Awesome, thanks Brian. I recently used it on an exterior detail I did for a friend. Really comes in handy for doorjambs. Can't wait for more videos.
Micah It does! Very versatile tool!
Genius!!! Will add extension wand to mine and do the complete vehicle...great idea, thanks a million
Scott from Dallas Paint Correction got everybody using this machine! Amazing how many uses it has.
So true!!! Absolutely!! 👍🏻
Wow Brian, what a neat tool ,it speaks for itself as a real time savor and so efficient .This is one to go on my wish list !
When HF do s their parking lot sale.. usually 2 or 3 times during the summer... you can get it for $169
Karl here in Denver
I acquired this unit and fully concur as to the usefulness of this tool.
It definitely earned it worth ten times over so far 👍🏻
Love this tool, Brian! Cannot wait to see how well this works as a rinseless wash with ONR. Scott gave is just the tip but I know you’ll do a more thorough review. Nice job as usual!
I also use it while applying paint protection films... pressure way down of course
Very nice. Looks like a very handy tool to speed up cleaning nasty areas. If I ever get busy enough I would definitely invest in this
Victor Hernandez You will not be disappointed 👌🏻
Great tutorial and demo Brian!
Thanks! Hey... great tool for all detailers alike!!
This handy little sprayer may turn out to be my favorite detailing gadget (I say "gadget only because I'm a complete amateur with no professional ambitions; I know it's a serious tool). The uses seem only to be limited by your own imagination. Keep'em coming and thanks!
You are right on point! It is a favorite of mine as well.
Lars Dahl why not just uses a small pressure washer ?
awesome tips man
Hey Brian lil additional info for our viewers.... Folks as per usual common sense prevails here. Especially with hood liners on newer vehicles such as in this demo you should be fine but once you get into the realm of daily drivers that are 4yrs old or older these hood liners have degraded from the heat and dirt but look ok to your eye. Not only can you damage them but they will now retain any water no matter how little because it has basically become a dried out sponge. 30 yrs experience in auto body has taught me this. The now wet liner will continue to drip back onto your clean engine bay making it a mess. Just a cautionary word that's all. This is an awesome tool for the job.
Great tip!! Open up the hood...and it may be laying on the engine !!
thank you for the thorough video
I bought one of these sprayers this spring and used it to paint my house and it sucked as a paint sprayer. After I tossed it out I see you and Scott making these videos and now I have to buy another one. I see it’s true calling now.
Noooo!! 😮
Lol... Yeah.. It should be re labeled
I'm getting fantastic results painting with it. You need to get a smaller tip. I use a 413 instead of the 515 that is supplied. For detailing an even smaller tip like a 311 would work well.
It is in fact a Great paint sprayer!!! U probably used the wrong tip or something for the paint u were using. But there are quite a few vids showing u how great and time saving it is as a paint sprayer, its original purpose.
@@sparks6666 where do you get these tips especially the 311
@@tsyriac Amazon, Lowe’s or any paint store.
Thanks for another great video of the Krause and Becker (KB) use in automotive detailing! Quick question: have you tried experimenting with different sprayer nozzle tip sizes? I'm curious if a small nozzle tip (say, 0.011 in) would work better in spraying water, when compared to the nozzle tip that is included with the KB unit?
Now that’s a two bucket method I could use!
Smart idea
Good idea
Get extensions! Try different tips. Then theres the Hyde dual nozzle wand. There's inline sprayers all sorts of good stuff :D
I moved from a house to an apartment (Texas to Oregon) and It is hard to get use to the limitations, and I all the freedom that living in a house implies. My apartment has a common garage (building) and the builders or owners made sure to eliminate any faucet or electric outlet. I really enjoy cleaning my car, I like clean things and Portland doesn't have many coin operated car washes. I liked the idea for the airless paint sprayer, but my options narrowed to be battery operated. I decided to buy the Graco hand held airless paint sprayer pro. I had a similar gun that I used in my home in Texas. I know they are powerful almost as their cousins the electrical cord ones. It is super expensive, but no other option if I want to save water or time. I will post more after this weekend and see how it works out. The limitation is the liquid container is really tiny, but it is good it forces you to save water.
