Check Nozzle aperture/orifice size is correct for your machine if you make this upgrade.... (Eg Karcher K7 needs bigger aperature than K2 or K4)... Consult In2detailing or gun supplier for support where needed.

Shit I've just read this comment 😕 I just clicked the link and added it to basket and bought it for my K5 do you think there's anything I should be worried about or seeing as the K5 and K7 are very very similar it should be all good?
Thank You So Much for This Tip, I ordered for One for My K7 Full Control today . Edited to Add: "Your a Star !!! It will be a Perfect tool for cleaning My VW Caddy Maxi Life Wheel Chair Access Vehicle with my Autoglym Polar Blaster Snow Foam Gun and to be able to switch too & switch back to the Karcher Lance for Long Reach Areas is a dream . I have been hooked on Autoglym for the last 45 years. It works well for me.
I never saw this comment until AFTER I'd broke my K7. Bought the trigger from HDD no differentiation on their site between any Karcher machines. Fixed the machine not knowing the cause, thought it was just old age and did it again. The trigger gun itself is OK but the nozzle set provided are not a big enough diameter hole.
@@StephenT71 you need a bigger hole for the K7 steve, but it will just pulse if you have the smaller hole. you can buy bigger orrafice nozzle on ebay for like a quid or something.
Quick tip: Whenever you switch out the nozzles on a quick connect gun, point it at the ground and give the trigger a few pulls. This will ensure that the nozzle is fully seated and won't shoot off into the car. I wish someone had told me this years ago. Windshields aren't cheap.
100% haha I learned this the hard way, was detailing with a mobile service on a farm, gave the trigger a quick pull and blew the tip 200 yards out into a field. The tip was never seen again.
Great tip. I was thinking just that as I watched a video of a guy demonstrating similar quick release nozzles and the nozzle flew out on the car. But just wondering isn't it enough to just pull the nozzle a few times to make sure it doesn't come off? Also what about the snow foam Lance technically same rule applies to that, but I'm assuming just a pull test on the Lance should be ok?
Got one a couple of months ago for my Karcher K4 and love it. Be careful to spray away from your car the first time after switching nozzles. The nozzle can pop off and hit the paintwork if not seated correctly. Had one or two close calls
I just bought one of these after your recommendation. Absolutely brilliant. Nice and easy to control and works well. Only one thing I would recommend and that's test spray first to make sure the nozzle does not fly out at a great rate of speed towards your car .
Just ordered mine online today as I had a result with a Karcher from Halfords they replaced my dead K4 Compact today for a full new K4, I had had it 22 Months and the warranty is 36 Months as standard. Very pleased with the service and decided to upgrade quick release and new snow foam lance, I also ordered the review winner Snow Foam 5lts
Great review - thanks. I had the same thing with hand fatigue. I have 3 cars to wash and by car 3 my right hand was in agony!! I have a K4 and the part on the back where the pressure hose connects is perfect for hanging the trigger/gun on. The trigger lock on my Suttner 2300 works perfect and stops you firing the gun - must be a design fault on this one. One thing I found is that using the short trigger you’re closer to the car and rinsing etc is more accurate and feels quicker to get the job done. Arch cleaning and rinsing wheels etc is much easier and more accurate.
Upgraded to the In2detailing trigger along with the Autoglym Polar Blaster. What a difference! Thanks for the video, spent the afternoon cleaning two cars, no problems using the trigger over three hours, no hand fatigue, bought the deluxe version which has a bigger handle for £5 more. All I need now is a longer hose for my K4. Found the white nozzle best for rinsing. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Imran’s offering looks like an excellent budget offering. I may give it a try. I can hear Matt Mormon shouting at his laptop screen watching this. “Brass quick release and fittings, no stainless, look at that gun, it’s junk!”
The rubber hoses from Direct Hoses have the swivel feature built in. I've been recommending these as an upgrade for ages. Zero kinks and much better quality.
As someone who works for an online store who sells machines and all parts/accesories for them we can easy make these to suit any type of washer be it hot or cold nor the make or model :)
I have a setup like this but still watched the whole video because I enjoy your videos and typically get a good laugh like at the beginning of this video. Hand fatigue is my biggest complaint with my MTM SG28. I would like to see a company put a trigger lock to hold the trigger down because that would really help with hand fatigue. All the ones I own just lock it so it can’t be pulled. Great video Jon with great information!
My trigger gun arrived last week and got to use it today. SOOOO MUCH BETTER. the quick release is great as is the swivel. I used the yellow 15 degree attachment to wash off soap etc.
I have a cheap gun and the locking does exactly that. I just put the white and green nozzle in my back pocket. One word of warning, make sure the quick release is in correct. Best to aim away from the car, my Kranzle has some serious power. I like the swivel idea but may be a bit bulky for my set up. Cost of my gun about £10.00 with the 5 nozzles. Owned for 2 years no issues what so ever. The standard lance is a right lump, i love the smaller gun. Awesome for getting into the wheel arches also. Awesome review John as always.
Received mine yesterday, tried it today. Absolutely fantastic! The snow foam adapter is amazing, (doesn’t leak) and the foam is 100 times better than the Karcher adapter (which did leak!)
