I would dip the tip in about a 1/4'' of liquid rubber to protect from scratching paint. Great job on your mod.

Absolute genius......I just bought the 765 and it’s a great machine . Was looking at the options out there for smaller nozzles and all of them would cost in the 100 dollar CDN range. The hundred bucks is not the issue it’s that those options are crap. The obsessed garage one is a clunky clumsy stupid design that looks awful. The stubby nozzle co. one looks great but is just thin plastic with no positive locking mechanism like the oem. I would not trust that around my C8. They say it won’t fly off like a North Korean nuke...so let them use it on their own dam cars. Then I saw your video ...... brilliant ! I actually cut 1/2 inch off both ends just to get a larger mating surface and on the 765 you don’t need to cut that small reducing ring as the end cut almost fits in the base cut , some sanding of the pieces and a good clean up took care of that for a vert snug fit . I used 30 minute epoxy and now i have an end result that is just like it was made by EGO specifically for that machine . Beautiful mechanical locking of all the parts and looks like it was bought that way . And it didn’t cost me a dime or having to wait a week or more for the order to come in. Thank you shop tool reviews for making this fantastic video .

PLEASE start selling this STUBBY attachment for all of us who are not as handy as you!!!

Just did this! . Works perfectly! didn't use the epoxy though, just 4 rivets. Thanks for the video!

I swear if they made it the way you did without a doubt I'd buy

I did this on my e go 650cfm, work's great, thanks, I don't have to use so many microfiber towels anymore.

great job

This is awesome!

Another idea for you from over the pond (UK). I have ordered the gutter cleaning set AGC1000 (£40) and will use the first part and attach it to the machine. Looks similar but without the option of attaching the tips. For those like me - pen pushers who can't quite cut in a straight line...

Thanks, great how-to. If I can get an extra tube for my 650 I'll do this.

Great video great idea

Great idea!! I'm gonna find out if I can get a spare nozzle.

Well done!!

Awesome, I’m about to pick one up and will buy an extra snout to modify.

Now that’s cool!!!

This is awesome. I need to buy another blower tube to modify it for car detailing.

A tip for keeping the glue off of the tube is to put masking tape around the tubes before you apply the epoxy.

Good advice there at 2:55. You definitely don’t want to just whack it off. 😂

Now that’s some … mighty fine country fried engineering …

Smart! I need to do this. Thanks!

You da man!

I need this for drying my car

I so need this!!!!

Isn't the ridge inside on the cone now disrupting the airflow? You could either fill that in with epoxy to make it a smooth internal surface, or 3D print the entire cone to replace it. I've seen several other EGO users having the stubby cone printed.

I used a Dremel to cut my tube and it was close enough for government work. Had to do some grinding/sanding of the little ring to get it to fit. Used some epoxy I had lying around; works as good as any

You can easily make additional noses from a sheet of 1 mm Lexan. Is done in 5 minutes and you keep the original nose intact. With hot air you can form an oval tip as well.

Genius

Nice mod, but you need to sell them. 🙏🏻😉

Great hack planning buy new 765 CFM is only about $40.00 may I asked what brand of 2 stage epoxy did you used

Im sure it still has enough power but you should smooth all those internal shoulders. That will cause a lot of turbulence and rob power.

Do you think there’s a power difference with doing this vs just buying the gutter attachment and using that instead?

Can you please do a video blowing the water off a car using the two different tips (round vs rectangular) and let us know which one works better?

That is what I was looking for :) did you see any loss of power between the short tube and the full original one ? Thank you !

Great video! What was the epoxy that you used?

That’s good advice there. Don’t just whack it off.

Could this be done to the 530 thanks

Will you please post the parts number of the epoxy and a link where to buy them. Thank

Ingenious. Does it dry the car any faster?

Great idea!!!! What kind of epoxy is that?

Brilliant. Please quote to make me one and ship to Australia. 😀

Would love to see you take this to the next level and make it possible to hook a hose to it. Would love to mount it on my wall and just have a small hose to walk around the car with!

Does blower drying work for uncoated cars? Or just use a towel to be faster?

Just ordered the 650. I wish they would sell that “stubby” that would be great blowing water off my car…

Can you epoxy me a bag so I can pickup and mulch?

Just got my 650 and would love to do this but don’t want to cut up the original. Wish they sold replacements

Can you guys just sell this shorter tip please lol I could really use this

Can I actually order it from you? Lol

There just to damn heavy

Sell me one! ☝️

I don’t know anything I want to take 11” out of. But that’s just me. 😑✌️

Or not use any attachment at all

Not sure who your detailer is but should let the detailer know about the bigboi blower or masterblaster. Both tools are made specifically for automotive detailing. Tell ‘em to leave the lawn care tools for when it’s time to do yard work.
