Looks nice even if it's junk.
Do distance test (45 degree up is best).
Would like to know how tight it holds its pattern

I had to track down a hydraulic fitting to fit those threads on that thing. Hooked it up and my battery is dead on my washer lol forgot to charge it, grrrrrr. But the stream goes around 20 feet just with the water on so that's a good thing I guess. Have to let it charge over night while we're at the hospital.

Wow that's for a pressure washer?
Better be a low pressure machine or you may sprain or break your wrist from the kickback, better off with a wand if that's your intention of use.
How many psi is it rated for ?

I would be real interested in seeing how that gun works.does it have an adjustable pattern? Also how many gallons per minute is it rated for?
Would you mind sharing the link where you got it? If using it on a pressure washer, just remember if it patterns out with a non-fan stream (basically a red tip ), that can be real dangerous to use without a lance.

My 2 cents worth That locking on trigger is very dangerous. If you drop the gun or mis aim it when you are trying to release that handle, somebody gets hurt.
As an employer, "ain't no way that will be on our truck!"
Honestly, you folks are growing a true hands on family business and that type of spray gun will get you hurt.
Your humility is to be applauded, as getting input from the seasoned professionals can literally save your life and make you money. Posting the video allows them to help you make an informed choice.
If you have an industrial heavy duty pressure washer, please use high quality spray guns. They really do not cost that much, but you get to come home with all your fingers at the end of the day.
Any gun that does not automatically shut off, when dropped would be a missile on the end of a high pressure hose.
Just this week, we had two absolutely preventable operator errors with a pressure washer and both could very easily have killed one of us... Unbeknownst to me at the time, I was only six feet away from a open pressure washer wand when it was powered up. Fortunately I only have to turn in a claim on a very large damaged sliding glass door system-- My wife is not making funeral arrangements
Respect all that power and it will serve you well.

Personally I would smash it with a hammer so no one gets a hold of it.

I was wondering how that going to work on the end of a booster pump???? The adjustable tip might be nice. But as far as pressure washers… I agree with the other guys... don't use it. That is the kind of gun that will wind up making you get very painful stitches...The kind where the doctor has to press the water out of your arm before they sew you up!!!!!!!
One of the reason OSHA requires certain length lances (wands) if so that if you drop, or miss fire a pressure gun, you're not hurting your self with a laser beam of water.

That being said, I still ordered one today to see how it is going to work for the booster pump.

Here are the triggers I've been using,.they seem to be holding up very well so far. Add quick 1/4" connect to the outlet and 3/8" the inlet.
Also,.to the new guys,..put a high pressure ball valve on the end of your pressure hose,..one of the most useful things you'll have,..even aside from being able to hook and unhook wand to surface cleaner,...it is also an awesome rinsing tool,..especially on flat work.
Ray I was thinking the same thing as far as the booster pump goes.
Time will tell

That question can be somewhat hard to answer. Every one of us have bought and tried many different things until we find what is "right" for us. Some of us enjoy building our set ups while others purchase ready made. Hank has a collection of so many self built systems and he takes from those as to his needs. I pretty much did the same thing. Take a look at the section here where people have posted their rigs. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. We have made the mistakes even trying our best to follow those ahead of us. You have gotten some great advice in many of your posts. Go through everything you can find and "read until your eyes bleed".
Get two "J" rods, in one put a #30 brass shooter tip followed by a 3015, 3025, 3040. The second one #40 shooter, 4015, 4025, 4040. That will give you something to start with and figure out what works best for you and your machine. Those J rods will work well for both systems, 12v and PW.
Others will have more tips/ideas.

Also give Guy Blackmons "original shooter tip" a try. I understand people regularly get 35 to 40 feet with that tip. I don't downstream, so have never personally tried it myself but hear great reviews.

And a pic of all the specs I have.
One more.
8m = 26'
60c = 140 F
Twenty-six feet isn't bad especially for the price.
Heres a link to the gun.