John, that is a great idea! Having the nozzles on a holder directly on the gun would be amazing! I use this kind of gun (not with a swivel, but after seeing this I will fix that), and my pressure washer has a holder for 3 nozzles. Not having to walk back to the pressure washer every time I need to switch nozzles would be very nice. Hopefully a manufacturer will see your video and add that to their design, would only cost them a few cents more to produce and would be a great upgrade. One other downside to having a short gun is you are more likely to splash yourself from water bouncing off the car and hitting you, especially when doing wheels or door jambs. But that is a very small inconvenience compared to having to fight with a long riffle style gun when sitting in front of the wheels and trying to rinse them. I agree with you I would not go back to the long wand style design after using this for 2 years.
an advantage of the gun is that it's smaller so you can get in places, a disadvantage of the gun is it's smaller so you can't reach places - love your reviews ;) 'quick release' is a bit of a gimmick, Karcher push twist is just as quick so I see it as only an upgrade if you want to use a sexy foam lance
Whit the karcher gun you can also adjust the pressure and works whit the quick release just put the "old" close to the unit and set the pressure what you want. Works fine.
yes this is exaclty what I do. leave the old gun in the trigger holster. I almost wish I could saw the little + and - control off the unit it and glue it to the side :)
Just bought one off these of the back of your review and I absolutely love it, I have a double drive length ways that runs down the side of my house so space is a bit tight but this bit of kit had made it 100x easier and washing the car is a pleasure again! I paired it up with a new super long 1 piece hose rather than having the karcher extension one that stays coiled up and you end up pulling the washer down the drive and not actually extending the hose lol so in all its an absolutely brilliant bit of kit and a bargin!!
Got myself a short quick release nozzle set a few weeks ago. Works well and the little interchangeable nozzles are great. Only use the white and the green on the car.
I made a short gun, karcher compatible, with swivel for just under £50. I much prefer it to the standard karcher gun. If I do a lot of spraying it can make my arm ache a tiny bit, and the swivel is a bit stiff when the gun is under pressure. I also got a quick disconnect to karcher female adapter for £10 so I can still use any karcher nozzles and foam lances that I have.
Just got a similar one with a 1/4" quick connect on both ends and a replacement 10m flexible rubber hose for my C120 Nilfisk, replacing the 6m hard plastic hose and the long lance in 1 and making cleaning the car a way easier prospect. Cost a bit more owing to the hose too, but Nilfisk don't make an M22 adaptor and the third party ones regularly suffer blowouts as they're not secure enough.
As promised, and update following using this a few times. As Jon mentions in the video, the trigger requires more ‘grip’ to get it to work, but I think you will soon get used to that. One thing I was not expecting was the ‘recoil’ feeling when you squeeze the trigger ... the gun feels like it’s twisting in your hand ... it’s not a problem, but just something I noticed. I feel the the smaller size means that it’s easier to get into the wheel arches etc, and it generally feels like you have more control... so in summary, very happy with it, and I’m glad I purchased it.
there is a bit of recoil your right peter.. after using the gun now for a month.. I just think its superb though, as a general thing "the gun" instead of the default karcher 2 handed thing. in2detailing may even be looking at offering another gun with this one, ones thats more expensive perhaps but has a lighter trigger.
Just ordered one for my K4 from In2detailing but they sent the Wrong quick release 🥺 But after talking to In2detailing really helpful sending the right one Thanks for your channel John I wouldn’t know about In2detailing if I wasn’t following your channel I have to say there customer service is second to none .... They have a customer for life 😎😎
It’s the only way to go, I bought the MTM Hydro SG 28, I’m too embarrassed to say how much it cost to change everything over on my Nilfisk Alto P150.1. Your method is significantly cheaper, well done you.
Yeah would like one for my D130 as well. If anyone finds a Nilfisk option please let us know. Only shame is I just bought my snow foam attachment and will near to adapt it.
Bought one of these really good. Managed to get a karcher to quick release adapter so I can still use other tools. Now need to change out the original hose, not long enough and still kinks to easily.
They are back in stock as of today (2nd August 2019) and your discount code worked too :) thank you and keep up the great work. Your comparison videos and honestly yet critical reviews have influenced me to buy/try new brands of products and i must say they have all been a step up compared to the products and tools i used to use. Makes washing my cars Faster, easier, more enjoyable and most importantly give longer lasting results. Top man !!
Carbon Collective Satsuma foam is very good. Very adjustable between thick and lighter foam. Standard AP Autobrite cannon here, with Kranzle K10 122 TS
Just ordered one from the website mentioned. Just wish I came across this video before I bought a replacement Karcher lance as my old one seized. Original Karcher Lance 65 sovs, the short one at 35 makes it a no brainer really.
Great upgrade indeed - I love mine!😍 So handy to use especially when cleaning the wheels & arches! So you’re up nice and close and don’t have to get up and stand far back 😎
I feel the best way to achieve high quality guns/hoses/foamers is to convert the outlet of the machine. I have a K4 with a little adapter on the back to take it from the Karcher fittings to 1/4" quick release and from there the world is your oyster with hoses and guns. Get a good quality gun, a snow foamer that does the job and a decent lance with a good handle with good quality quick releases on everything and you will never look back. Mine weren't the cheapest but most of the stuff will likely last the rest of my life so there's that.
Great review. I got the MTM Stainless steel swivel gun from in2detailing and the gun is awesome. In2detailing are brilliant and all my orders have come next day. I needed to get a adaptor from Furness fluid power that would take the high pressure/temperature from my new Clarke King 200 hot diesel washer. The stainless steel fitting was only £2. 1st day of using the Clarke King 200 and so far it is awesome to have the warm water and really helps with the snow foam layer. You are correct regarding the nozzles. I only use the white one. The swivel makes life so much easier over the standard Lance and gun. Kinks have just about gone. I’ve come from a K4 which was awful in my opinion into a K7 Karcher which I loved. To find a hot 140bar for twice the cost of a K7 is mind boggling. Highly recommend the Clarke King 200 and can be picked up at deals at Anglianpumping. I wish I’d made the move earlier to a hot power washer. It’s quite a bit bigger than the K7 but easily moveable on the two big wheels. I’ve just got the carbon collective portable hex nano machine machine polisher from in2detailing and I’m looking forward to see how it works out. Keep up with the great content. Ps please can you ask In2detailing to start stocking Carpro?
