Thought they were meant to vibrate? Mine certainly does.

Try it again - what you've got is always going to be cheaper than buying
something else.

Plan B: (if yours doesn't work) Buy a new one from Homebase and make sure
you clean it thoroughly between applying treatments if the job goes over
more than one day.

Jon,
I bought one of those cheap sprayers a few years ago, you have to
clean the spray nozzle and also apply a little oil to the mechanism to keep
it working.
The problem with fence paint is that the thickness can be inconsistent
enough to cause the sprayer nozzle to clog often.
A few years ago, I bought some fence paint which claimed to be suitable for
spraying, but now the exact same make just says suitable for brush or
roller!
I checked some other brands, and they don't mention spraying either , one
expensive brand specifically advised against it due to it containing wax.
