Autobahn Review: Werkstatt Spray Bottles

  1. Werkstatt Bottle w/ Sprayer: $1.75

    I LOVE these spray bottles. I needed a bottle that could fit into my Sterilite drawer container, standing upright, and these little guys fit the bill, perfectly. With a volume of 16.9 oz (5OO ml), they hold more than enough liquid for virtually any application. The PETE plastic is incredibly stiff-not to mention CLEAR. Most spray bottles are opaque, but not these guys! Just about all of my other spray bottles warp at some point- I'll have to wait and see, but it would take a lot of strength to even make these things budge (atleast near the bottom & top). On top of all this goodness, they're dirt cheap. Here are the pictures to prove my point.

    The sprayer is identical to Optimum's Sprayers- 3 settings. Spray, Stream, Off. Twisting the knob is firm, quick, and it feels solid.

    Filled with Optimum Car Wax about 1/2 way. Some spray bottles perform better when there is more product in the container, so to really get an accurate picture of what the use may be like, I decided to not fill it 100%.

    Another angle. Extremely even spray pattern. A decent radius for the size of the bottle.

    Pros:
    -Cheap
    -Sturdy, Clear Plastic
    -Compact
    -Great Spray Pattern

    Cons:
    -Not as adjustable as others (although, those cost 2 times as much)

    the question is, do they leak, like if they tip over in the car/ detail bag/ etc.
     
  5. The conditional answer is NO. You have to remember to twist the knob to OFF before placing it in the bag. Not too hard :shrug:.

    Just watch out for the sprayer coming off of the bottle when done up a little tight after filling it with a product

    I find that doing them up just a fraction too much makes the sprayer pop up like a spring
     
  8. Didn't understand that... but I'll keep a lookout for that problem :headbang:

    I have been searching for this thread for days!!!! I been looking for this exact size bottle/sprayer. These looks identical to the CG's 16oz bottle/sprayer (not spray/trigger they sell by itself but the one they sell with the 16oz stuff). Thanks!!

    Just a little tip. After you turn the nozzle to off, (make sure it totally in the off position) pull the trigger. Sometimes you'll get a little bit come out. That way it won't leak into your bag. As far as leaking if they tip over, they don't.
    Mine are stored on their sides in my bag and have never leaked.

    Anyone compare these to the Chemical Resistant/Big Blaster Spray Bottles from US Plastics?

    I like these bottles as well. However the Adams sprayer heads are a little better. But I do love the bottle

    I love these bottles. Great price, totally clear, nice spray mist, just good stuff. I ordered 6 of these last fall thinking that would be plenty :doh: Well I just ordered another dozen because they work so well you find applications for them. Thanks Autobahn!

    +1, those look pretty solids as well. They appear to have the same spray head as the CG bottles.

    I have 3 of these bottles, plus a bottle of Werkstat AJT. These bottles are nice. I think the spray head has good construction, unlike some other sprayers I have. I actually use one for tire dressing, and it performs 100%. Plus I love the fact that the plastic is CLEAR! Nice size also.
