Nice!! Just ordered that to try out. Definitely different looking
I was watching the Cleaner cast with you last night while I was editing my video at the same time. I was recording the video during the podcast and missed it live. LOL. It's not horrible just not for me, I'm more concerned on how badly inaccurate their orifice sizes are on the nozzle guards.
Great job Keav
Thank You!
I spent the money from obsess garage and got the OG gun and nozzles. Worth every penny, works flawlessly. Hard to complain and I would think hard to improve.
I mean the technology and physics can only go so far. Added features such as storage or nozzle holders is really all you can add now. Precision of the QD’s, swivel and trigger is most important. Hand fitment as well which is why some people with big hands struggle with many of them.
Ouch. You got bent over. You could have gotten mosmatic gun for way less at kleenrite.
@@WillieBeamin-t4v Only thing is OG is about the only place to get a built in swivel Mosmatic and Kleen Rite is sold without the very nice quick connects from Mosmatic. All that together is what makes the high price on OG website. Several of the Mosmatic on Kleen Rite are well over $100 without the quick connects or swivel. Personally still too much for me to spend.
@@CarsWithKeav yeah the size of the swivel is slightly different as the more expensive og one is like a 1/2” shorter. Honestly, the difference in price isn’t worth it to me.
@@WillieBeamin-t4v Agreed, but I’ll end up buying one to review because everybody wants me to try one out.
FYI, there are magnetic stainless steel and non magnetic stainless steel. Using a magnet is not an absolute test for stainless steel.
Correct, just usually they always use 304 or 316 on these trigger guys so I was basing on those types of stainless which are not magnetic. Very possible it is 400 series stainless which is why I stopped short of saying its not stainless and let Griots chime in on what it is as they state the manifold is stainless. The screw for sure is not stainless at all as it was way to magnetic.
I like how u cover the ergonomics of every gun. The Active gun was a super disappointing for me. It failed after a couple of uses. I did get a replacement free of charge from Active and gave it to my buddy. I got the MTM SGS28 and never been happier. Far superior gun in terms of performance and build quality.
Love my SGS28! What exactly failed on the Active if you don’t mind me asking?
@@CarsWithKeav that valve. It kept leaking water. I took it completely apart and I mean completely. Nothing worked.
@@amoni1959 Thanks for the info!
Your the best, brother. Thank you for insightful videos. They’re very useful. Again, your the best. Appreciate you very much.
Appreciate the kind words!
Nice review Keav! Looks and price are not awesome but the lifetime warranty is unmatched. Same as the foam cannon, $99 but knowing if it ever breaks it's covered. For $10 more then the MJJC at least I know it's covered for life.
Lifetime warranty is always nice and I really never heard of them fighting anyone to replace something. Not like it doesn’t perform just not my cup of tea looks or size wise.
@@CarsWithKeav agreed it’s not the prettiest
As always, super great review and really really helpful. Thanks so much for your meticulous attention to detail! I love Gross’s products and I am interested but will take a careful look armed with your review Dr. detail from Atlanta thank you.
Was waiting for this review before buying
I figured somebody would have had a video out already. I think it’s been out for a few weeks already.
Nothing beats sgs28 for me for carwashing price is decent too
Agreed!
Love the box struggles in the bloopers. Thought for a second it was going to get flung.
I was real close! The spray gun box got tossed it sucked so bad the spray gun fell out as I was taking out of the delivery box. LOL
I just looked at the Amazon foam sprayer used in this video, and for that price I might as well buy the IK foam sprayer!
All depends how much value you place on never having to pump or use an air compressor. In the video it also did not spray well due to the battery being so low. Video will be out soon on it.
I love griots but this gun.. idk man just can’t beat the sgs28 for me. Also those nozzle guards look so nice! I run my ryobi on a 3.5 and its enough pressure for me
It's all up to preference if you like 700 PSI with the 3.5 then go for it you for sure will have more flow. Unless the 3.5 you have was made by Griots then it might be a 2.5 LOL
It looks like you are the first to review this gun. Thanks. I guess I'll stick with my MTM Hydro Acqualine.
Can’t go wrong with the Aqualine. Only thing MtM needs to do is have a Mosmatic like swivel and they got the perfect guns.
Best review of guns!!!! Well done my friend. I am happy with my gun and your recommendation right before I purchased it. 😂
Thank You, they will all work in the end either way even if you don't buy the best one.
@@CarsWithKeav I want the best one or NOTHING! ... ok, maybe the second best will be ok for a minute. LMFAO
@@IamDetailedAF Nothing wrong with being first loser. 🤣
Interesting information. I'm currently using the MC Killian's. I also have an SGS 28. Love both but don't know if I would go to the Griot's just yet
With those two no reason to even look at the Griots.
This is more lf a "for fun" honorable mention but have you tried using the "EASY!Force Advanced Pressure Washer Trigger Gun" its a Karcher pressure washer gun but i would NOT recommend it for detailing its best used for other pressure washer industrys. I my self used it for about a 6months to wash cars as an experiment but its best suited for concrete floors and washing side walls. Also its a heavy unit once you have all the proper fittings/ adapters installed. For gits and shiggles I even put a mosmatic live swivel but it looked silly 😅 and bulky. Just a video idea if you want to try something different.
For around the house job I tend to use those style spray guns such as the Ryobi. I do think though my audience would revolt against me if I reviewed that type of spray gun. 🤣🤣
Great review! Very concerning the orifice size discrepancy. The gun at $130? Out of my price range.