Again, after watching some of your videos, this one in particular I'm £100 down after going on to the in2detailing website, great video and I am looking for to using this on my new K5 I bought, Thanks for the great insight and bringing things like these to all our attention 🏴😎👍🏻
many thanks for the review. I have just used mine on your recommendation, very impressed indeed! Perfect with a tight driveway as it’s much easier to move round the car now. Thanks again
WOW! Bought one of these for my k4 karcher a couple of weeks ago, I can’t believe the difference between this and the karcher lance. I reckon I’m saving around 20 minutes on my usual wash routine. Thanks for this review, best bang for buck I’ve ever bought.
My k4 will not run on full pressure ever. No leaks. Tried the other lance that came with it, tried the t350 surface cleaner and it just never seems to reach full pressure. Any idea where to start with diagnosing the fault? I don’t think I have a water supply pressure problem?
Great video and thanks for the heads up. I’ve got to get one of these as I don’t have much room on my drive and the swivel feature will be very handy as I’ve ended up with a big scratch on my wing from the hose kinking up while rushing round.
I just bought one of these chinese snubby guns (foam canon included) , I'll try it out tomorrow. They all have the same design under different brand names but they are the same thing., twinkle star, sooprinse, mingle, etc.... I also bought the adapter kit with the swivel. It's not as smooth as I'd like but it will suffice for now. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple of years out of it then move on to the Italian one with the stainless connections. Thanks!
Finally got around to testing my gun from in2D and absolutely love it - so much easier for the wheels and a lot more natural to use. It seems a lot more powerful when connected to my K4 that the original Karcher Lance (even in max mode) so very pleased overall - thanks for making us aware of this item John, a great upgrade smallish price 👍
Another great video. Bought this gun last week after seeing it on the channel. Used it last night for a first. Loved it! So much easier to use and get into tight spaces like the wheel arch etc. Didnt hav the hose twist because of the swivel which was a big plus! Didnt know about the adapter for the snow foam lance!.....will fit this today! 🙈
I'm using extension rods and an upwards pointing water broom to do the underside of my car and once you get more than one quick release connector they get a bit wobbly with a fair bit of play in them.
I’m on a K4 Karcher with pressure setting controlled via twist action of the lance nozzle. This product took away that capability and does not have the capability of setting the pressure from the original gun sitting in the washer like yours Jon. Overall I have to say it doesn’t offer enough advantages for me over the standard gun. I did find it useful as you pointed out for wheel arches and the swivel connection does have it’s plus points, however, despite the great price in2detailing are offering on this product, unless you are really picky about how you operate your washer, then the standard Karcher gun does the job for me. One great mod which I do recommend is the extra long hose, that does make life easier. Great vid as per usual Jon.... keep them coming!!!
great honest feedback... you do loose being able to drop the pressure down.. maybe try flip to the black nozzle to simulate low pressure.. I think there are also some other push fit nozzle options where you can alter fan out that might be worth exploring.
That’s good to hear as I also have a K4 and wondered about the pressure control it not being wireless. So re the White Nozzle Jon recommends would you say it is equivalent to the Medium setting on the Karcher or stronger.
Awesome video! That swiwel is worth the price it self. Cause that's what I miss the most from the Kärcher K7 Full Control Premium Plus Flex I've got. I have got a short tube with the k-series adapter and the other end a QC. Didn't think of setting the pressure still on the original handle LOL. Have got me an extension with 2 QC on the tube and 1 longer with the little bend on the end to get a more ergonomics when wanted a more straight angle with the nozzle. I have a handle on the tube where it's places to have the QC nozzle tips on it too. I found a Kärcher Vario Power Jet Short 360 nozzle which you connect on the original handle. This is awesome when you use it on wheel wells and undercarriage. I put a little wheel on it with plastic stripes to get at the undercarriage more easier and more control. The pressure adjusted on the nozzle tip adjust it wireless to the gun handle one to like the patio cleaner does. Then I have 2 Kärcher extension wands when doing the undercarriage. A little handy thing to have with the Kärcher PW and makes it a little shorter than original. But man just to get the swiwel even if I would have the original spray gun would be awesome! Will look out for it or ordering it from the UK.
Bought one from Adam's Detailing shop - Nilfisk Quick Release Short Trigger Gun with Quick Release Nozzles - Nilfisk Short Trigger × 1 (£35.99). Made just in time, because they sold out.
I got my one from CYR and think it's amazing! Very handy when cleaning/blasting the wheel brushes before they go back in the bucket! Never looked ba k since I got mi e and have been using it for about a few months now!
OMG, I didn't realise my stubby gun came with the snowfoam lance adapter! You've made my day!! I thought I was going to have to buy a new lance :) Merry Christmas!
i think it puts you to close to splash back not a problem when its warm but in the uk its not often and if you wear glasses they get plastered, I had lance from a previous model , keep me snow bottle on that one then swap over to the variable lance when rinsing don't need all them little nozzles ,the longer lance works for me I do not get wet and glasses are clear
Yeah and another nearly £40 I've just spent. Bought for my k4 can't wait to try it out when it arrives and another weekend gone valeting making the money back. 🤣 this does look awesome and great video as usual. 👍👍🌟🌟
Great video Jon. I bought the MTM SGS28 gun with integrated swivel. And it's like you say, I will never go back again. Can't remember what I paid for it but I think it was around £100 with the MTM PF22 foam cannon. I also have the K7, and I use the insert for chemicals on the pressure washer to store my nozzles when I don't use them. I haven't lost any yet.
