    Can definitely see how the nozzle guard could come in clutch with helping soften the impact of that bad boy flys off the gun. Another great review with your own twist making it even better.

      Uberflex video comparison against my 3/8 is being edited right now. Bought two so I could play with one. 85% of the comments was the uberflex so had to try it out. It’s amazing.

    I knew there would be a small window based on your original vid to actually make and ebay a few before other companies started. Still like the look of the one you made the best. The other MTM guard that’s not as pliable($6.99)is also nice using 1/4” female qc and small threaded coupler. Thats a more realistic price point($25)compared to the acqualine@ $47.99 on MTM $37 Amazon or Clean garage. I bought one just out of curiosity and they use a unique coupler I’m assuming is proprietary and very tough to take apart 😂. You should of been apart of the design team as the price is better but aesthetically not quite as appealing to the ones you made. Great work once again!!

    Have you tried the mtm acqualine ones with nozzle guards? Is this mckillans one better than that or equivalent?

    • @CarsWithKeav
      @CarsWithKeav  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have not they are too expensive for my taste. They are all equivalent when it comes to performance as it’s all about protecting the paint from accidental touching. In that case I think the Mckillans is superior as the nozzle is more inside and less metal showing in the quick connect area plus cheaper. Only issue with Mckillans is only one size which is 4.0, but you can order more tips and change them out. Ridge washer also makes a set of nozzles for $20 and they are real good too plus several sizes to choose from. amzn.to/42Al6tU

      @@rubenharris9241 I wouldn’t think so. To me the biggest reason to run 3/8 is a heavier hose to stay flat on the floor and 3/8 fitting. Most 1/4 come with m22 fittings. You won’t see the difference I wouldn’t think until much higher psi and flow of a gas pressure washer. 3/8 are usually rated much higher for pressure.

      No difference other than the three that were in my hand had different size openings depending on the pressure washer and the flow/pressure I am looking for. These are just to protect you from making a mistake. All nozzles work the same if they have the same opening size just some look different and others like these have rubber guards to protect the paint.

      Mckillans doesn’t go to a 4.5 and 4.0 is too small for an active 2.3 it will stress the machine. MTM Aqualine has 4.5 nozzles and you could also buy just the nozzle tip from MtM and swap them out. Takes a bit of effort as the threads have loctite on them. amzn.to/3ZXio2h
