Sideswipe Herbicide Applicator

The safe way to wipe out your weeds.

Easier than a hoe, safer than spraying. The wipe-on applicator puts herbicide where you need it: on the weeds and nowhere else! Patented design is economical, easy, and environmentally sound - even on the windiest days. With protective shield, 1 qt. capacity. Ideal for applying Round-Up.

Product Information

Specs

Handle length 53" and pad length 9". Capacity 1 quart, protective shield on pad can give pad partial exposure or can be removed for full exposure. Reversible clear plastic elbow allows for 180 degree rotation, 1/2" polyester nap wiper pad.

Product Features

Carry the Sideswipe with the pad elevated above the handle to help stop over-wetting the pad, which may cause dripping. A shut off valve (such as our 304so or so22 or 300so) can be added between the handle and the elbow to prevent dripping during storage or while carrying from one area to another. The elbow has hose threads for this purpose. Adding chemical to the water solution in the handle does not prevent dripping if the Sideswipe is carried without elevating the pad above the handle (per manufacturer).

Warranty

Manufacturer supplies a 90-day warranty.

Sideswipe applicator

This thing leaks like a sieve, even with an added shut-off. Bought a rope type-much better, no leaking and better coverage. Need to go back to the drawing board on this one.
