    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    This was just dropped off and I’m already having second thoughts



    I knew it would be heavier than my 1/4” Uber Flex and it is substantially heavier

    It is also VERY stiff, and our super cold tap water isn’t going to make it any better

    I’m not sure if I should even try it or just send it back

    Maybe with the built in swivel at the PE end and the new swivel at the gun it will be ok

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    I got the Mosmatic swivel to add to my SG28 as well

    If you're looking for something lighter adams has a 1/4" with a swivel on one end. It is steel braided though so not as flexible as uberflex's patented design. Currently out of stock though

    Adam's Pressure Washer Super Flex Hose

    I have been waiting and hoping their 60' hose would be in stock but so far nothing

    40' would work but like you say, backordered as well

    I really wanted the 3/8" NPT fittings with a swivel at one end

    I might go with a 50' Uber/Flexzilla and get an accessory swivel set for the PW end

    This ones not marked, unless the marking is underneath the rubber guard, but that would be pretty stupid. It does have 2 markings on it.

    Essential Washer:



    Made in China:



    Probably made of that cheap 316 Stainless Steel just like MTM, because I’ve only used it a handful of times and like the MTM it’s already starting to rust. They should’ve used 304 Stainless and it wouldn’t have this problem. Don’t waste your money.



    None of the other nozzles I have show any hint of rust and I’ve used these alot more than that Essential Washer nozzle with the rubber.

    The idea is to maximize flow while keeping as much pressure as possible. Your ryobi unit would probably flow about just as much with a 3.0 nozzle and provide much more desirable psi.

    How do you figure I lost too much pressure if they feel exactly the same when I spray it on my hand? I’ll do a test to see if they’re any different at knocking over a spray bottle from the same distance.

    I could be wrong because I had the video on in the background while I was busy doing something else at the time… But I think I heard Matt from Obsessed Garage come to the conclusion in 1 of his videos about spray nozzles that “it makes no freaking difference” in a somewhat frustrating laughter. I’m pretty sure that’s what he said and it made me nod in agreement if he really did come to that conclusion.

    They are color coded, just nothing stamped anywhere to help me know the orifice size so I have a starting point if I choose to experiment with different sizes to change pressure, flow, etc

    I don't necessarily feel like I need to change anything but a guy has to tinker, ya know?

    You could always be that guy and call the Greenworks CS line and ask… I’m sure they’ve got nothing doing, why not give em something to do for once? Lol.

    The other ones I have are marked 2.5 orifice. The 2 that came with the Ryobi are also marked. I believe the Ryobi nozzles are 1.7 orifice.

    I think I heard Matt from Obsessed Garage
    If you had hard him talk about the shelves in his garage, you would know that 316 is more corrosion-resistant than 304.

    With all due respect, he ain’t nobody. Lol

    I worked for an aluminum company for 6yrs. We specialized in 304#4 stainless. I’ll stand by 304.

    Btw this is what Dana Detailing MTM nozzle looked like the other day. This is 316 stainless steel.
