Must be a typo... the web site has it at $59.99. For $19.95, I'd probably buy another one... or two.

If you print the online ones and take it into the store, they honor the online price. I do it all the time.

However, there are a few exceptions to that rule. If it says "online only" then the store does not honor it.

Make sure it is a 43430. The catalog I have has the 47016 for $24.99 and the 91009 for $29.99. Both are purple and look like the 43430. Neither are HVLP. The 43430 is $39.99 in this catalog.

I am well familiar with this gun and it definitely is the 43430 HVLP gun. It is on the back cover of the new catalog no.159-B and if anyone wants one they can order it at 1-800-423-2567 and order item no.43430-2AVB

Just be sure that if you are new to the 43430 that you do understand that it is an air hog and that there is a LOT of overspray. Other then that, it is a pretty good gun for the price. There are several good past posts here about how well it works.

As far as the price, it can depend on the day, the phase of the moon and the cost of Fuji apples in Algeria

Go to the view shopping cart and click on order from printed catalog. Type in this model #, 43430-2AVB and it will bring up the gun for 19.99. Just got that catalog and a different one but both from HF today. Strange, but it is 19.99.

For those not familiar with this gun it is assembled REALLY tight from the factory and when disassembling it the first time that flimsy wrench included will usually break so use a better tool and remember some parts are left hand thread. I bought a couple of those things some time ago and even though I now have an IWATA I still use my "Purple" guns sometimes and they do a really good job but they do like a lot of air.

The part that has a left hand thread is the brass air "diffuser" that the fluid tip is threaded into.
