I have not used a Makita handheld yet. I have heard its pretty good.

I am unsure on that I know some have tried to turn air hose reels into poressure washer reels, but I never went down that path. I hear its better to stay closer to 800 PSI versus 1k PSI and you tend to have less issues. Maybe somebody in the comments will be able to help. I know I have seen many nightmares with parts blowing failing and leaking and a few where parts blew off. Many end up no longer connecting the pressure washer and just use the reel for the hose storage then take it out each time to use.

You're Welcome

I had issues with my breaker because it was a arc and gfci combo and was too sensitive. I changed out that 20A and switched it out for a 30A and had no problems. It uses a good bit of energy to get going.

I’m not sure have not tried any of those. I tend to steer away from Amazon battery powered equipment like that and buy Ryobi, Greenworks or Ego. I might have to try them though we shall see how the budget play out for the rest of the year.

Me too, ordering from their site is quite easy though and usually free shipping doesn’t have a very high minimum amount.

It’s been working great needed to go back with some self leveling sealant to fix low areas. If I had to do it again I would have bought a channel saw instead and would have had perfect drains. Didn’t hear about them till after I was done. 🤣

Swisstrax on top and underneath there is a drainage channel system cut about 2 inches wide and 1 inch deep. All along the walls and then slopes toward the center and then out the garage. ruclips.net/video/HV8xDwMUctk/видео.htmlsi=u6i1fKJzQAgSGMC3 Took me awhile, but it’s all dialed in now and 98% drains out the rest I run my split A/C on dry mode and it keeps the humidity down.

I’m very good at bloopers. 🤣

Dang! There is another seller with one that is very close with different colors as well. amzn.to/3VGuOJi

This would be the swivel amzn.to/3Xt558n are you looking to swivel a stock gun or a short gun? Most don't do that, but it can be done. the investment is basically what a decent swivel gun itself would cost. There are some swivel guns that are $20 such as this one that has the same connection as a stock gun. amzn.to/3RvZavv

I use it from time to time. I’m a big foam kind of guy and just prefer it and I leaf blow dry. I don’t like to use drying towels.

@@CarsWithKeav I’ve never used a blower do you think it’s better then towels in the sun because I detail outside

@@marionavarrete5533 It is if you are using spotless water as the final rinse. If you blow tap water it will evaporate and spread minerals all over masking the coating if there is one and leaving a haze. That’s the main reason I use spotless ware for final rinse.

It is a little bit better from a trigger squeeze point of view. The swivel is slightly better as well. The SGS28 is worth it over the Mckillans more than the Active. Been abusing mine for 4 years now. Mckillans also has a new pro gun coming out. I’ll be doing a review on it soon.

@@CarsWithKeav appreciate it 💪🏾

I have not hhad any good success using the blower port of a shop vac. I have not tried the EGO one to say for sure, but it only has 110cfm of suction so on the blower side it wouldn't be much more. For the interior carpets the Tornador style devices don't have much competition they are that good. If you have Ryobi batteries their new handheld 18v is crazy good and would do way better than a vac blower could. ATL represent!

That really sucks! Do you think it was damaged in shipping by being dropped? Not exactly the response I would want for sure, but based on some other comments is inline with what they have said. Hope it gets resolved for you. There is always “The Chargeback” as the final option.

​@@CarsWithKeavI have been using pressure washers and repairing them myself for atleast 10 years and after opening the pump up my honest opinion is the pump looked "used" parts looked warn inside, and the leak is internal. I don't think it would be possible for whatever is wrong with the unit to have happened during shipping. I have used it and am otherwise impressed it's just annoying to have a gallon of water inside of my business every 20 ish minutes. Still waiting on a response from the company wondering if I will ever get one.. will update when resolved..

@@modernredneck9862 Sounds like maybe a refurbished unit that was returned possibly. They didn’t rebuild correctly so now it leaks.

That would look even better great suggestion. This floor works great if you blow it out every few weeks. The first goes right out the channels underneath and doesn’t kick up much dust at all. Epoxy was around $2800 quoted for me.

Yeah, it’s become an industry wide understanding now.

Thank you!

You can tell I have OCD about background noise. 🤣

To upgrade the hose there is this adapter. amzn.to/45mStl2 If you just want to upgrade the gun then there is this adapter. amzn.to/3VDYVkq If your gun has 3/8 quick connect then you will need to add this. amzn.to/4b1rgpp

I don’t go by Amazon reviews because most people that buy these don’t know about their own water quality. You can’t use something this small if your water is hard it will deplete the resin quickly and maybe not even get to 0ppm. Not the devices fault for that. Proper research was not done. Something this small you need to be under 200ppm to get to 0 and have it last more than just a few washes.

@@CarsWithKeav All good points, and I do have a new whole house water softener at 16-25 ppm already (Probably mostly from saline regeneration, I’m assuming why you can’t use brine with 0ppm DI filters, my water softener already is one. But I digress. I loved your video on the Envig because you ran out 250 gallons and measured TDS. Something I would’ve loved to see with this because it’s cheaper.

@@JohannGambolputty22 I will be trying it out again soon to do some testing on how effective carbon pre-filters are and does regeneration give the same results. I want to get into regenerating myself as resin gets expensive. I’m also curious how many gallons it can do I never actually measured on that setup. I’m thinking 150 gallons at 2gpm.

@@CarsWithKeav That would be awesome, I’m still not sure why these DI systems have to discard the resin instead of rinsing it. Keep up the good work, your videos are excellent

Never plan to use a creeper so I’m good there. We all have our opinions and I respect yours, but I’ve been using these for years and I love them. They blow out with a leaf blower and the channels underneath are design to flow air and water which keeps the blow dirt from kicking up and just going straight out. Now some do put these down and never clean, but I blow them out once a week like I always have before the tiles.

