The Ultimate Karcher K4 Upgrade You Can't Live Without!

[@markconnolly802]

Absolutely buzzing. Just taken delivery of the grey Kobrajet hose and 3/8 mosmatic male plug. Set up is now 💯 quick release, with SGS35 gun and Mozmatic v2 Nozzle. It's not quite the full set up yet, but really is superb. Invest in the best!

[@YumCars]

Happy you are loving it Mark 😀 the hose is a special piece of kit!

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Finally an end to those terrible karcher hoses 👌

[@YumCars]

Thank you!

[@_.mustafaahmed22]

The excitement on your face said it all from the get go! Thanks for the video, I got a K4 as well this will make a good mod for me

[@YumCars]

Thanks Mustafa! It was a long project for me! This will compliment your K4 very well

[@tweez7817]

Am I missing something here? Direct Hoses do a flexi pipe of varying lengths that fits direct into the Karcher and stubby gun. What’s the deal with this setup that makes it so special? Agreed, the Karcher supplied hose is virtually unusable but an alternative solution has been available for yonks.

[@YumCars]

I think you possibly may have missed the point, we are taking about a completely different calibre of hose that does not compare to the cheap alternatives that you are referring to which tend to split and burst every 6/12 months. The fittings used on cheap hoses are not the same as found on the KobraJet, this is the best hose in the world and I have done incredible research to piece this together. Don't get me wrong, there are hoses out there for Karcher which I have mentioned in the video, but nobody has done a KobraJet conversion which would be new to anybody when you are dealing with new fittings.

[@steverabbits]

My feelings entirely. This smacks of someone trying to create a market for their own item, no probs with that but there are plenty of good solutions already in existence and I definitely don't agree that they are not good quality, mine from Direct Hoses has been perfect

[@YumCars]

Steve, yes plenty of good solutions out there but the KobraJet is the best, this hose has become world famous for a reason. I am not carving any market out for myself I am stating facts. Also regards your experience that’s great however you have to do a simple Google search just to see what I mean regards poor quality from many people in the UK. Thank you for watching.

[@steverabbits]

@@YumCars I will definitely investigate the KobraJet, I'd never heard of it until your video. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated 👍👍

[@davidmaskew]

​@@steverabbits The fact you haven't heard of this tells me it's probably not that big of a deal. You've already looked into upgrading your hose and bought the one you've said which I've looked into too and I haven't even opened my k4 yet 😂

[@Tommyontour_]

i wish i could have had this like two months ago i was soring upgrades for my K4 , i ended up getting the 20m hose form hoses direct and then the MTM gun and lance. your solution in the video is most preferential, quick connect is the way forward

[@YumCars]

There is always a next time Tommy 😀

[@taza2315]

Same thing happened to me 😩

[@NITEOWL22LR]

Is there a problem with the hose direct one as I was looking at it and thinking of buying it?

[@YumCars]

There is always a different level in quality. KobraJet hoses from the US are regarded as the best

[@NITEOWL22LR]

@@YumCars I heard of them but never heard of them being the best, on your website it says that the connections are 3/8" do they come in 1/4" as my stubby gun has a 1/4" quick release connection?

[@michaelbrett9976]

What a game changer nick excellent mate 👍👍👍

[@Flatpicknation]

Wich size and name of adapter going from the hose to the machine,i would like a link. I have an adapter so i use a Nilfisk ST-2300 handle now and all the pro lances. But would like to get rid of adapter and use a pro hose and handle directly into the hose with quickrelease. Just need the adapter to the pressure washer. Size and so on.

[@techreview291]

Great idea, direct hose make a hose that connects directly into the k series models then you just have the stubby gun attachment for the k series adapter

[@YumCars]

This is a completely different fitment method and certainly the first of its kind for the KobraJet in the UK and EU

[@steverabbits]

Exactly!

[@nath_tayl0rr]

Good video I’ve done the same setup in terms of c clip adapter to m22 hose 15mtrs, and a quick disconnect and short trigger, but could do with adding a swivel on the machine side I do occasionally get the hose looping up but I can still go around a vehicle no problem

[@kellysworld2850]

That hose 😍 Definitely need that in my life!

Hi Nick-I have a Karcher K5 Premium and am interested in buying the adapter that you featured in this video that allows me to be rid of the standard Karcher hose. How can I purchase that. I am in the US. Thanks!! The

[@sinugbang-ice8603]

Love the vid man, can I ask what's the name of the brass fitting?

[@RomboutVersluijs]

So how about all that water which stays in the hose when your done. I'm not even sure how that works on a normal K4 setup. Seeing that connector at the machine side. That doesn't look like a part you want disconnect each time. Yet when done there is s water in the hose?

[@YumCars]

You can take it off after every use that is not a problem. Also having water in the hose after use is fine, it is the same on the original hose

[@Thecardetailingnut]

Looks like have to spend more money Nick , but as we all know your products are second to none , 20M for my Karcher K7 please

[@YumCars]

Thank you Woody! K7 will be the best machines for these hoses

[@carlostheimer6505]

Nick any movement on my Ava p80 this one is a real pain pal

[@YumCars]

Ava is coming Carl!

[@mBaggins]

Could this be made even better by buying the quick release option of the hose and then attaching one of the quick release ends that you get in a short lance kit for example onto the connection, so that you can use a quick release to disconnect the hose from machine (the brass part at 12:52 in the video) when you're done rather than pulling the metal pin out as I'm sure that will get lost after a while

[@YumCars]

In the future yes, that is something that can be done

[@troyabrady00]

Any luck finding a quick release 'female to female' adapter as you've suggested?

[@tonylawlor8833]

Move you car nearer your water outlet and Karcher machine, job done.

[@YumCars]

And still use a garbage hose that is horrific? Job definitely not done!

[@samuelluoma6870]

👍 great solution! Those karcher hoses are not good.

[@indetailcarcaresolutions3770]

Brilliant! I have been using Karchers on and off for years and kept getting rid of them due to the stupid proprietary fittings. I run a K2 as it is less then half the weight of my Ryobi when it want to go mobile. Karcher is as popular in Australia as the UK so I’ll be buying up a few and selling/giving to friends and family. One thing, with 5-8 minutes of info, why take over 20 minutes to disseminate the information?!

[@YumCars]

I love to tell a story many times because it was a struggle for me to figure out and source, plus it is interesting for people 😀

[@suciuovidiu8478]

This solution also applies if you have a K3 ? Thank you very much for this video and for your time !

[@YumCars]

of course but here is a tip. this hose get better with a better machine. if you go too far away with a K3 you will notice a drop in flow and pressure

[@suciuovidiu8478]

I have the k4 and need this upgrade in terms of hose and gun can you supply these upgrades.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Will it still fit through that pass though hole, looked like it did not. All those adapters together seem to blocking that pass through now

[@YumCars]

Everything fits perfect, nothing is getting blocked. It is an original connection, so fitment is nice and tight

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@YumCars thanks! It looked to extend very long and thus could not loop back through that hole again. Thanks for the reply

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Also wonder how much more stress this puts on the pump. Going from a 6m to a 30m hose, the engine needs to pump much more massa through the hose. Do you have any info on that part?

[@YumCars]

Once the hose is pressurised it is under the same strain as stock hose

[@marinusdekker6707]

wow that's an upgrade. That's why I never bought a high-pressure cleaner, because I found that with all those devices the high-pressure hose was too stiff, and you could especially see that in the recoil of the hose. and therefore always used the garden hose and the 2 bucket method.

With the right tools and accessories anything can become super pleasurable! Hopefully this will help you
