IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips

Күн бұрын

Ive been a fan of the McKillans Pressure Washer Gun for a long time. It offers a lot of features at a good price point. BUT, They have just released the NEW McKillans Swivel Gun Pro. In todays video I highlight its design, what it comes with, and let you know if I think its worth the higher price tag. This is a fresh design that features a built in nozzle holder so you never have to search for your nozzles again... ENJOY!!!

Loved the video! Yes, the current launch is for the super early birds that helped design the gun with us. Once we get more inventory it'll be available to everyone, but you can join the waitlist in the meanwhile for a discount. The internals are stainless steel and nickel-coated brass. Appreciate the honest review as always!

@paulbadenhop7272 Ай бұрын

Why a plastic pivot point? A stainless dowel insert could have been easily integrated.

@mckillans Ай бұрын

@@paulbadenhop7272 In V1 and V2 it was a stainless dowel but there was too much lateral play in the trigger which would require modifying the metal internals in a way which would cause interference with the plastic. The trigger has flat ears on the side with minimal clearance on the body which further support it from this lateral play. In order for reliability, and an amazing trigger feeling we went with this design.

People are really butthurt about a $100 gun but have never tried a high quality pressure washer gun. My mtm sg28 has held up for over 6 years. Plus they offer $20 rebuild kits so that over time when something internal breaks or wears you can replace it for $20. The material is much thicker than these thin handle Chinese made ones and the trigger is easily pulled.

@Enthusiast_detailing Ай бұрын

Seems like a really cool gun! My favorite is the sgs28 I’ve tried a bunch of guns and I keep coming back to it

I just checked the Mckillians channel and they show this gun & holder holding 2 standard nozzles, not the ones with the rubber guard… That sort of confirms 2 things: That the holder won’t hold 2 nozzles w/guards and also that the nozzle guards are an unnecessary gimmick, because if they were actually useful they themselves would be using them, especially considering they sell and advertise them so heavily.

I feel you guys marketing for these companies would receive tons of BACKLASH and would result in people reporting the account and having it removed… for everyone’s false advertising needs….
