As one suffering from both arthritis and neuropathy I bought the Ridge Washer with the trigger lock and it's been great so far. Thank you for reviewing all of these, great job!

Just starting my detailing journey and getting all of my supplies and everything. This is very helpful. I hope you see this comment. I’m having the hardest time picking an all around soap for basic car washing. Don’t want a crap product but also don’t want the most expensive. Want something decently priced that foams and cleans well. 110% trust your opinions.

[@imjoshv]

I really like the Koch chemie line of soaps, they are a little prices but highly dilutable and work really well! If you go with active foam its a 9.5 ph so you get a bit more cleaning power and it’s smells fantastic! All of my customers always comment on it. But if you’re just starting out even something like meguiars gold class will do well for you! And it’s cheap and available everywhere

[@Cle3]

Ridge washer with locking trigger has been a big help! Thank you Josh!

[@KRISIS1451]

I didn't find the lock-on for the ridge washer handy when you're rinsing your car but it is extremely handy when you want to use it to fill your buckets and do something else while they're filling.

[@codytaylor4351]

I bought the ridge washer specifically for that locking trigger! just used it today when it arrived on my excessively muddy Excursion and It was a very welcomed addition from my cheapy short handle that leaked.

[@Ashhong1]

Bought that ridge washer with the lock literally a couple weeks before this video. Where were you when I needed you?! Good thing I picked a decent option

[@user-wk8gg2uj8b]

I also went with the blue essential washer just because of the blue color to match my Uber flex hose that you also recommended. Great video thanks again

[@willdamian1066]

I found this other one called AR annovi mv925. love it I’ve had it for over 4 years. No leaks and can handle plenty. Just had to buy all the proper fittings for it and it’s made in Italy

I have that ridge washer gun with that slide lock . Its a game changer also man. Might not seem like it but it definitely helps you not have any fatigue on your hands😊

[@FrankFazio56]

Thank you for doing these comparison videos. I just bought the 8gpm Yamatic, and its great that you showed us the internals. Interesting triggering mechanism. Had I seem your video first, i might have gone with the Ridge. The trigger pull was a great test, but it might be interesting to see pressure performance tests for these guns and maybe visit long term use reliability comparison. I hope my Yamatic holds up for a while.

[@chelsabailey1018]

Thank you for the informative and thorough review of the pressure washer wands! Fantastic info!!!

[@WEZ4136]

Something to mention with the lower GPM guns is that some pressure washers like Karcher in the UK will suffer from over pressure pulsing if the gun can’t handle the pressure that the machine can push out, seems like nothing to worry about but this can reduce the life of the machine

[@DarEyezKnight]

I have no complaints about the wand which not an swivel but i do use quick connection has smooth swivel n blows my mind.

[@evilfingersNo1]

Just ordered the Ridge Washer with Trigger Lock, total checkout $38.01 P.S. Thanks Josh for the reviews and the links.

[@imjoshv]

you bet!

[@FlipFlopPilot]

I just bought the new Harbor Freight stubbly wand and it is identical to the red Ridge in your video. Built in swivel, comes with SS adaptors if you need them and has the trigger lock. It is currently $24.99 and HF. Oh, and it’s blue to match the Uber flex hose. 😊

[@hollowpoint1057]

The pivot point matters when measuring trigger pull. Try measuring from the very bottom of the trigger for consistency next time.

[@rpurdum]

Great in-depth review. Thanks for your effort!

[@michaellaguitan8125]

Hi Josh. Great reviews on the different guns. I didn’t see the link for the Fixfans gun. I like the internals of that one and the price point. If you do have the link, would you mind sharing it? Thanks again for the detailed reviews.

[@Kadybear8]

Link for the Fixfans gun please.

[@jinxtacy]

@12:36 That mechanism is "Relax-Action" and is supposedly a Suttner exclusive. Marketing states "German Engineered Technology reduces trigger pulling force by 40% and holding force up to 90% compared to usual competitors spray gun... designed for operators and applications with longer periods of cleaning time."

[@emp0rizzle]

Basically the OG is a Suttner 2605 with a Mosmatic DGVI swivel w/ integrated 3/8 plug. I made my own for under $100 with a KEW connector

[@michigangreen1915]

I thought they were all linked in the description? You talked up the fixfans gun but no link.

