Jim,

Please tell us more about them.

We have been testing for many years how to get a well defined water pattern for soaping and rinsing from the ground. We manufacture them here in our shop in the USA. Polish the inside orifice and the two in length of the tip holds a strong pattern. Awesome! Just screw into your QC plug or Tip Ninja and stay off those ladders.

I'm going to give them a try. I'll give you a call in the morning Jim.

www.pressuretek.com/1fpthastpl1.html / @ $1.22 Each steel plug 1/4"
www.pressuretek.com/0dessno.html @ $4.22 Each zero degree nozzle 1/4"

These 2 items assembled will give you the same results for less than $6

Eric Schnaible · Approved Exterior Cleaner

That's what I was thinking. Am I missing something?

Fred W · Guru

Kinda why I was asking for a video of them in action. Maybe the length of the barrel has something to do with it?
Sometimes a simple change makes things work better.....

Soap shooters are not precision devices. It may shoot better but the difference is immeasurable. You could even use something as simple as a barbed fitting for $.90 cents. (you'll still need the 1/4" steel plug for $1.22.) So there you have it. I made it better for under $3

The longer barrel allows them to shoot further. I ordered some and we tried them out yesterday and compared them to the normal 0060 that can you can get from any vendor. Jim's shoot about 5-6 further and seem to hold a nice tight pattern. We cleaned a 3 story town home building yesterday, with dormers on the top and were able to hit the dormers from the ground. We did use an extension wand. But when using the 0060 we could not reach. Same equipment, same conditions, and again we noticed a difference.

I actually ordered 3 of each of the 8gpm and 10gpm, spent about 100$. I did this simply I cause I trust Jim. Knowing he is a contractor and knowing him as I do, (haven't personally met him but have followed him for years on the BBS) I knew he had probably done all the testing and side by sides already anyway.

Yes very happy, as we my guys that they didn't have to get on that roof to clean the dormers.

Funny story, we actually had a guy from next door that is a labor helper on a another townhouse project going up, he came over and asked me "where you get that nozzle and wand" we were using, says he does PW'ing part time. I said "at the gettin place"

Any up date on those tips. I think I'm in the market if they work well.

Art O · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I bought 2 of them and like them. They shoot further for sure and at $15 bucks each they are worth the money.

I bought a 30 & 40 just after this post and would buy them again. We used the 30 all season.

Eric Schnaible · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Thanks guys, I'm gonna buy some. I do a lot of jobs where a lift could be avoided with a few more feet of reach so they should be pretty useful.

Art O · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Them shooter tips work good.

Eric Schnaible · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Thanks for the reminder. I called and left a message, didn't hear back and forgot about it. I will try to order them again tomorrow.

Dave O · Retired Member

I think I'm going to try it. It's a good deal if it truly gets me a few more feet in distance.

Michael Wedge · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Are these any different than Guy Blackmans original shooter tips

Admin · Head Quarters

Guys tips only only come in one size, stainless and are longer. Jimmy's tips come in 4 sizes, are brass and shorter.

Doug Rucker · Vender

Guys shoot a tad bit further and can be used on any machine no matter the GPM. We even use one on our 4gpm machine and reach 3 story's easily.

I picked up a similar one at the event in Atlantic City from Bill and Paul. Gave me an extra several feet. Im going to order some from Guy and Jim to see which i like the best. Just more options.

Dave O · Retired Member
