ACTIVE SHORTGUN DEVELOPMENT - OBSESSED GARAGE COLLAB 1

[@kolopoustas]

Jamie's got a gun!

[@duncan5657]

I would buy the premium all aluminum version, that thing sounds awesome, should look unique.

[@alancongratssoonyoullhead5273]

Looking great 👍🏼 It’s August now, and still no news

[@mike.monkhouse]

Really looking forward to this... Would you consider coming out with a hose reel?

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Hi Mike, it's something that we might be interested in the future but it's not in our focus at the moment.

[@sootherelax2802]

Wow a brand that actually makes update videos. Matt’s probably ecstatic about this

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

We are trying!

[@Neslandcruisin]

Awesome! I do prefer the plastic trigger for the gun especially during cold days easier on the fingers compared to metal just my preference.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thanks for this great insight. We will take note of this for future development!

[@wd8062]

A snap over grip backstrap would be cool for people with bigger hands or possible arthritis would be cool

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Great feedback, thank you!

[@DaveFogel]

Any update on the release of the gun? Just pre-ordred my active 2.0 and I would like to get the gun with it!

[@bbdetailing9123]

I had a good chuckle at about 8:58

[@tyleroconnell3067]

Active truly is coming into the market strong and ready to push the boundaries that have been set in stone by all the competitors. This is something big and I cant wait to get my v2.0 when they release!

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thanks for the vote of confidence. We are really trying to put out products that are more valuable, truly useful and just cool.

[@mwahlert]

I'm excited about the release of these accessories. It is so refreshing to see a brand truly listen and respond to the wants and needs of their customers.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thank you for the kind words and support!

[@CarsWithKeav]

This is great! One thing on the Aluminum trigger please have it coated or a slide on rubber grip. Those of us who wash when it’s colder outside won’t want a metal trigger. Plastic keeps the hands warm.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thank you for your great input. We'll put this into consideration!

[@jessejames7766]

@@ACTIVEPRODUCTS Or just rubberized ribbing/shapes (perhaps mini active logos) would take care of this concern while still achieving the whole point of giving the user a connection to metal 'guts' :)

[@kolopoustas]

So buy the fucking plastic trigger! What's your fucking point.

[@gseybold]

I have the current Active V1 power washer. Looking forward to V 2.0 and purchasing it should I run into the surge issue again.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Let’s hope you don’t run into that issue!

[@bolivianfuego]

Guys, what’s the pricing looking like for this gun? Will you also make your own foam cannon add on?

[@mikec8101]

What’s the latest ETA on the short gun?

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

No updates at the moment, we will be posting once we're ready to update everybody.

[@ryancpeters]

Next up - Active Foam Cannon 2.0 - transparent polycarbonate, wide mouth, self dilution via the straw - no need to premix with H20 like the Griots Boss cannon

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Love the suggestion! Let our engineers look at it and we will get back to you.

[@BrianLouderback]

Absolutely! Active is gonna take over the detailing space if they keep it going!

[@tmw2442]

any updates on the release date and estimated price?

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

We will be posting new updates within the next few weeks so stay tuned.

[@WillDill94]

I just asked yesterday on the v2.0 video if a snub gun was going to be included with it, and then this hits KZbin. Gotta love the timing!

[@milkoil]

Basically the greatest statement about the benefits of capitalism. We studied the competition and decided to offer a similar product at a superior price. Well done guys. Love these couple videos about your products the sit down talk gives me more time to actually judge your investment and understanding of what we need products to do and gives me an idea of your legitimate design process and understanding. I'm probably goingnto buy the 2.0 as my next replacement as a guy working from home the Kranzle is a dream the 2.0 gpm is the only reality I need.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Hello, thank you for your kind words. We believe that the product is the solution. Our products are tools that are meant to improve people’s everyday lives - whether solving a business problem or addressing a gap in the consumer market.

[@patcap535]

Looks like a winner I think adding a swivel to the plastic version would be nice. I can only speak for myself but I think the plastic version is more practical for detailing.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Absolutely the plastic model is going to be best for most people. The Aluminum gun is more of a design/statement/enthusiast/engineering piece. If you are a fan of raw, authentic materials and old school tools, it’s going to quite special.

[@williamcarter1381]

Hi, I’m really enjoying your videos on upcoming products. It’s refreshing to see a company listening to consumer comments and responding. I’m looking forward to getting the 2.0 pressure washer.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

We are looking forward to see how customers like it!

[@sitton440]

Great work fellas! But with the aluminum I would agree a cover for insulation purposes to keep hands cool when running heat and warm with cold water. Very excited to hear about your kranzle competitor

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Do you run hot water through your pressure washer? Or use a hot water pressure washer? This gun hasn’t really been considered for hot water use (doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea)

[@bobzarinelli1276]

Great Where can I order please?

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Hey Bob, it's not available yet but it can be purchased through our website www.activeproducts.com when it releases.