[@Kadybear8]

[@Arfur_Foulkesaycke]

I use a cable tie for a trigger lock, can't understand why this isn't a standard feature 🤷

[@cyphre]

Actually surprised the trigger lock wasn't already a standard feature. Seems obvious, since most handheld garden hose attachments have some sort of trigger lock.

[@emp0rizzle]

It's for safety and legal reason. garden hoses can't cut into your skin.

[@bwilliam4023]

i would say Lvtian G19 is the best budget in the current market. for under $30 you get 304 stainless steel body, inline swirl, self-lock quick connector.

[@h0m3land]

Next do foam cannon. The Amazon basic which is your budget recommendation seems to be never in stock

[@TheLightningSt0rm]

Power Town one is great. It’s $15-20 and greats super thick foam. It looks like the CG one that’s $100 but a clear top instead of yellow

For me it was either the 8 gpm Yasmatic or the FixFans. Will you please include the link for the FixFans? I have found their website via their other products listed on Amazon, but can’t find this gun anywhere on the site. You can find all their other wands, hoses, etc., but not this short gun. There is no way to contact them in order to ask. How did you get it? Please help.

[@eosjoe565]

I had the same results. I'm thinking maybe it is no longer available.

[@baklash1762]

@@eosjoe565 I believe you are right, so I took a chance with the 8gpm Yasmatic. I tested it out twice, without washing the cars. I just hooked everything up and sprayed water on cars and driveway. Then later did it again. The swivel worked well, not really very loose, but adequate. It is certainly better than the swivel I added to my old gun. AND it did not leak at all. Soon as I get back in town I will give it a good workout foaming and washing the two cars. But so far, so good.

[@bsm1th99]

I used the DUSICHIN one and yes, it gets the job done, but it's very cheaply made as my handle just broke sadly. I got 3 years out of it, but, it sat for a long time without use, so depending how much you use it, you might get a few years out of it.

[@Munky332]

How would you compare the Ridge Washer gun (right now 32$) to the McKillans (60$)

Heu Josh, do you know what size ball bearing you need for the Ridge to convert it like the OG spec mosmatic ( stop in the middle)? Thanks for your video!!!

[@mohamedsayani2414]

So i have 2 options.. ridge washer or the essential washer with SS fittings. Which one should i go with? For me in UAE, its like 40 usd vs 55 usd for the two products.

Josh i have searched through your videos and i was wanting to get a UBERFLEX 1/4" x 50' hose to work with a RIDGE WASHER Pressure Washer Gun 5000 PSI with a 3/8'' inlet Quick Connect. What quick connecters would i need to go from 3/8 inlet to 1/4 inch hose so that it's all quick connect ?

[@imjoshv]

the uberflex is 1/4 hose but the connectors are a standard m22x14 so this is all you need - amzn.to/3K5cG5u or you can get a full kit like this one - amzn.to/3pVHi2B

The mosmatic stop is not a ball bearing. It's a pin with convex tip.

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

So the muturq is the easiest to pull of all the guns you’ve tested so far? I’m going for that one I had the yamatic before and my hand got tired after washing my driveway. Before that I had an sgs28 I never felt tired on that one

[@imjoshv]

yea shockingly. The sgs28 is known for being the easy pull option! And honestly if its not under pressure it still feels like the easiest. But from the test the muturq did get better numbers

[@austinlouviere9838]

I ordered a muturq after watching this video. It came in yesterday. I like it so far. Swivel does have alot of slack but i guess time will tell. Id like to find the parts to add the spring loaded assist like the mosmatic if possible. I tried researching it with no luck so far

If you buy the middle MTM trigger, you will not regret it.

[@mlhm5]

IMO, if you are going to house/roof wash then residential houses all you need is a cheap battery operated softflow system (pump, hose, propoitioner to begin with. As you get into larger structures or commercial then it is time to move to an air diaphragm pump and an air compressor or a gas soft wash pump like the AR45 Soft Wash Pump + a Honda engine. The only gun to use with these systems is the General Pump YG1635SR. You are not going to get much distance with a 5.5 gpm 12v softwash pump and you will probably go thru 2-3 a season. You will need two 12v batteries plus a proportioner for soft wash. This is a market filled with competitors and entry is very easy and cheap. I would specialize in flat concrete service stations, dumpster pads, bank drive through, fast food drive through and any other place where it gets really greasy oily. You need a hot water high gpm machine and a surface cleaner. Now you are not competing in the house/roof/driveway softwash market which is really overcrowded.
