Tomahawk Mister
By Geoffrey on 09/28/2020
Blower/mister appears to work as advertised. Assembly is straightforward. instructions are spare and incomplete. There are no instructions for use as a leaf blower or for use with dry insecticide. The website also does not have that information for this unit. The manufacturer did not respond to my e-mail requesting that information (Three weeks and waiting). Two components for dry insecticide use were not shipped with the unit. I will be requesting replacements.

Intrigued but time will tell..

I wish i could give 3.5 stars for now, mainly just for the fact that i can now 'domyown' lawn treatments. So far ive only used it once. The unit does take some getting used to. I use both a 4 gallon backpack lithium powered sprayer for herbicide application and a blower for lawn use. I thought this would be the best of both worlds. Turns out, its a bit awkward. First off its HEAVY when filled and oddly balanced. You must mix the solution on a tailgate or elevated platform, because 4 gallons of solution, plus a two-stroke engine require some might to handle. First time i used it, i mixed the solution from the ground and was barely able to get it up. I had to tilt it in order to get the straps on my back and hoist it up. In doing so, i ended up spilling a good bit of solution. Once i got it on my back, i couldn't tell if it was leaking or if it was just wet from when i spilled it earlier. Also, the straps are poorly made. They come off pretty easily at the bottom where they attach to the unit. Once i got it up and going, it was easy to use and apply the treatment on my property. The mist flowed good and had a good distance. I was able to shoot solution way up towards the tops of my green giants which was awesome. I could also easily adjust the pattern and amount of solution being sprayed which i thought was a good feature. So far we havent been bothered with insects over the last 3 weeks since the first application. All in all, I'm satisfied, but with a few reservations. Eventually i'll figure out a process and im sure my experience will get better. However, i would recommend to the manufacturer that they come up with a better way to balance and distribute the weight of the unti when filled. Also, the straps need to be re-engineered as they pop off pretty easily.