[@champhawj]

I am in the market for a pressure washer. Looked at several. Made a decision. And then fell upon your video about reviewing your previous version of the VE52, then led me to this video. You’ve convinced me to switch to the Active 2.0. Well done. Keep being honest.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Hey Champ, welcome to the Active community and thank you for your support!

[@moisesperez3693]

Will that short gun come with the 2.0 OR can we get that separately ?

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

The short gun and the 2.0 are sold separately.

[@MrSquire10]

PLEASE offer a purchase option for v2.0 w Short Gun as a package, an option to forego the standard gun. Thank you!

[@inoagaiwhodetails]

You guy's really have my attention. Okay here's a recommendation. Check out the DeWalt electric pressure washer 2100psi it looks like a square yellow box in a frame. The gun on the machine is really sweet looking. Very modern looking. It even has storage built in the gun. It has 3 holes to place different tips yellow green white. There placed in front of the trigger and it looks like you're wearing a set of ring's. As a mobile detailer efficiency is key. So if I lose a tip or it gets dirty and I need one right away. I just raise the gun and pull a tip from there and install within seconds and keep working avoiding soap or other acidic cleaners to stay on the paint to long letting the Sun bake it in while I'm searching for another tip. It would be interesting to see how you can incorporate that into your pressure washer gun design.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

You are reading our mind

[@inoagaiwhodetails]

@@ACTIVEPRODUCTS and maybe some kind of attachment accessory. Some kind of universal clip with the holes to put on any existing pressure washer gun. Just some how attach or clip on the accessory and anyone can have there tips right there. Not many people realize. But as Mobile detailer's. We need to bend over and kneel as least as possible. Many like me have had some kind of surgery and we are still out there working. I appreciate anything that can help prevent me from bending over so much. I love what I do. And the more I bend the more wear and tear on my body. I look forward to seeing what you guy's come up with. Glad to see someone is trying to create what's needed. If that happens. Oh boy! You guy's are gonna sell out machines.

[@no_lft_shft]

I absolutely love the design. The ergonomics look perfect. A big issue I've had with other models is the trigger being to rigid so where as my wrist or forearm would exhaust quickly during use. Hopefully this design helps to improve that. To bad cobra jet doesn't make a yellow hose because that hose with the new 2.0 and this shorty gun would look great. They do have a grey one though so that won't look bad either lol. Sign me up.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thanks for the feedback! Hope you will enjoy the product!

[@JP_JP9]

You guys take a cool approach to pressure washers. Just got mine to wash my car and I’m excited to use it. Whatever you guys do with the gun, I just hope it’s easily compatible with my unit.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Hey JP, thank you for the kind words. We hope that you enjoy your unit! In terms of the gun, it will be compatible with a whole lot of units.

[@SNieX0]

Guys - this stuff is amazing!!!!! please have these available to us up here in Canada - youtube chat members priority :)

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Yes, stay tuned on how to buy!

[@BrianLouderback]

From a business perspective I wouldn’t waste any time or money on the metal version. I feel it’s going to going to cost you more than what you’ll get out of it. As long as the plastic version is QUALITY, that’s all that you need.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

The aluminum gun would be a special “enthusiast” piece - wouldn’t necessarily make sense from a business perspective. I agree, a high quality plastic gun meets most every performance requirement.

[@artbaer3122]

Looks like another home run to go with the new Active 2.0. I am sure that you are doing the best you can with availability, but SOONER vs. later would be nice!

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Travel restrictions, engineering challenges and supply chain difficulties have all contributed to a longer than ideal development timeline. But also a desire to get the product right!

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Totally love what Active is doing. My VE52 is a beast!! Your attention towards details AND detailers is top notch!

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thank you for your feedback. Let us know what else detailers need or feel could be improved!

[@scottfisk3904]

You guys should look at the Dewalt 2100 Electric Pressure washer handle. It has some nice features such as nozzle storage on the handle.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

You're reading our minds haha

[@Jimmylee922]

Very compact gun! Will be buying one to try it out!

[@stephenlouden480]

Happy that you're committing to making your products better and competing with higher priced mfgs while still keeping the costs reasonable. you could easily charge triple the price but want to do the right thing, be an honest and humble mfg of reliable and high quality products the normal person can afford. I'm on my 3rd VE52 used for auto detailing and the last two lasted over 100 hours of use cleaning a few cars every day of the week. I can't believe they lasted so long .. and can't wait until I get the new 2.0 and your new gun when available. Keep improving and innovating. Youre on your way to becoming the go to brand for washers for the average person never mind detailer like me. One suggestion is to increase the price of your units a little but include a quality kink free 40 or 50 ft hose... 20 or 25 ft doesn't cut it. This change alone would sway thousands if not the majority of customers seeking an affordable unit to go straight to you and order because even those who never used a pressure washer in their life know that the factory hose is not only too short, but is poor quality. That would be a complete game changer and increase your profit margin a little too because we won't have to be forced to buy an aftermarket hose immediately after buying your washer. anyway thanks for a great product and Good luck.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thank you for this highly valuable comment and the continuous support for Active. We will keep in mind of your suggestions during our next improvements!

