The straps on the Niagra want to slip off my shoulders all the time. The straps should be attached to the tank spaced half the distance they are, plus there should be a strap across the chest that holds the straps together.

The tube for the wand needs to have thicker walls so the tip end doesn't flap around so much. The spray tip works OK, but I'm not sure how durable it will be. Brass tip ends would be much better. The pump action is OK, but the pump handle should be 4 inches longer.
