Got a 3 storty job that I think that tip will work

I have brass and SS from Guy. The brass ones work well but lose their solid stream distance pretty quick. I've taken a drill bit and cleaned them out as well as re-drilled the concave tip to make them last longer.

Pros/Cons:
Brass vs SS vs Poly vs ...

We have 30 & 40 brass which are used the most. We also have the shooter from guy that we use for larger house washing.

Here's the stainless Clone

Maverick Contracting · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Question is Art, is the clone as good?:

shoot as far,
Shoot as straight (retain tight grouping)
Not rust or degrade as fast
Etc?

Thanks for the input!

I have Guy Blackmans TOST in our tool box.

Brian C Jackson · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I just bought a few new shooter tips from the Power wash store. I also have Guys shooter and a few others in the tool box

Maverick Contracting · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Brian, do you have a preference one vs another?
If so, other than best distance what differentiates them?

Thanks

Brian C Jackson · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I don't have a preference at all. I think they all work great. I just needed some new ones for the upcoming season and I was placing an order with the Powerwash Store and I decided to give theres a try

A little trick with the brass ones to get an extended life span.

Take a drill bit that fits loosely, so you don't change the hole size and smooth out the inside. Once that's done you can lightly re drill the recess in the tip. I hope to find a very small wired brush that can go on the drill. Sort of like cleaning a gun bore.

Great suggestion..

Maverick Contracting · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Im assuming your speaking of cleaning corrosion out of tip?
If so I would recc. just using your fingers to spin the bit so as not to damage the nozzle or better yet, a wooden dowel.

When cleaning spray gun tips the only thing that you can use to clean the bore and not eff up the spay pattern is a piece of soft wood.

I rather go S.S. as the brass seems to corrode faster and no matter how careful anyone is, the guys still drop the wands and bang up the tips.

Maverick first you have to buy a shooter, then tell us what works and what doesn't to clean it!

Maverick Contracting · Approved Exterior Cleaner

LOL, fair enough

I haven't tried the assassin but somehow ended up with a ladder saver nozzle and it works well.

I don't run chems through my pressure lines as it shortens their life, but I run up to 5500 psi.

That set up below shoots a good stream 2-3 storeys and that's what I use for many jobs.

Haven't looked lately but think it is still shooting at about 600 psi. Fantastic for blowing spiders off two storey buildings.

Pretty impressive how many fittings you cobbled together to go from the wand socket to the ladder saver tip. Bonus points for throwing a screw connect fitting into the mix as well