[@CFArmouredCrewman]

Trying to catch up on all these videos after seeing you on OG. Great job so far. One item that drives me nuts is when I have to lay the gun down on the ground typically concrete or pavement desperately trying to not scratch it all up. Some sort of solution maybe little nibs that stick out a bit further that would take the wear and tear as compared to the entire body of the gun might solve it.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Welcome to the Active community, these are great feedbacks and idea you're giving us. Thank you

[@tacoeatinmonkey]

I usually just set the gun on my hose.

[@pkt1213]

Thanks for the update. I have a VE52 that I enjoy but plan on getting a short gun and longer hose. Hopefully the new accessories will be available by the time I get around to actually buying something. Looking forward to what comes after the 2.0 as well as I don't think my VE52 will need replacing anytime soon (unless there is something new for a dedicated all mount).

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thanks! We definitely have a lot of cool stuff in the pipeline.

[@davidbram]

For me, the MTM SGS35 is the best short gun available. I currently have the VE52 and love it. Your service has been top notch and I look forward to seeing what you come to market with.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thanks for the kind words. We did benchmark the MTM and expect to do better.

[@wjkrug]

Wow this is amazing to see. Active is killing it

[@richardonyschak980]

you guys are killing me.. First off you need to get the new model 2.0 out before July and you need to have this gun be available at the same time.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

We are doing what we can from a production point of view. There’s another video coming out soon to address the production side specifically!

[@5abivt]

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Hey anwar, thank you for your support! Unfortunately the shortgun will not come with the 2.0. The 2.0 will come with the standard accessories.

[@wilfredgomez2632]

I was about to get the Mosmatic gun for my Actve ve52. I got a gun from Amazon but my hand gets tired bc of the unbalance it has. So I bent the original Active wandwand like 20 degrees and it works great, I don’t feel the pushing anymore. But sometimes I just need to be closer to the car and then is when I need only the gun. Thank you Active team. I look forward to get it.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Very creative solution! Be careful bending components as the gun is under pressure!

[@emp0rizzle]

No Suttner guns? Automatic fail.

Very interesting. We will check it out!

I jus purchased a higher quality snub nose gun. I thought this was already out, I certainly tried to find it. This option from Active would b at the top of my list. If there are options to personalize them..in some way..as crazy as that would be...it would be for real, hardcore enthusiasts

Awesome guys! So glad you made the out flow angle more normal, the Mosmatic nozzle angle is horrendous. One suggestion, trim the upper area, its a bit large and out of balance with the rest of the petite gun. Otherwise great work, cant wait to see how this goes!

Thanks for the comment. The design is quite balanced and minimal overall, hopefully it will look better to you in real life.

I need a new pressure washer and I ama really liking your products. Tell me why I should buy yours vs some other brands? Only thing i'll really be using it for is washing vehicles and maybe washing house siding.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

That’s a good question. I think the objective of these videos is to explicitly show what goes into the design and engineering of the product in the hopes that you’ll know what you’re getting and choose us. If you watch some of our other videos you’ll see that our units are engineered to provide what we’ve tested to have the ideal combination of pressure and flow. Ideal for car washing and most applications around the house. We would say it’s the best performance you’ll find in a non-commercial grade electric pressure washer. If you need anything more powerful you’ll need to step up to a gas powered unit. Let us know if you have any other questions.

[@TheSageSpeaksB4U]

This is good to know, James, I have had mixed feelings on the kind-of clunky, larger type. Your trimmed down gun looks more my type. I will wait for it. Make sure we can get an extension wand for reaching out over vans and standing-up for garage floors, etc. Thanks for working on all this, we like it. Oh yes, can the VE52 use a turbo tip? Jeff

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Thank you for your feedback! At the moment the gun is in development to be launched sometime in September. An Active extension wand and will be in the works soon to be available for 2023. All updates will be posted through this channel!

And yes, the VE52 can use a turbo tip - just make sure it’s sized correctly.

[@Ghost-lo6ij]

Will it be positive to have an all-aluminum gun? Aluminum Skeleton Gun give people a chance to anodize their gun to a color they want? It's makes sense to have 2 options = plastic and metal

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

The aluminum construction will be something unique and luxurious in terms of its material construction - not necessarily superior in terms of function (depending on what you value). It’s a design exercise as much as a practical one.

[@peterjohnson8631]

Go with the MTM sgs28 if that’s what u want

[@moisesperez3693]

James Casey your hair is disturbing. Embrace your hair loss man. We understand man

[@cue03]

Awesome! The mosmatic is overpriced (my opinion) and is believed to be produced by Suttner where you can get it at a much more affordable price. but without the "logo" on it. So will be interesting to see/use your newly designed gun against the Mosmatic, Suttner, MTM, even the cheaper guns like the MV925S etc.

[@ACTIVEPRODUCTS]

Overpriced is subjective as the Mossmatic is pretty much the best currently available and it is well made. There are lots of expensive and bespoke components within their gun. Regardless, we definitely benchmarked all the guns you mentioned!
