Could you all share some other manufacturer or common names for those pnuematic aerosol cans like 'Sure Shot'.

Its hard to find things on ebay or other sites if you don't know all the different ways a tool is called

thanks

Are you looking for the best price on a Sure Shot or are you looking for other brands? IMHO stay with Sure Shot brand.

Both, I guess
I am curious if Sure Shot has so captured the market that their brand name defines the tool itself.

And i am looking for inexpensive good quality tools like many others here, so I look for other brand names for the same tool.

Just make sure when you drop them they dont land on the tip... it tends to get boogerd up.:eek: also, when or IF you get one make sure to unscrew the tip and take out the little brass thingy IF you want a stream instead of a mist.

We have two of them at the shop. They both have brake clean in them. We just pump it out of the 5 gallon can into them and add air.

I ordered 5 from McMaster last year. They were pricey, but worth it for what we do. Put a little Zep Big Orange-E in one and that's as good as it gets.

I think sure shot is the segment leader for pressurized spray cans. I like that they are completely rebuildable aside from impact damage to the body itself. Titan released a cheaper PRC made version a year ago or so but, I haven't used it.
Sure shots are great for brake clean. You can save money and reduce trash by getting brake clean in 5 gallon containers and using compressed air as the propellent, beats the hell out of aerosol cans.