It works one way, but not the other. The ramps with the male connections work, but the female ones will not. It works though so I’m not complaining. That was the main reason I was worried to buy these. I would have figured something out, but that makes it way easier. I’m sure it’s copied amazing what you can do with a 3d scanner nowadays.

On the do will do a little better as it can hold 10lbs of resin and tank style tend to be a bit more efficient. If looking at On the go standard which is around $250 the Griots at $299 is a good deal as it has bypass, comes with 13 lbs of resin, the tank can hold 20 lbs and it does 4gpm. I just got done filming a video on one.

Bear Force all day.

They are holding future shipments until they get some issues fixed. I have parts testing now. They are having low voltage issues that they did not foresee. They didn’t do much actual research in the U.S. just lab testing based on perfect 120v which is a big miss on their part. They may be changing the listing for the changes that will be made when all testing is good.

@@CarsWithKeav Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how often companies do stuff like this in failing to test product in a real world situation before releasing them. I bought a golf simulator launch monitor a few years back from a company called Earnest Sports. The thing was absolutely useless when any natural light was present. Even in a room with windows, the thing was useless. When I called support, they essentially admitted that it was never tested in the outdoor environment. I was able to get my money back within 30 days, but many folks got screwed.

@@ILruffian Yeah, it’s a mix of not knowing the actual power grid voltage and how most homes are wired. Then they try to bring a 4 pole motor which needs all that voltage to get going if not it has to increase amps then trips the breaker or it’s own protection circuit. Nobody really has done a motor like that for this type of task in a 120v power grid. Would have been a good idea to hire a consulting group to help them launch in the U.S.

@@CarsWithKeav Good insight, thanks for sharing. Obsessed Garage may have some conflicts of interest, but he was apparently said that they were a marketing company vs. one experienced in build and design.

@@ILruffian Matt has a specific criteria he believes in and a line he won’t cross and it’s not the same as mine. I don’t take his word when it comes to things he has not tested or used. That’s why I prefer to try them out for myself he misses a lot of good products due to his line in the sand when it comes to Chinese manufacturing.

Here is my my affiliate link to their site just navigate to watering tools. This shutoff is actually their sprayer which has garden hose threads at the end and allows you to use their quick connects this way. Makes it easier to switch between their cleaning nozzle and shower nozzle easily. I love their quick connects. www.eleyhosereels.com/?rfsn=7891545.320d539

Mine stop after trigger if it is going another 5 to 10 seconds there is an issue with the pressure switch. What hose are you using?

@@CarsWithKeav currently using the bigboi 13m hose, pressure switch seems to trigger instantly but pump keeps running. I will contact bigboi and see if this is a known issue

@@lachlanmacrae5560 Sounds like an issue with the spring inside the regulator. It is supposed to retract to allow the machine to build pressure to have the pressure switch kick off. I think I have seen one other comment about that and the spring was broke. It’s just inside the 3/8 quick connect area just after the regulator adjustment knob.

Spring seems good and the pressure switch is definitely activating as soon as the trigger is released, Im starting to think this might be a design choice for the Australian market, as I have noticed this on a few other videos who have the Australian version 🤔

@@lachlanmacrae5560 Possibly I don’t know the products their plus that would be a 230 volt unit as well I think. Way more performance than what I get get in our 120 volt.

Lucky the area around that screw was already cracked so it just broke sort easily.

I never really used the gun because it is just not that good. The pump is great which is why I like them. I just use a slightly upgraded hose and sprayer works great.

Might have to like my own video. 🤣

Thank you for the kind words!

I like keyless entry. I’ll take the risk.

Have not had any problems and my side of the garage I come in at an angle toward the wall and cut back almost full lock to straighten out. RWD and FWD cars. Only issue I would see is if you had a car with a locked diff and pushed the gas a bit too much maybe that could spin a tile. Never tried it though. I know full race car facilities that use swisstrax and they turn cars like crazy to get them in lifts and into storage.

I go off what I prefer which is closer to 1k PsI. 5.0 will get around 700 PSI. I personally like the 4.0 and sometimes go for the 4.5 for a final rinse.

The main point of the video was to show durability difference between clear and HDPE bottles which was a topic of discussion in many videos due to people saying their clear bottle broke. Nobody else would sacrifice their foam cannons so I decided to do it. If you wanted to know the results after one or two drops sure that’s feasible, but I wanted to know what they could handle so I went with the three drop method and then continue to increase the drop height. You would not believe how often they get dropped. I’ve had one fall off a shelf and break as well.

It’s got some gloss enhancers built in as well. About what you expect out of a mild quick detailer.

@@CarsWithKeav thx 👍👍

Thanks

We all have our ways and pressure washers are a want vs a need and I want them. I try just a garden hose every now and then and the effificiency of the pressure washer and it’s ability to clear soap residue it’s something I can’t give up. It does clean better as well after the pre-soak as it get more grime and debris off which will have less contamination in your contact wash. Some people like Starbucks and I don’t drink coffee, but I’ll splurge on a pressure washer I can use over and over and not throw away.

If on city/county water carbons filters. If I’m on well water one sediment filter and one carbon filter. Sediment filter first.

@@CarsWithKeav standard 2.5x10 size or do I want a larger one? Does it matter if its granulated vs solid charcoal for our car washing purposes?

@@supersean58 I always prefer 10x4.5 if going into a DI system of this size. I like this filter been using it for awhile plus it’s 1 micron. amzn.to/4ehdIcc

I tried the power supply gets in the way. You would have to get creative, but anything is possible.