Just purchased this kit after watching your video, been annoyed by my karcher lance for ages now and was after one of these, as always your videos are awesome. In2detailing’s website on the other hand is awful, kept crashing during checkout and I ended up using PayPal to just checkout. Cost me £39 including postage for the K series kit.
Thought I’d post a follow up, I’ve been using this since purchase for car washes only, since the lockdown I decided to wash my driveway, the strong spring on the trigger is VERY annoying when using this for a long period as cleaning a full driveway takes a full day. The other thing I wanted to ask is how do I actually remove this to switch back to my karcher (as I have the patio cleaner attachment for that and it would’ve made my life a lot easier)? One final note, mine developed a leak near the part there you chance the attachments, the rubber seal within there had become twisted, I unscrewed the nut and straightened it and after retightening it appears to be fine but just a point to note.
Been using a short gun for some time and they are excellent for detailing, much more manoeuvrable and easier to control, especially on things like wheels and sills etc. Extension lances are quite cheap too, so yet another benefit to the qr system if that’s your preference. The swivel on this looks great and is unique in the marketplace, not so sure about the trigger assembly itself though, looks like that is the part keeping the cost down. That said, a branded gun with LTF (Low Trigger Force) costs half as much again as this whole package without the swivel and qr attachments. LTF is nice, but unless you are regularly using the machine for more than two cars, or have an issue that affects your grip strength, then it’s no biggie. Overall I’d say get one, it will revolutionise the way you use your pressure washer and after a decent hose, it’s best upgrade you can get for any machine. Just wish Imran would sell the swivel assembly separately. Hint, hint!!!
Another great vid, and a great package for the price. I modded my K2 with quick releases, swivels, stubby gun and longer hose about 2 years ago and it probably cost as much as i originally paid for the K2. Having said that it's 5 years old and still gives great results, and is a far better set up than the normal Karcher. I haven't found any negatives with it at all while using it. If you check out ebay you can find different styles of nozzle holders, and also other nozzles like the dirt blaster.
@@ForensicDetailing No i went with an Italian made MV925, it's pretty good quality and is really durable. It's been dropped a couple of times, and even been driven over and it's still as good as new. If you go down the modding route it can be a bit of a headache sourcing all the parts, but i was lucky enough to find a seller on ebay that had everything. It's definitely worthwhile doing, as you can mod your pressure washer to suit your needs.
got this from in2 the other week lovely kit. arches are a breeze with it along with most areas around the car have become much simpler and enjoyable to do :)
Hello FDC and viewers. For those that know the following please ignore, for those that do not I hope this helps. The Karcher K7 pressure washer has a MAXIMUM output pressure of 180 Bar (2610 psi). The nominal working pressure is 145 Bar (2103 psi). Look on the label of the machine. I have 2 Snow Foam Cannons, 1 with the 1.1mm orifice and the other with the 1.25mm one. When I use the Snow Foam Cannon with the 1.1 and the K7 on full power the washer pulsates due to the over pressure switch cutting in and out to protect the washer as the orifice is too small. When I use the 1.25 one it works perfectly. If you have any problems with the washer and Snow Foam Cannon check the orifice. They can be bought for between 5 and 10 pounds from MJJC. Cheaper ones are available from eBay but I have no experience with them. I have also bought a short trigger gun from High Definition Detail. I bought the Kranzle version as I had already got the Karcher Quick Release adaptor on order from elsewhere. The Kranzle one works perfectly fine with the K7 at full power and using the 15 degree nozzle, no pulsing. The output pressure of the K7 can still be adjusted using the original lance as it uses a Wi-Fi signal. I haven't tried the SFC yet as I haven't converted it to the quick release you get with it. Hope this helps 😀
Very informative video, thanks! I was looking at a similar looking set but it costs 219€!!! It's probably a bit better but not that much. That's what I paid my Kärcher K4 premium 4 years ago. They say it's stainless steel, I think it should be gold plated for that price now that I watched your video.
Hey mate! I run a Karcher k3 model and they make a lance with a handle with a place for the nozzle ends to go and it’s absolutely wonderful when I’m switched back and forth in a job I picked it up on Amazon for about 19 or so (USD).
SPM Steve exactly. Lots of people with Nilfisks looking for something like this. I’ve emailed in2detailing requesting it. I’d suggest others do the same to show the level of interest
Check Nozzle aperture/orifice size is correct for your machine if you make this upgrade.... (Eg Karcher K7 needs bigger aperature than K2 or K4)... Consult In2detailing or gun supplier for support where needed.

I did not do this with a metal angle adapter and put two huge gauges in my 5000 wheels 😢
I broke my snowfoam Lane like this didn’t damage car but fan blades on lance messed up managed to fix it
"Playing Tennis" aye we know what you mean John 😉
Got one a couple of months ago for my Karcher K4 and love it. Be careful to spray away from your car the first time after switching nozzles. The nozzle can pop off and hit the paintwork if not seated correctly. Had one or two close calls
I don't think they intend you using the snow foam lance for shaving - LOL
Oops should have been close calls not close shaves 😄😄
Is there some play in the trigger handle like you can see in this video?
How do you find it with the pressure? Worried about using too much ahaha
I have a Kärcher K5 do I need the buy the adapter from somewhere else ?
I just bought one of these after your recommendation. Absolutely brilliant. Nice and easy to control and works well. Only one thing I would recommend and that's test spray first to make sure the nozzle does not fly out at a great rate of speed towards your car .
