PetraTools HD4000 Battery Powered Backpack Sprayer, 6 Hr Runtime, 6 Nozzles

this is a quality sprayer. I tried hard to find a small sprayer with wheels, but they were all overpriced junk. Finally I decided to get a quality backpack sprayer and atach it to our little hand dolly. It works great. I just took off all the shoulder harness and tossed it. This is a powerful sprayer and they have thought of everything.......good battery, shut off controls with pressure variation, extra tips for every type of spraying, easy clean filter, even a battery monitor light. get this one!

My Petra HD4000 sprayer was very simple to set up by twisting a few pieces together. The spray time provided by the battery far exceeds my needs for around my property. It is comfortable for me to wear using the backpack straps. I like the very wide opening, which makes it easy to pour in solutions. The unit itself is not heavy. I don't usually fill it up if I don't want to lug around the weight. I am very happy with my purchase and feel that it is the best available. When setting it up, I did need to ask a question, so I can report that it was very easy to get customer support by phone. Further, it was obvious that they know what they're talking about, and that they care about their customers. Updated March 02, 2023: I ended up leaving some kind of solution in my tank over winter. I use it mostly for weed killer, but it could have been just soap water. Or, I don't know what I may have had in there. When I went to use it today, it would spray out for only like three seconds and then slowed to a very lite weak dripping stream and then would stop altogether. The motor seemed strong. The battery was good, as it had been on the charger for a couple of days. I wondered if something may be clogging it up, like debris or maybe some sort of mineral crystallization which may have formed over the winter. I know you're supposed to clean it out after each use and clean it up before storing it, but it got pushed to the side and forgotten while tending to other matters I suppose. I'm not a perfect human. Anyway, it was very simple and amazingly quick to reach a rep at the company. I used their website chat feature, which is my favorite form of customer support. They do it really well. The rep suggested doing a priming with some warm soapy water, so I emptied the winter contents out of the tank and was surprised to see something covering the hole at the bottom of the tank (see picture). There was some kind of whiteish, fleshy, fimly goop congregated around the hole at the center, bottom of the tank which runs out to the sprayer head. I put on a glove and reached in to clear it. I pulled out a snotty bunch of goo. It had filled in the small round perforated cover/filter over the hole, which just snaps off like a plastic lid. There was additional goop beyond the filter pooled up inside that hole. I used a screwdriver and cleared it all out that I could tell. I then rinsed the filter/cap and ran a batch of warm soapy water through the unit. It immediately started running properly again, as if nothing had ever happened. So, luckily that was simple and a testament to a good product. I'm really happy with the sprayer and think with proper and regular cleaning this time, it will last a good long time.

Hand cranking 9 gallons of spray was killing my shoulder. Enter the HD4000. I'll get into details below but i am very happy with this purchase. Quick likes: very comfortable wand that does not drip, good selection of nozzles, easy to fill, adjustable pressure that is easy to reach while on your back, comes with extra seals. Some dislikes: plastic fittings with fine threads (especially for the nozzles) could be susceptible to damage. The pump to hose connection works loose - then you get wet and cold. The harness is ok but if I was doing 24 gallons in a day, is want a better harness. Some details.... The trigger - no drips. You let go, it stops. If I'm walking around with roundup i can't have drips. Extremely comfortable. Small complaint - I locked by mistake and had a hard time unlocking quickly because i wasn't used to it yet. The harness - it gets the job done. To keep pricing competitive I'd be ok with a pro harness upgrade for those that want it. 4 gallons of sloshing water is heavy - having a harness with some shock absorption and wider straps with much better padding would be something i would pay extra for as an option. If you only use it a couple times a month for one or two tanks, the price is right. Pressure adjustment - very useful and easy to reach while wearing the pack. It will shoot very far using the brass nozzle at the highest pressure. A far exceeds expectations on convenience and function. I feel like I'm going to lose the charger - I'd like a durable pouch the can get attached to the sprayer when you are not using it. One open air side for anything wet and a sealed section for the charger. I can put it in a ziploc bag and leave inside sprayer when not in use but don't like putting stuff inside the tank. Not a deal breaker though. The battery - i wanted a lithium ion but form factors are all unique to vendor. I use Dewalt and got to thinking that a charger/battery system is to expensive and the industry standard sealed lead acid battery can be purchased anywhere for cheap. The heaviest portion of the sprayer is the product and the slight extra weight of the battery is insignificant compared to the product. Long term cost wins and these batteries are proven performers. Cleaning - i try to not make to much of what i am using so that i run out. Very easy to dump out excess from either side and rinse, add a little water and run through to clean the wand. I leave both caps off to dry it out. Easy. Durability - don't know yet and i am not a daily user. I expect to have to replace the battery about every 3 years - same battery my alarm system uses - cheap, standard, no big deal and it could last longer. More likely to die from lack of regular use than from wearing out. Seals seem like good quality and you get a bag full of extras. Bottom line - i would buy again and stand by comments that I'd pay extra for a pro harness. You want to have a good price point to have a larger market, so the upgraded harness as an extra makes sense.

