    all foam cannons equal?

    looking at foam cannons to use with my old karcher pressure washer. I see China made ones for $25 on ebay to name brand ones for over $100.
    Is there really a difference in them?
    Thanks for your input. Drew

    Depends, I suspect the $25 gun from China is made up of mostly plastic. If they are using stainless or brass, it may be worth trying.

    It's hard to compare one on ebay to one you can touch, feel, and tell what the differences may be.
    Mechanically, there's just not much to them.

    only the quality is different.
    I'm a pro so my stuff needs to work and work well for a long time.

    Try the cheep one and maybe it will work for you.

    Re: all foam cannons equal?

    I got a cheap one ($40, maybe less than that) from amazon and it works fine. I couldn't see spending $100 bucks on one, as I don't really use it all that much.

    I got one off Amazon for $40 and I enjoy it. Still tweaking it's sweet spot and soap to water ratios.