The red ones to sign your work when you've finished washing the car 😏

its awesome isnt it Gavin. you will never go back one you get the new setup. thank you sir enjoy the gun.

Got enough foam there Jon? I think you missed a bit 🤣 now let me get out my Gillette Sensor Excel
The rubber hoses from Direct Hoses have the swivel feature built in. I've been recommending these as an upgrade for ages. Zero kinks and much better quality.
Hi I've just bought I off amazon for 35 with everything gun laens and 5 nozzles really happy I shall try her tomorrow love your voice jason

FAB Automotive Detailing so true! Why not a trigger lock to KEEP spraying and not to PREVENT spraying. gas stations have figured it out. 😉
Mark Czanstkowski You would think it would be simple to do!
My trigger gun arrived last week and got to use it today. SOOOO MUCH BETTER. the quick release is great as is the swivel. I used the yellow 15 degree attachment to wash off soap etc.
If in2detailing went along the lines of being the uk obsessed garage that would be amazing
I have a cheap gun and the locking does exactly that. I just put the white and green nozzle in my back pocket. One word of warning, make sure the quick release is in correct.
Best to aim away from the car, my Kranzle has some serious power. I like the swivel idea but may be a bit bulky for my set up. Cost of my gun about £10.00 with the 5 nozzles.
Owned for 2 years no issues what so ever. The standard lance is a right lump, i love the smaller gun. Awesome for getting into the wheel arches also. Awesome review John as always.
Received mine yesterday, tried it today. Absolutely fantastic! The snow foam adapter is amazing, (doesn’t leak) and the foam is 100 times better than the Karcher adapter (which did leak!)
Great video! Just ordered myself one to replace the standard Karcher K4 Gun, look forward to giving this one a go!
John, that is a great idea! Having the nozzles on a holder directly on the gun would be amazing! I use this kind of gun (not with a swivel, but after seeing this I will fix that), and my pressure washer has a holder for 3 nozzles. Not having to walk back to the pressure washer every time I need to switch nozzles would be very nice. Hopefully a manufacturer will see your video and add that to their design, would only cost them a few cents more to produce and would be a great upgrade. One other downside to having a short gun is you are more likely to splash yourself from water bouncing off the car and hitting you, especially when doing wheels or door jambs. But that is a very small inconvenience compared to having to fight with a long riffle style gun when sitting in front of the wheels and trying to rinse them. I agree with you I would not go back to the long wand style design after using this for 2 years.
an advantage of the gun is that it's smaller so you can get in places, a disadvantage of the gun is it's smaller so you can't reach places - love your reviews ;)
'quick release' is a bit of a gimmick, Karcher push twist is just as quick
so I see it as only an upgrade if you want to use a sexy foam lance
Now you have to buy extension nozzle and pivoting quick connect, you can wash everything with it, very usefull tool
John the red one is for cats.
Excellent review! A little humour is never wrong :-)
Got mine today. For anyone interested, it fits the Karcher K2 Compact.
So glad you have shown and reviewed this. I have been waiting a while to buy one of these for my K7 and have just ordered it from in2detailing. 👍🏻
Whit the karcher gun you can also adjust the pressure and works whit the quick release just put the "old" close to the unit and set the pressure what you want. Works fine.
yes this is exaclty what I do. leave the old gun in the trigger holster. I almost wish I could saw the little + and - control off the unit it and glue it to the side :)
Just bought one off these of the back of your review and I absolutely love it, I have a double drive length ways that runs down the side of my house so space is a bit tight but this bit of kit had made it 100x easier and washing the car is a pleasure again! I paired it up with a new super long 1 piece hose rather than having the karcher extension one that stays coiled up and you end up pulling the washer down the drive and not actually extending the hose lol so in all its an absolutely brilliant bit of kit and a bargin!!
Got myself a short quick release nozzle set a few weeks ago. Works well and the little interchangeable nozzles are great. Only use the white and the green on the car.
I made a short gun, karcher compatible, with swivel for just under £50. I much prefer it to the standard karcher gun. If I do a lot of spraying it can make my arm ache a tiny bit, and the swivel is a bit stiff when the gun is under pressure. I also got a quick disconnect to karcher female adapter for £10 so I can still use any karcher nozzles and foam lances that I have.
Just bought one and look forward to using it. Was wondering why my snowfoam lance wasn't connecting but do now thanks to you!
Just got a similar one with a 1/4" quick connect on both ends and a replacement 10m flexible rubber hose for my C120 Nilfisk, replacing the 6m hard plastic hose and the long lance in 1 and making cleaning the car a way easier prospect. Cost a bit more owing to the hose too, but Nilfisk don't make an M22 adaptor and the third party ones regularly suffer blowouts as they're not secure enough.
As promised, and update following using this a few times.
As Jon mentions in the video, the trigger requires more ‘grip’ to get it to work, but I think you will soon get used to that. One thing I was not expecting was the ‘recoil’ feeling when you squeeze the trigger ... the gun feels like it’s twisting in your hand ... it’s not a problem, but just something I noticed.
I feel the the smaller size means that it’s easier to get into the wheel arches etc, and it generally feels like you have more control... so in summary, very happy with it, and I’m glad I purchased it.
there is a bit of recoil your right peter.. after using the gun now for a month.. I just think its superb though, as a general thing "the gun" instead of the default karcher 2 handed thing.
in2detailing may even be looking at offering another gun with this one, ones thats more expensive perhaps but has a lighter trigger.
