The Wagner SprayPack 18V: Revolutionizing Cordless Airless Spraying for Trade Professionals
Posted on 15 July 2025 in News
In the fast-paced world of professional painting and decorating, mobility and efficiency are paramount. The new Wagner SprayPack 18V cordless airless paint sprayer represents a groundbreaking advancement in spray technology, offering unprecedented freedom and performance for trade professionals across New Zealand. This innovative backpack-style sprayer eliminates the constraints of power cords and extension leads, enabling painters to work anywhere on the construction site with professional-grade results.
The SprayPack 18V addresses one of the most persistent challenges faced by professional painters: the need for reliable, high-quality spray equipment that can operate independently of fixed power sources. Whether you’re working on remote construction sites, multi-story buildings, or areas where electrical access is limited, this cordless airless sprayer delivers the power and precision that trade professionals demand.
A New Era of Cordless Spray Technology
Wagner has long been recognized as a leader in spray technology, and the SprayPack 18V represents the culmination of decades of engineering excellence and real-world feedback from professional users. This innovative system combines the proven performance of airless spray technology with the convenience and flexibility of cordless operation, creating a solution that truly understands the needs of working professionals.
The development of the SprayPack 18V reflects Wagner’s commitment to solving real-world challenges faced by trade professionals. Traditional corded airless sprayers, while powerful, often limit mobility and require careful planning around power sources. The SprayPack 18V eliminates these constraints while maintaining the high-pressure performance and superior finish quality that professionals expect from airless technology.
What sets the SprayPack 18V apart is its integration with the BOSCH AMPShare battery system, a cross-brand platform that allows professionals to share batteries across multiple tool brands. This compatibility means that contractors who already use BOSCH professional tools can leverage their existing battery investment, reducing overall equipment costs and simplifying battery management on job sites.
Unmatched Versatility and Adaptability
One of the most impressive features of the SprayPack 18V is its remarkable adaptability to different working conditions and user preferences. The system can be configured in three distinct ways to match specific job requirements and user comfort preferences. As a backpack sprayer, it provides hands-free mobility and even weight distribution, making it ideal for extended painting sessions and vertical surface work. The ergonomically molded backpack design ensures comfort during all-day use, with the weight distributed evenly across the user’s back and shoulders.
For applications where a backpack configuration isn’t suitable, the SprayPack 18V can be placed on the ground and used as a traditional stationary sprayer. This flexibility is particularly valuable when working in confined spaces or when the job requires frequent material changes. The compact design and integrated carrying handle also allow the unit to be easily transported by hand when needed, providing maximum flexibility for different working scenarios.
The 90-degree hose connection is a thoughtful design feature that contributes significantly to the system’s usability. This connection can be individually aligned to optimize hose management, reducing tangles and ensuring smooth operation regardless of the working position. The 7.5-meter hose length provides excellent reach while maintaining the high-pressure performance necessary for professional results.
Advanced Airless Technology for Professional Results
At the heart of the SprayPack 18V lies sophisticated airless spray technology that delivers the high-speed coverage and superior finish quality that professionals demand. The airless spraying process atomizes paint at high pressure, creating a fine, even spray pattern that produces smooth, professional finishes with minimal overspray. This technology is particularly effective for covering large surfaces quickly while maintaining consistent coating thickness and appearance.
The system features a robust piston pump with excellent suction capabilities, ensuring reliable material flow even with thicker coatings and primers. This pump design is engineered for durability and consistent performance, capable of handling the demanding requirements of professional use day after day. The pump’s efficient design also contributes to the system’s impressive battery life, allowing users to process up to 10 litres of material on a single battery charge.
The SprayPack 18V operates at a maximum pressure of 110 bar (11 MPa), providing the power necessary to atomize even thick, high-viscosity materials effectively. The maximum delivery rate of 0.9 litres per minute ensures efficient coverage of large surfaces, while the precision engineering maintains consistent spray patterns throughout the operating pressure range.
Professional-Grade Components and Accessories
The SprayPack 18V comes equipped with the Vector Pro airless spray gun, a professional-grade tool designed specifically for demanding trade applications. The Vector Pro gun features robust construction and ergonomic design, providing comfortable operation during extended use. The gun’s precision engineering ensures consistent spray patterns and reliable performance, even under the high-pressure conditions required for professional airless spraying.
Complementing the Vector Pro gun is the TradeTip 3 FineFinish spray tip, which features a special double core design for the finest paint atomization. This advanced tip technology is particularly effective in low-pressure ranges, making it ideal for achieving high-quality finishes on detailed work and premium surfaces. The TradeTip 3 FineFinish tip can accommodate nozzle sizes up to 0.017 inches, providing versatility for different coating types and application requirements.
The system’s compact design extends beyond just portability. The SprayPack 18V features minimal internal cross-sections, which significantly reduces the amount of cleaning fluid required for maintenance. This design consideration not only saves time and money on cleaning materials but also makes the end-of-day cleanup process more efficient, allowing professionals to move quickly between jobs or different coating materials.
Comprehensive Material Compatibility
The SprayPack 18V demonstrates exceptional versatility in material handling, accommodating a wide range of coatings commonly used in professional applications. The system excels with water-based and solvent-based paints, making it suitable for both interior and exterior projects. Lacquers, oils, and separating agents can be applied with confidence, while synthetic resin varnishes and PVC varnishes are handled with ease.
For specialized applications, the SprayPack 18V can handle 2-component varnishes, primers, and fillers, making it valuable for protective coating work and surface preparation. With additional accessories, the system’s capabilities extend to emulsion paints, latex paints, adhesives, and sealants, providing comprehensive coverage for virtually any professional painting or coating application.
This broad material compatibility makes the SprayPack 18V an excellent investment for contractors who work with diverse coating types. Rather than requiring multiple specialized spray systems, professionals can rely on a single, versatile unit that adapts to different project requirements. This versatility not only reduces equipment costs but also simplifies inventory management and reduces the learning curve for operators.
Technical Specifications and Performance Data
The SprayPack 18V’s technical specifications reflect its professional-grade design and performance capabilities.
