IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips

Күн бұрын

Leaf Blowers are an amazing way to dry your car or clean up around your home. But this small upgrade will drastically improve your user experience. Changing out the long nozzle attachment to a short stubby nozzle allows you have to have more more control and give you a more balanced feel. In todays video I will highlight the nozzle I have been using and compare it to the new version specifically made for the Ego Blower. But dont worry, no matter what brand of blower you are using, you can find a stubby nozzle version to make your blowing efforts much easier... ENJOY!!!

The ego attachment here is the no brainer pick here, price plus ease of removing.

@4.1.8 2 ай бұрын

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't $70 for what is essentially a plastic cylinder too much? I feel like detailing oriented products are becoming too expensive. What's going on? I understand that the price can be justified because it's a niche, but there comes a point where it feels like I'm being ripped off. I seriously don't understand how a plastic cylinder can cost more than $10 to make.

@Kurial94 2 ай бұрын

Yep it’s certainly expensive for a 3D printed and simple designed product

You are absolutely right and you are being ripped off:)

@emp0rizzle 2 ай бұрын

@@Kurial94 haha that's not 3D printed. That's clearly injection molded plastic. EGO has the resources to design their own stubby attachment in-house and the economies of scale to produce it at a fraction of the cost.

@emp0rizzle 2 ай бұрын

It cost money to design and make parts. Someone paid an engineer/designer to design the attachment. Someone paid to make an injection mold for the part. Injection molding is very expensive. And since it's a small company catering to a niche and it doesn't seem like they make anything else, it's a low volume. Ego can produce the same part at a fraction of the price because 1) it has economies of scale and in-house engineers 2) they're billion dollar company or rather part of a company that has a market cap of 1B+

@MikeGDetailing 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Josh. I have both as well and like you left the stubby nozzle co one on there as it is not the easiest to remove but it works well leaving it on. The Ego version is also nice. It looks good even adding a blower band onto it as well even though it is not needed. Like you showcased it is easy to remove that one if needed.

I love the Ego brand stubby nozzle! Paired with a 2.5 Ah battery it's the perfect weight and balance. I'm just not a fan of the 3D printed look of the Stubby brand nozzle.

I was an early adopter of the ApexAire because I was fed up that EGO were late to the party. However, after many washes the second attachment took off on me and hit the roof of my car a few weeks ago. Let me just say I will be ordering the EGO one very soon because I believe it is shorter too!

@douglasreigler525 2 ай бұрын

I have used the short tube that the ego gutter cleaning kit has in it. It is about 9 5/8 long . It seems just a tad narrower on the end but maybe it is just thinner. I wish it had the rubbery end on it when using it on the car.

The stubble nozzle co is made out of PETG and they are 3d printed. The one from Ego not too sure. Either option looks great to me, the one from obsessed is rather expensive.

Great video Josh! Get the Ego stubby add the band and call it a day. Fits the best, it’s made by the same company making the blower and it’s priced appropriately, no brainer! I was an early adopter for the Apexaire and it’s a joke, I use it as an expensive paperweight.

@jonnathanmarcellus4456 2 ай бұрын

Tab on the new stubby is so you can add other EGO attachments. Basically you can have it short or add a piece that came with your blower and make it the same length as the Apex Air. Or have a shorty leaf blower.

@DimensionMachine Ай бұрын

I am not positive... So don't roast me but on the ego I believe the thin metal strip embedded in the blowers housing that you thought might be for alignment is actually a static wick or drain so that you don't get the dog piss knocked out of you every time you use it. There is enough air moving thru that thing to create lightning!

When are you going to make a video about the ecoBooster? (It has only been available for a few weeks.) This thing is an absolute revolution in high-pressure cleaning! It delivers much more power, even for older devices, is much quieter, has less recoil, and is much more comfortable to use. The jet is much more homogeneous, allowing for the cleaning of delicate surfaces. Thanks to the wider and stronger jet, you can finish cleaning much faster.

Thanks for the video Josh. I purchased the highly-overpriced Apexaire model a couple years ago because to my knowledge there wasn't another alternative to it. Seeing all the lower-priced similar items afterwards made me wish I had waited.

@russellmaynard6948 Ай бұрын

Is there not an additional attachment to restrict the diameter of the stubby tool further for precision work? It seems suboptimal to have to have another whole smaller leaf blower in your workflow for that task as opposed to just adding the equivalent of a crevice tool attachment for the Ego blower.

@HEMi1995 2 ай бұрын

I’m actually not a fan of the stubby nozzles. Doesn’t focus the air enough in one area so you have to hold the blower really close to whatever you’re blowing out. It spreads out the air too much and feels really underpowered vs a more “pointy” outlet.

@imjoshv 2 ай бұрын

Yea the tlsmaller the opening definitely helps to focus the air flow.z I use these for removing the bulk of water and then a smaller unit with a narrower opening to remove all the water from the tight spots

I really enjoy your informative videos, Josh!!! I respect that you use the EGO brand blower, but after watching the Stuuby video, I went with the Greenworks. It's just me at home, so hopefully, I don't have any issues. If I do, I got it from Costco, so it'll be returnable. After watching this, I'll definitely get the stubby nozzle. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opN6hrt9npeviqc.htmlsi=-uV6rO_0h3SG82uQ Just make sure Stubby nozzle is for the actual model blower you have - I know it sounds silly but each brand model is a little different.
