I tired it that way when I first got the blower/vac and struggled to get the cloth back over the plastic tube. I'll try removing the sock from the tube again the next time I use the vacuum.

Awesome to hear the DIY tools are saving you time and effort!

You are correct, I misspoke when I said 19mm, I went back and checked my order and it is a 18mm washer.

Mine will bark the tires on the driveway when hitting reverse after the procedures. :)

Couldn't agree more!

Thank you!

Have you ever auditioned a pair of new speakers and immediately knew that you would probably be returning them? That's how I felt about the R700s. I positioned them face to face a few inches apart, wired one out of phase and left them playing fairly loud to break them in. Re-auditioning them a week later I knew they were going back and I didn't make any effort to peel off the plastic. I am glad to learn that it's just protection and not part of the logo. I next auditioned a pair of KEF LS50s on loan from a friend with a REL subwoofer. Although I preferred them over the R700, I again thought my old handmade speakers sounded better. I did keep a pair of Martin Logan electrostatic speakers for over a month and came very close to keeping them, but even though they excel in many areas, they fall short in other areas. Back they went. In the end, upgrading my 27-year-old components to use with my old speakers gave the best results by far.

The original tires were 27.5" x 2.5" the Schwalbe tires are 27.5" x 2.35".

Thanks for letting me know the video was helpful!

I think there may be some residual film from some soap, cleaner, or protectant keeping the glue from sticking. Or there could even be a 'non-stick' coating on the stainless steel. I'd recommend throughly cleaning the surface with something like dawn dishwashing soap, simple green, 409, etc. then cleaning with alcohol and trying again. You might also find good tips on the dent puller manufacturer's web site. Please let us know if you have any luck.

We've never used the steam feature so I'll have to give it a try and get back to you. I can tell you that my wife loves them and we have no regrets getting this set.

I encourage everyone to make a how to video at least once. It's not as easy as you might think. No matter how specific and detailed you are, someone will complain about something. If you will look in the description below the video you will see a list of the tools needed.

I held the PVC pipe up to the top of the PGP sprinkler and made marks on the pipe where the notches needed to be with a sharpie. I then put the pipe in a vice and cut notches with a hacksaw, but now that I have an angle grinder I would use that with a cut-off wheel.

Awesome, hope you like them as much as we have enjoyed ours!

Are you having trouble with connecting your garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer or is it the high-pressure hose that connects the spray wand that you're having trouble with. The high-pressure hose has a black rubber O-ring on each end that is a really snug fit, try lubricating it with a dab of dish soap and then wiggling the fitting when you push it into the wand/pressure washer. If it's the garden hose you are having trouble with make sure the male end of the garden hose hasn't been run over and deformed.

The Hunter PGP spray head fits the body perfectly, but it needs to be lengthened so you have something to grab on to. I was scrounging around for something plastic so I could use PVC pipe cement to quickly bond the two together and discovered an old RainBird housing was just the right size. Honestly, anything would do. Maybe you can find a PVC pipe or pipe fitting that is a good fit. You could also expand your search beyond plastic, a large wooden dowel could be glued to an old PGP spray head with two-part epoxy or even a bit of metal pipe. Anything that makes the gutted spray head longer will do.

I'm using a Husqvarna 128LD string trimmer, it's rated at 1hp. I wouldn't recommend any less than 1hp since it takes more power to run the hedge trimmer attachment than it does to operate the standard string trimmer attachment. If I were shopping for a string trimmer today I would probably buy the commercial duty Husqvarna 525LK with about 30% more power than my current trimmer. Any string trimmer with 1hp or more and the ability to use different attachments should do just fine.

@@Koolbob2 thank you. I will buy one set like you. I am having the weed problem too. Headache but your post help me to solve the problem. 🙏

I hope you guys are as happy with the new machines as we are with ours. Yes, the remain time is displayed and the time remaining can be seen in the app and you can set the app to give you a notification when a load is done.

@Koolbob2 Wow! I'm so excited. Thank you so much for the reply

Our irrigation system is about 20-years old now and I just replaced another PGP head using my tools a couple of days ago. I usually end up replacing a few each season and I've pretty much perfected my technique and can replace and raise a sprinkler head using only my two tools, the adjusting tool that comes with the head and a small hand spade in only a few minutes. I still can't believe Hunter Industries wasn't interested in my tools, but I'm always happy to hear they have helped a fellow home owner.