I have never encountered a better-run company or a more efficient product than this sprayer. Since purchasing it in 2022, I have used it extensively for various gardening and landscaping tasks. It has consistently performed beautifully, providing excellent coverage and a steady flow of liquid, which has greatly facilitated my outdoor projects during the spring and summer months. The only issue I faced was in 2026 when the battery unexpectedly stopped accepting a charge. Given the frequency of use, I had anticipated some wear and tear, but I was impressed that it lasted for several years without any significant problems. When I reached out to customer service to report the battery issue, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ruth. From the moment I started the call, she was incredibly friendly and professional. She listened attentively to my concerns and reassured me that a replacement battery would be shipped out immediately, which I greatly appreciated. Finding a company that stands behind its products for such a long time is rare, and it speaks volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall, I highly recommend this sprayer to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient tool for their gardening needs. The combination of quality performance and exceptional customer service has certainly earned my loyalty.

Heres an update on my initial review below. Im changing my review to 5 stars because you can’t put a price on customer service. I got a callback today from customer service and they help me solve my problem with the drip they have been very helpful and very approachable. I think with that said this product is worthy of five stars I have used several loads through the sprayer and it has worked great. Save yourself a few bucks and give them a chance it’s a good power sprayer! Initial review I’m giving this three stars for now until I get things figured out. When I received this item it was easy to put together it wasn’t quite as sturdy as I had hoped and I realized after putting water in it to test it but it only sprayed a very strong stream it was hard to dial the pressure back to the spot spraying around other plants without the fear of heavy mist overspray.

I contacted the company and they recommended I try buying one of the other three nozzles on their website so I did purchase them they were only a few bucks each and it ended up the flex nozzle with the breast hip you are able to adjust the spray on it someone and then also you can use the silver knob to turn the unit on to do the lowest pressure possible and that seem to do the trick I have actually sprayed about five loads of weed killer through it and it has operated really nice except I have a small leak whenever I’m running the pump it wants to drip out of the bottom and down the back of my leg I contacted the company and they recommended I try buying one of their other three nozzles on their website so I did purchase them they were only a few bucks each and it ended up the flex nozzle with the brass tip you were able to adjust the spray on it somewhere and then also you can use the silver knob to turn the unit on to do the lowest pressure possible and that seem to do the trick I have actually sprayed about five loads of weed killer through it and it has operated really nice except I have a small leak whenever I’m running the pump it wants to drip out of the bottom and down the back of my leg And I’m using ground up so I can’t have that. I called the company and reported it and I’m waiting on them to call me back for a remedy I assume they’ll either send me a replacement I believe they’ll make it right so far so good with customer service. I will try to update this review once I get my problems remedied. I’m still on the fence as to whether I would buy this again $200 was not that bad you get what you pay for I think as long as you’re careful with this unit and don’t bang it around it’ll be OK. I’m not using mine for commercial work I’m using it for residential I have to maintain about 4 acres of land and I needed to get away from the hand pump type backpack sprayer.