Great revue John I've been looking at getting one fo these quick release guns and as all the guys say. your honest observations seal it for me
Just ordered one for my K4 from In2detailing but they sent the Wrong quick release 🥺
But after talking to In2detailing really helpful sending the right one
Thanks for your channel John I wouldn’t know about In2detailing if I wasn’t following your channel
I have to say there customer service is second to none ....
They have a customer for life 😎😎
Recently changed all my fittings to quick release, such a handy and quick upgrade
The red nozzle is a 0deg jet, its good for getting chewing gum off paving stones/concrete etc
Red is for the sand inbetween patio slabs. Blast out weeds etc
It’s the only way to go, I bought the MTM Hydro SG 28, I’m too embarrassed to say how much it cost to change everything over on my Nilfisk Alto P150.1. Your method is significantly cheaper, well done you.
Thanks for the vid Jon,... I'm definitely interested.... Wonder will this attach to my Nilfisk though???????
Rob Lee 73 having the exact same dilemma. My e145 is crying for this lance
Yeah would like one for my D130 as well. If anyone finds a Nilfisk option please let us know. Only shame is I just bought my snow foam attachment and will near to adapt it.
I was waiting for a gun such as this with a Kärcher connection. Ideal for my narrow driveway!! Will be purchasing one for sure!
Bought one of these really good. Managed to get a karcher to quick release adapter so I can still use other tools. Now need to change out the original hose, not long enough and still kinks to easily.
They are back in stock as of today (2nd August 2019) and your discount code worked too :) thank you and keep up the great work. Your comparison videos and honestly yet critical reviews have influenced me to buy/try new brands of products and i must say they have all been a step up compared to the products and tools i used to use. Makes washing my cars Faster, easier, more enjoyable and most importantly give longer lasting results. Top man !!
Carbon Collective Satsuma foam is very good. Very adjustable between thick and lighter foam. Standard AP Autobrite cannon here, with Kranzle K10 122 TS
Just ordered one from the website mentioned. Just wish I came across this video before I bought a replacement Karcher lance as my old one seized. Original Karcher Lance 65 sovs, the short one at 35 makes it a no brainer really.
Great upgrade indeed - I love mine!😍
So handy to use especially when cleaning the wheels & arches! So you’re up nice and close and don’t have to get up and stand far back 😎
Thanks Jon, got mine today bloody great piece of kit ! My drive is narrow and this a game changer for me ! Keep up the good work
Got one when they first came out. Couldn’t do without it now.
Went in and bought one from Imram today looks a quality piece of kit👍
I agree it would be good to be able to attach the nozzles but I keep them in the bag they came in so no wet pockets/fluf for me!
Just bought one of these for my Karcher k2! Waiting for it to arrive
Did u end up buying one?
I feel the best way to achieve high quality guns/hoses/foamers is to convert the outlet of the machine. I have a K4 with a little adapter on the back to take it from the Karcher fittings to 1/4" quick release and from there the world is your oyster with hoses and guns.
Get a good quality gun, a snow foamer that does the job and a decent lance with a good handle with good quality quick releases on everything and you will never look back. Mine weren't the cheapest but most of the stuff will likely last the rest of my life so there's that.
Great review. I got the MTM Stainless steel swivel gun from in2detailing and the gun is awesome. In2detailing are brilliant and all my orders have come next day. I needed to get a adaptor from Furness fluid power that would take the high pressure/temperature from my new Clarke King 200 hot diesel washer. The stainless steel fitting was only £2. 1st day of using the Clarke King 200 and so far it is awesome to have the warm water and really helps with the snow foam layer. You are correct regarding the nozzles. I only use the white one. The swivel makes life so much easier over the standard Lance and gun. Kinks have just about gone. I’ve come from a K4 which was awful in my opinion into a K7 Karcher which I loved. To find a hot 140bar for twice the cost of a K7 is mind boggling. Highly recommend the Clarke King 200 and can be picked up at deals at Anglianpumping. I wish I’d made the move earlier to a hot power washer. It’s quite a bit bigger than the K7 but easily moveable on the two big wheels. I’ve just got the carbon collective portable hex nano machine machine polisher from in2detailing and I’m looking forward to see how it works out. Keep up with the great content. Ps please can you ask In2detailing to start stocking Carpro?
I will ask mate
Again, after watching some of your videos, this one in particular I'm £100 down after going on to the in2detailing website, great video and I am looking for to using this on my new K5 I bought, Thanks for the great insight and bringing things like these to all our attention 🏴😎👍🏻
many thanks for the review. I have just used mine on your recommendation, very impressed indeed! Perfect with a tight driveway as it’s much easier to move round the car now. Thanks again
WOW! Bought one of these for my k4 karcher a couple of weeks ago, I can’t believe the difference between this and the karcher lance. I reckon I’m saving around 20 minutes on my usual wash routine.
Thanks for this review, best bang for buck I’ve ever bought.
My k4 will not run on full pressure ever. No leaks. Tried the other lance that came with it, tried the t350 surface cleaner and it just never seems to reach full pressure. Any idea where to start with diagnosing the fault? I don’t think I have a water supply pressure problem?
Great video and thanks for the heads up. I’ve got to get one of these as I don’t have much room on my drive and the swivel feature will be very handy as I’ve ended up with a big scratch on my wing from the hose kinking up while rushing round.
For the limp wristed ones amongst you put a velcro loop around the trigger to keep it on; it's a bit of a faff but it may be better than w4nkers cramp
My gun arrived today 6th August after being on holiday. Can’t wait to use it in my K2.
cool paul if you get time please feedback your thoughts on it.
Hand fatigue is about the only negative I have experienced.
Edward Cabrera I second that! I have an MTM SG28 and my hand is tired by the time I’m don’t rinsing.