UPDATE:
Well, I washed my car using the Graco cordless. It has pros and cons like anything else. You save so much water, it is just a mist. I think the K&B wins hands down. I think it (K&B) has more power that a battery operated sprayer. I sprayed my hand with water and it is just a mist, your hand gets wet, but I don't see much force or anything. that it is the part that I don't like. I didn't think it is going to be like a power washer, but I was expecting a little more power.
The great thing is where you aim, you get the water right there. So it is easy to wet the car, so you can get it wet before you apply anything so it will work better (ONR). You can even put the ONR on this machine. Another problem is that is heavy and your hand will get tired after awhile.
I am at sitting on the fence with this one. I will try it one more time and see if I keep it.
It seems like the SunJoe would suit you much better, cordless and it has its own bucket.
Where can I find "Piping Hot Water" ? Is there Free delivery with Amazon Prime ?
It appears this video was shot a yr ago how has it held up?
Brian are you still using this unit how has it held up
When would you choose to use this over your Chief 125? It seems like there’s a lot of overlap between those two tools and the Chief seems like it would be a better choice most of the time to me.
Good morning Brian, Hope your day is going well. I was wondering if this unit would be basically the same thing as using a Tornador? Thank you for your time. Ronnie
Same premise....much more power.💪
Brian Great video on the motor, door jams and trunk hatches? Love this machine? Would your All Purpose degreaser work for this?
Everything I have fed it has worked wonderfully...so far. Just flush after.
Flush it with clean water!!
What cleaner and ratio did u use here, Brian?
Hi Brian, A newbie here. What would be suggested "Cleaning Solutions"?
Man, this is some little machine! Very well put together video on the subject matter, too, as usual. Would you say this could replace a steamer and extractor completely? Or is that a little too ambitious? I really want one, but I need a cr spotless in my world first.
It has for me just for the fact that it is light and easy to set up. Just get a bucket of water... no waiting for steam to build up👍🏻
Apex Detail Incredible!
I have a airless pump machine that goes to max 3,000 psi with a FFLP208 tip do u think i can paint a car with it ?
This would work great on wheels right ? Especially indoors . Can you use any cleaning solution ex. Super clean , or a road film remover ?
Use anything you want... I have and nothing fazes it. Just flush thoroughly right after👍🏻
Apex Detail thanks for the info Brian. Can you adjust the spray pattern so the fan is horizontal ?
nmore69 You can buy different nozzles at Lowes for it
You can turn the nozzle that comes with the unit to spray vertical or horizontal.
You can use boling water? doesn´t t harm the machine? Excellent video
Hot not boiling water
Hey Brian, do u have anything for us on the effect of different tips on the Krause & Becker for different detailing scenarios. I see Rich Wachtel below recommending a 311 tip for general detailing. Some advice on this would be great.
There are tips available at some hardware stores where painting contract supplies are sold. I will try to find a link.
@@apexdetail85 H.F. recommends a 515 tip (which they have on the wall for sale) I'm wondering what tip comes with the sprayer? Anyone know? Thanks
How well would this unit be at rinsing after a foam cannon? Would be great to use it to rinse with distilled water.
Rob Cook ... it works perfectly 👍🏻. I will show that in an upcoming vid!
What soap was used?
Are you still using this to this day?
Do you have to prime this unit also what about a magnum project paint with 2800 psi
Yes you have to prime this unit
I bought one of these and nothing happens when the dial is turned to prime. Went back to harbor frieght and the second one was the same. Turned the knob till the machine turned on and no suction for priming
I had the same issue. I had to force feed water into the tube with a cup. Worked just fine! Oil came out, indicating it didn't want to pump water. Hope this helps!