OK i purchased one of these in May of 2025 and it has worked perfectly other than the pump cycles intermittently even when im not pulling the spray trigger. So I ordered another this year. This new one originally worked great right out of the box on the first day. I primed it and then put it away. However, the next day when I wanted to actually spray some weeds with it, the battery was dead (after charging it for 8 hrs straight initially), and the pump was no longer working properly. When i turned the switch on it just made a weird buzzing noise instead of the "pumping" noise it should have been making. Tried repriming with all the recommended procedures. No luck. Contacted Chloe and Christina over at Petra Tools customer service via their chat. Chloe immediately got back to me, identified the problem as a bad pump and then shipped me a new Sprayer no questions asked! I even asked her about the cycling pump problem that my older sprayer was having and she without hesitation told me they'd ship me a replacement spray for that one two! So two new sprayers coming my way! Highly recommend these sprayers. They are good quality, and work great and the customer service is fantastic with Chloe and Christina! Great product and excellent customer service. Keep it up!

While this pump is not commercial grade I do use them for commercial projects knowing I will need to replace parts or the entire pump from time to time. I have purchased at least 8 of them over the course of 3-4 years. My entire company uses them daily for pest control treatments and as you know employees can be very hard on equipment that they don't have to buy. I continue to purchase these pumps because the company is FIRST RATE when it comes to customer service. They have never failed to respond to an issue quickly and offer helpful solutions. Another thing that I like is the manufacturer listens to customer feed back and is continually improving design and durability. Case in point - They added a comfortable back plate to the original design. They beefed up the hose assembly although it could still be more sturdy. They added a metal spray tip in addition to the plastic ones. They did improve the strap design, but is still needs work. The pumps themselves work really well. They are easy to use and the stream can reach 20-25' and beyond when fully charged. The battery usually lasts 4-5 hours with intermittent use of 15 minutes at at time before the pump begins to noticeably decline in pressure. They can last around 8 hours of total use on one charge and that beats the heck out of wearing out your shoulder from pumping! Things I have noticed about this pump - *the tank cannot be lifted by the tank handle without cracking the tank around it. *the straps do not hold well unless they are looped back on themselves more than once. you will want to keep an eye on the straps and tighten them as needed or the pump will fall off your back and likely crack when it hits the ground. *the supply hose has a tendency to crack near the connections after some time. This is an easy fix, though. *the connection from the hose to the tank comes loose very easily - This can be remedied by tightening the nut inside the battery housing before first use. *the door to the battery will break at the hinges, but will still snap into place and it does not prevent the pump from being used PROs ease of use price customer service CONs some durability issues when used daily for commercial projects overall for the price this is a very good product

PetraTools HD4000 Battery Powered Backpack Sprayer is an excellent backpack sprayer offering a wide variety of spray nozzles, excellent battery life and the 4 Gallon capacity give longer spray time.the easy of use and cleaning are straight forward. The unit was easy to assemble. the fit and finish make appear to be of the highest quality.I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Good size does the job

Really like this sprayer! I've used it multiple times to spray my weeds and I fill it right to the top. I'm 5'9", 180 and it's a little heavy but totally usable with that weight. Battery runs for a long time, charges quick, and I've had NO leaks. Nice large opening to fill it, wand works great and the multiple attachments for different types of spray work really well.

I have only used the sprayer a couple of times but I'm quite impressed by how solid it is, it's durable and will hopefully stand up to the rigours or regular use! It is a little uncomfortable though as it's quite square, so when you fill the tank it can dig in to your lower back, I'm not worried about this though as I have some rugged foam padding to stick along the bottom which should sort it! There's a good range of accessories and nozzles so I should have the kit for every different job I encounter. Still early days but I'm really impressed by the price and build, would highly recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing! 😁👍

You can stop viewing all the other options now and be assured this sprayer will work just fine. This sprayer was bought to replace a big-name brand unit and I couldn't be happier with it. I have only sprayed 6 tanks so far, but I can already tell this is going to last a long time. I watched several reviews on YouTube before making the purchase and they all were good reviews as well as a one-year-later review. The unit is fairly heavy when full along with the weight of a lead acid battery, but the straps are comfortable, and being a backpack unit it's not an issue for me as a 185 lb guy. Some people might find it too much though. The hose seems durable. I read reviews saying the wand seemed light and flimsy, but I have no complaints. It's every bit as good as the one I replaced. My only complaint, and it's minor is that I wish the charging cord was about a foot longer, but that's just a personal preference. Well done Petratools.

Brilliant to work and practical
