The Wagner Wide Shot Power Painter features a ceramic, wide-angle spray tip for painting larger surface areas than standard handheld spray guns. This enables fast, 6.6 gallon-per-hour coverage of big projects like walls, doors and exterior surfaces. With its 2,200 p.s.i. pump, the Wide Shot can handle thin to medium interior and exterior latex, as well as stains, sealers and varnish. A 5-foot auxiliary suction set allows you to draw straight from the paint can or from the included backpack. The Wide Shot operates on 120 volts AC and requires a three-wire grounded extension cord.
