on top of the pump handle because my wurth one does that I got quite a while ago. I also got a klaeger one as they are a bit cheaper. Got a colad one to try for solvents but they’re pretty expensive.

Yes although it's not been used much it's always had brake fluid in it and is fine.

I'll have to check the top now

Same as @dobbslc , I bought the same off the back of that thread. One for easing oil and one for brake cleaner. Feels like I've had them 3-4 years now and all working fine.

Got two over three years ago, one for brake cleaner, one for alkaline wheel cleaner - neither have leaks or other issues despite regular use and the occasional conflict with gravity....

Is this one any different?

 

[Rannsachair]

I use my Wurth one as @dobbslc every other day, had it 2 or 3 years and still functions as new with brake cleaner.

Another eBay advert. Identical looking product but claims a different manufacturer.

Me too. Still going strong all these years later.

I have the Wurth bottle too after buying many cheaper ones, changing seals etc only for them to fail.
It’s about 4-5 years old now, always kept pressurised, dropped way too many times and it just works every time.

I have had a Wurth red top, for a while now. Always had brake cleaner in it. knocked over a couple of times, and also has been left out in the sun. No problems as yet. Cost about £28 though.

they work and keep working ,,, if you use one for brake cleaner and one for water for when your welding , make sure you paint the water one so you know exactly what yous spraying on a smouldering land rover


on second thoughts ,,,

no seriously , mark them and keep them well apart .

The Wurth bottles are available on the Wurth website at a good price but it appears it's for businesses customers only?

Pardon our interruption...

 

[qwakers]

nothing stopping you registering, i just did and the bottles are much cheaper.

bear in mind the red ones, there are 3 different ones for different solvents.

IIRC different colour tops denote different types of seals for different fluids.

I bought a NAPA one from my local motor factor a month or so ago. It keeps pressure well (Over a week), and was only about £16, but I have no idea how it will fare over years of use.
