Our Take on This Handheld Paint Sprayer Review

In-depth Features:
• X-Boost
This patented technology alters the motor-induced air pressure level, and it is at maximum pressure by default. There are several benefits to this technology. For instance, increased air power levels would lead to a smoother finish and faster coverage, particularly when working with thicker materials. Lowered air power, on the other hand, results in larger material drops from the sprayer, thereby creating a rougher finish.
• Two-Stage Trigger
The paint sprayer’s trigger has a couple of stages. The first stage is the X-Boost turbine, which you activate after pulling the trigger to a particular point. The second stage kicks in after the trigger is pulled further, which activates material injection.
• Adjustable Nozzle
The sprayer’s nozzle is versatile. You can alter the arc’s patterns and width by just rotating the nozzle. It’s important to fine-tune the nozzle before getting started with a big project such as painting the wall of a room. Also, test the nozzle before painting. The nozzle is perfect for details and figurines too.