All in the wrist my son 😜
More practice needed me thinks !
I found the cheaper guns small in the hand,have upgraded to a Suttner gun which is larger and so felt more comfortable in the hand.
I just bought one of these chinese snubby guns (foam canon included) , I'll try it out tomorrow. They all have the same design under different brand names but they are the same thing., twinkle star, sooprinse, mingle, etc.... I also bought the adapter kit with the swivel. It's not as smooth as I'd like but it will suffice for now. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple of years out of it then move on to the Italian one with the stainless connections. Thanks!
Finally got around to testing my gun from in2D and absolutely love it - so much easier for the wheels and a lot more natural to use. It seems a lot more powerful when connected to my K4 that the original Karcher Lance (even in max mode) so very pleased overall - thanks for making us aware of this item John, a great upgrade smallish price 👍
Can you tell me if there is there some play in the trigger handle like you can see in this video?
Another great video. Bought this gun last week after seeing it on the channel. Used it last night for a first. Loved it! So much easier to use and get into tight spaces like the wheel arch etc. Didnt hav the hose twist because of the swivel which was a big plus! Didnt know about the adapter for the snow foam lance!.....will fit this today! 🙈
Bought one. Used your code and it worked. Paid for the shipping. Thanks for the review and heads up.
Corvair140 looks exactly the same as the MATCC
Thank you for another fabulous review. Needless to say, I’ve ordered one. I just need more gigs to pay for all this stuff I keep ordering 😂😂😂
I'm using extension rods and an upwards pointing water broom to do the underside of my car and once you get more than one quick release connector they get a bit wobbly with a fair bit of play in them.
I’m on a K4 Karcher with pressure setting controlled via twist action of the lance nozzle. This product took away that capability and does not have the capability of setting the pressure from the original gun sitting in the washer like yours Jon. Overall I have to say it doesn’t offer enough advantages for me over the standard gun. I did find it useful as you pointed out for wheel arches and the swivel connection does have it’s plus points, however, despite the great price in2detailing are offering on this product, unless you are really picky about how you operate your washer, then the standard Karcher gun does the job for me. One great mod which I do recommend is the extra long hose, that does make life easier. Great vid as per usual Jon.... keep them coming!!!
great honest feedback... you do loose being able to drop the pressure down.. maybe try flip to the black nozzle to simulate low pressure.. I think there are also some other push fit nozzle options where you can alter fan out that might be worth exploring.
That’s good to hear as I also have a K4 and wondered about the pressure control it not being wireless.
So re the White Nozzle Jon recommends would you say it is equivalent to the Medium setting on the Karcher or stronger.
Awesome video!
That swiwel is worth the price it self. Cause that's what I miss the most from the Kärcher K7 Full Control Premium Plus Flex I've got. I have got a short tube with the k-series adapter and the other end a QC. Didn't think of setting the pressure still on the original handle LOL. Have got me an extension with 2 QC on the tube and 1 longer with the little bend on the end to get a more ergonomics when wanted a more straight angle with the nozzle. I have a handle on the tube where it's places to have the QC nozzle tips on it too.
I found a Kärcher Vario Power Jet Short 360 nozzle which you connect on the original handle. This is awesome when you use it on wheel wells and undercarriage. I put a little wheel on it with plastic stripes to get at the undercarriage more easier and more control. The pressure adjusted on the nozzle tip adjust it wireless to the gun handle one to like the patio cleaner does. Then I have 2 Kärcher extension wands when doing the undercarriage. A little handy thing to have with the Kärcher PW and makes it a little shorter than original.
But man just to get the swiwel even if I would have the original spray gun would be awesome! Will look out for it or ordering it from the UK.
Bought one from Adam's Detailing shop - Nilfisk Quick Release Short Trigger Gun with Quick Release Nozzles - Nilfisk Short Trigger × 1 (£35.99). Made just in time, because they sold out.
I got my one from CYR and think it's amazing! Very handy when cleaning/blasting the wheel brushes before they go back in the bucket! Never looked ba k since I got mi e and have been using it for about a few months now!
OMG, I didn't realise my stubby gun came with the snowfoam lance adapter! You've made my day!! I thought I was going to have to buy a new lance :) Merry Christmas!
Just purchased the deluxe version from them, can't wait for it to turn up, thanks for another fantastic review!
Very very thorough. Brilliant. Thank you. Subbed.
i think it puts you to close to splash back not a problem when its warm but in the uk its not often and if you wear glasses they get plastered, I had lance from a previous model , keep me snow bottle on that one then swap over to the variable lance when rinsing don't need all them little nozzles ,the longer lance works for me I do not get wet and glasses are clear
Absolutely great well explained video !! You covered everything I needed to know, so thanks so much !! Keep em coming 😀
Thanks Jon, jjust bought mine, great buy as I nearly bought an Italian made one the other day for over £50
Great review, love these real world reviews with no nonsense. Cheers
Simply great content John. In2 Detailing are currently out of stock! But when they're back in I'm on it.
"Playing tennis" your search history says otherwise
Had it about a week there amazing
Hey John, thanks for the tip and review! Just ordered one hopefully you get something out of it, top work!!!!
Yeah and another nearly £40 I've just spent. Bought for my k4 can't wait to try it out when it arrives and another weekend gone valeting making the money back. 🤣 this does look awesome and great video as usual. 👍👍🌟🌟
Look forward to using this Jon. Thanks for the review
Great video Jon.
I bought the MTM SGS28 gun with integrated swivel. And it's like you say, I will never go back again.
Can't remember what I paid for it but I think it was around £100 with the MTM PF22 foam cannon.
