Do I need a special drill to use it?

It attaches to most major-brand cordless drills and impact drivers. A drill with enough torque and a charged battery keeps the pump running steadily.

Does the paint need to be thinned?

No. The airless pump is designed to spray paint as it comes, though very thick coatings may still need a little thinning.

Can I spray upside down or overhead?

Yes. VacuValve technology lets it spray in any direction, including upside down, which helps on ceilings and undersides.

How large a project is it meant for?

Graco tailors it to projects up to about 2 gallons, such as doors, trim, furniture, fences and garage doors. Larger jobs mean more refills.

What comes in the box?

One wide paint tip, one wide stain tip, an inlet filter, two 32 oz FlexLiner bags, an easy-fill funnel and strainer, seal lube and a quick start guide.

Is it a good choice over a battery-powered sprayer?

It suits people who already own a capable drill and want a lighter tool without another battery platform. A self-contained sprayer is simpler if you lack a strong drill.