@@justintacy2022 So was it a broken unit?
No, mine works great! Just don't move the bucket when it's running. It doesn't like it and has to be re-primed.
Similar machines like this made by GRACO list thins such as "Annual use recommendation is up to 125 gallons per year", I dont see any recommendations for this machine.
I'm guessing the recommendation is made because the pump inside is only good for XXX gallons. Being that as detailers once can easily go through gallons, I wonder how many gallons the pump on this machine is rated for, and how much a replacment pump would be.
Being a pump made for thicker fluids suck as paints...plain water is much easier on them. Just purchase the storage fluids if you only use it sparingly.
Well being that its only $160, just buy a new one... I would buy two at a time just to have a back up, because the unit pays for itself ×100 fold. Im a painter and even on a small job this unit will pay for itself.
What brand degreaser can I use with this machine?
Any type degreaser will work. I use Super Clean in a spray bottle dilution of 5:1. 👍
Its a paint gun. I can the same thing with piping hot water coming out of my water holes.
However if u had an extension on it then u wud have more pressure
They sell this at harbor freight
yes...sale price...$169.00
what's the pressure setting?
Between 1 and 3 thousand psi
When storing the spray unit prime some coolant
I agree...If you do not use it daily...prime it indeed!
Can you use automotive antifreeze/coolant instead of Pump Armor?
Yes you can and it’s cheaper. I’ve been running it in mine for years.
Better and cheaper than automotive antifreeze is RV antifreeze - it protects and lubricates.
Can you explain more on storing airless sprayer with coolant... after priming coolant through, do you also use 1 ounce of oil in drawn into the hose inlet as Krause and Becker show for storage?
Cómo lubrico está máquina pues no lo sé no trae agujero
Remueve las dos mangueras que conectan al agua y ponle una onza de aceite de cocina o un producto que venden especial para esas máquinas
Never put hot water in an airless sprayer...for any reason. The packing are made of rubber and leather washers that will deform and rot.
How many gpm?
18.6 GPH
Harbor Freight has these on sale for $169.00 on a regular basis. Here is the link www.harborfreight.com/airless-paint-sprayer-kit-60600.html
Appreciate the link! That is what I paid for my unit
Tornador on steroids.
Y is he washing a clean car ? Lol
S
Does he take the trunk parts off to see where all that water went to inside the trunk and dry it everywhere he put it???
I guarantee he didn’t! Now you have mold and rust starting!
Who knows what’s in the cleaning agent he uses and what it eats! When it eats what is it eating!
Document what he does to your vehicle and take pictures and notice what starts to be eaten!
This is not a joke!
Detailers don’t have a clue mostly about mechanical anything or electrical anything!
Pay attention to what they destroy with their so called cleanings!
I bet you’ll see many things once you pull the vail off!
Oh my light in back don’t work! Oh my elect is doing weird things!
Oh I have corrosion in spots all over and the copper is corroding for some reason when it shouldn’t be!
Oh I paid thousands to fix electrical when it shouldn’t be breaking down!
I have it in a heated garage all the time and never drive it in rain or and precipitation at all!
Why am I having these problems?
Everything on the surface seems fine but underneath I have rust corrosion and so many problems why???
Hmm let’s think what has been done to the vehicle?? Hmmm??!
Beware of unknowledgeable folks spraying chemicals and water wherever they want on your vehicle!
Shiny on the outside and rusty and corroded on the inside is unknowledgeable people do horrible things to your vehicle!
Luxury cars! Besides their normal maintenance!
The most repairs are from horrible ways of detailing and cleaning incorrectly!
Ha ha , the proof is there!!!
This unit is not designed to be used for washing cars you will void you sprayers warranty, under this use...why not utilize a pressure washer for washing cars..please do not use hot water in your paint sprayer.
You should have taken all that motor shit jewelry off and also done this to the actual motor and not just the engine plastic guard dude!
If you cleaned my car I’d be extremely pissed off at your half ass job!!!