I also have the K7, and I use the insert for chemicals on the pressure washer to store my nozzles when I don't use them. I haven't lost any yet.
Michael Trustrup where did you get yours if you don’t mind me asking?
Just purchased this kit after watching your video, been annoyed by my karcher lance for ages now and was after one of these, as always your videos are awesome.
In2detailing’s website on the other hand is awful, kept crashing during checkout and I ended up using PayPal to just checkout. Cost me £39 including postage for the K series kit.
Thought I’d post a follow up, I’ve been using this since purchase for car washes only, since the lockdown I decided to wash my driveway, the strong spring on the trigger is VERY annoying when using this for a long period as cleaning a full driveway takes a full day.
The other thing I wanted to ask is how do I actually remove this to switch back to my karcher (as I have the patio cleaner attachment for that and it would’ve made my life a lot easier)?
One final note, mine developed a leak near the part there you chance the attachments, the rubber seal within there had become twisted, I unscrewed the nut and straightened it and after retightening it appears to be fine but just a point to note.
Been using a short gun for some time and they are excellent for detailing, much more manoeuvrable and easier to control, especially on things like wheels and sills etc. Extension lances are quite cheap too, so yet another benefit to the qr system if that’s your preference.
The swivel on this looks great and is unique in the marketplace, not so sure about the trigger assembly itself though, looks like that is the part keeping the cost down. That said, a branded gun with LTF (Low Trigger Force) costs half as much again as this whole package without the swivel and qr attachments. LTF is nice, but unless you are regularly using the machine for more than two cars, or have an issue that affects your grip strength, then it’s no biggie.
Overall I’d say get one, it will revolutionise the way you use your pressure washer and after a decent hose, it’s best upgrade you can get for any machine. Just wish Imran would sell the swivel assembly separately. Hint, hint!!!
its prolly a good idea that isnt it.. to sell the swivel.. I cant see any reason why not.
We have got some seperate swivels coming with the new delivery of trigger guns! Keep your eyes peeled
in2 Detailing yummy!!
Another great vid, and a great package for the price.
I modded my K2 with quick releases, swivels, stubby gun and longer hose about 2 years ago and it probably cost as much as i originally paid for the K2. Having said that it's 5 years old and still gives great results, and is a far better set up than the normal Karcher. I haven't found any negatives with it at all while using it.
If you check out ebay you can find different styles of nozzle holders, and also other nozzles like the dirt blaster.
awesome thank you. did you go like sutner?? I looked at doing it and gave up in the end it was all so confusing.
@@ForensicDetailing No i went with an Italian made MV925, it's pretty good quality and is really durable. It's been dropped a couple of times, and even been driven over and it's still as good as new. If you go down the modding route it can be a bit of a headache sourcing all the parts, but i was lucky enough to find a seller on ebay that had everything. It's definitely worthwhile doing, as you can mod your pressure washer to suit your needs.
got this from in2 the other week lovely kit. arches are a breeze with it along with most areas around the car have become much simpler and enjoyable to do :)
Hello FDC and viewers.
For those that know the following please ignore, for those that do not I hope this helps.
The Karcher K7 pressure washer has a MAXIMUM output pressure of 180 Bar (2610 psi).
The nominal working pressure is 145 Bar (2103 psi). Look on the label of the machine.
I have 2 Snow Foam Cannons, 1 with the 1.1mm orifice and the other with the 1.25mm one.
When I use the Snow Foam Cannon with the 1.1 and the K7 on full power the washer pulsates due to the over pressure switch cutting in and out to protect the washer as the orifice is too small.
When I use the 1.25 one it works perfectly.
If you have any problems with the washer and Snow Foam Cannon check the orifice. They can be bought for between 5 and 10 pounds from MJJC. Cheaper ones are available from eBay but I have no experience with them.
I have also bought a short trigger gun from High Definition Detail.
I bought the Kranzle version as I had already got the Karcher Quick Release adaptor on order from elsewhere.
The Kranzle one works perfectly fine with the K7 at full power and using the 15 degree nozzle, no pulsing.
The output pressure of the K7 can still be adjusted using the original lance as it uses a Wi-Fi signal.
I haven't tried the SFC yet as I haven't converted it to the quick release you get with it.
Hope this helps 😀
Good read up.
So which one would you suggest for Karcher K7 for rinsing 03 - 035 - 04 or others nozzle orifice size
I use the 0 degree for blasting out pipes
Very informative video, thanks! I was looking at a similar looking set but it costs 219€!!! It's probably a bit better but not that much. That's what I paid my Kärcher K4 premium 4 years ago. They say it's stainless steel, I think it should be gold plated for that price now that I watched your video.
Looks like a good option
I have the mosmatic swivel from obsessed garage that I picked up from Matt nearly 2 years ago, this just needs a wand
Just got one it’s peeing out around the swivel hopefully when I find my spanner’s it’s will rectify that
5:00 I just love the sound it makes when it connects. Am I sad? 😃
No not at all......Coz if you are that makes 2 of us....
@@stevemk4st649 👍🤣😂
Using on a k5 its perfect with white nosel no problem at all thanks for review keep up great videos
Just got mine and its great.
Hey mate! I run a Karcher k3 model and they make a lance with a handle with a place for the nozzle ends to go and it’s absolutely wonderful when I’m switched back and forth in a job I picked it up on Amazon for about 19 or so (USD).
If they make this in Nilfisk fitment that's my birthday present sorted.. seems well made and a fair price as you state.
SPM Steve exactly. Lots of people with Nilfisks looking for something like this. I’ve emailed in2detailing requesting it. I’d suggest others do the same to show the level of interest