Problem is to be at that price you have to offer something worth it and they dropped the ball and came out with a middle of the pack cheap Amazon looking gun. Who is running the product development team there? I am not so sure they are in touch with their target audience. Well unless their target audience is Autozone shoppers instead of detailers.
Keav I do believe you have created a New Dance👀👍. Let’s Call it The Swivel 👌😱
That’s all the rhythm I have right there so let’s get this trending on TikTok. 🤣
@@CarsWithKeav hilarious 👍
@CarsWithKeav I get 850psi with Griot’s 4.0/40 on my Kranzle 1322TS. Performing like a 4.5…
They for sure are not very accurate, but at least so far in the right direction as to not cause damage to the pressure washer.
Man that Mckillan is sexy.. and the Mtm too.. I wish they where avaliable here in Poland but as of yet I can't find them, I just bought a Techkar one (a Polish brand known for good stuff) and I didn't test it yet as it's raining non stop lately. About the Griots one: I could stand the price (man it's expensive af), I could stand the bulk (I want to see your picture with a shotgun Keav in full tactical gear - that would be something) but the one thing is absolutely horrendous is the trigger - it reminds me of my old Karcher standard spraygun trigger and i hate it with all my heart.
The trigger is no good to me either. Have you tried Mosmatic or Suttner they might be available in your area. Suttner is very comparable to an MTM and they are German made.
@@CarsWithKeav Thank you Keav for all your anwsers, i know it's a lot of time spent here, and i will check out your Suttner recommendation! Your advice is golden to me, and i must add it (im sorry for it Americans i love you) your one of the few that measures and compares in ml and liter's, i know conversion sucks but gallons are not precise enough, it's so silly (feet? u mean those things on my legs? ❤ ;) And please think of the picture with the shotgun on a porch sitting in a chair, guarding your amazing house and BMW (that would be cool af) 😍
@@CarsWithKeav Hmm i don't see the mosmatic gun here (that dosen't mean it's not here, just i can't find it as of now) only heavy industrial eq, but man i bet it's high quality looking at their other stuff 🤔
@@victoryensured7137 No problem always glad to help. Most of the good stuff is in ml so that’s the main reason I use that as a measurement. Heidi guards herself she’ll turn into a horror movie car if they touch her. 🤣
@@victoryensured7137 Mosmatic is good stuff just expensive at least here it is.
Cool stuff Keav! I'm probably picking one up just because I feel like it 😂 I might have missed it, but is this made in USA like the Boss Foam Cannon?
Nope, designed in Washington and manufactured in Taiwan is what the box states. Nozzle guards as well.
@@CarsWithKeav Thanks for the info friend 💯
Keav, What do you think of SGS35 vs SGS28? I know you like the SGS28.
I’m not a fan of it as it’s basically the same as the SGS28, but bulkier and better materials. It has 316 stainless and food grade plastic. It was designed for sanitation of food manufacturing plants. If you want bulkier I would just get the Mckillans swivel pro and save some money.
I am using the Griots nozzles on my Kranzle K1322ts and am seeing 740psi at the gun. It's interesting you notice the pressure difference as well. If I put in a 3.5 nozzle i see 1000 PSI. Did you happen to check the orifice size with your gauge?
The pin gauges I have only works with circular holes and once you get above 0 degree the hole gets more rectangular. I have not found a consistent way yet to use the pins to check sizing. Seems your nozzle size is consistent with what I was seeing it’s acting like a 4.5.
Keav what kind of air compressor do you have?
Husky 20 gallon
2nd!!!! (1989) “where does he get those wonderful toys”
20% interest Credit Card gets you all the toys. LOL
@@CarsWithKeav 😆😆😆
😜😜😜one of those days psyching yourself out.😜😜😜some days our minds are faster for our mouths to sync 😜😜😜
Those bloopers was only 20% of my struggle with that same sentence too. LOL
hey keav have you tried the mosmatic swivel? i had added the mosmatic swivel to my old sg28, it died and i picked up a sgs35. The sgs35's swivel isn't even close to the mosmatic under pressure. Chem-x has a cool one with an integrated qc, if you wanted to check it out.
Not sure what “isn’t even close” is supposed to mean? No disrespect but I don’t really get it when people try to make such a big deal over something like a swivel. Yes, the mosmatic swivel might be a little smoother but the swivel on the mtm gun works just fine. The price difference just isn’t worth it when referring to the mosmatic.
@@WillieBeamin-t4v"isn't even close" means the difference was night and day, for me. My hose kinks much easier on the mtm than on the mosmatic.
It was a much more significant quality of life upgrade than going from 1.5gpm to 2gpm.
I bought a cheapo Amazon swivel. The upgrade from that to a mtm was just as big of an upgrade from the mtm to mosmatic.
I actually exchanged my first sgs35 because I thought it was defective.
@@CleanerCars sounds like you ended up with a dud or faulty unit there. Have you tried looking into getting them to replace it?
What nozzles do you recommend to be true and accurate? I have an Active 2.3 on order.
I prefer the American made nozzles that are sold at Northern Tool. They have ones made in china as well so make sure to check the packaging. Good thing about the 2.3 is the one they supply is exactly what you need perfect amount of pressure and flow at the 4.6 size they give you.
@@CarsWithKeav Thanks for the replies!! Wish I could have ordered with the code you gave me, but they don’t ship to Canada! I subscribe and I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of watching all of your videos and gathering tonnes of amazing info!! Thanks for what you do!!
@@adamoc2431 Appreciate you watching. I’ll always be in the comments if you have questions. Instagram DM’s as well. Somebody told me they don’t ship to Canada. Best best to get would be Carzilla or TOC.
Ridge washer pressure washer gun trumps them all because it has a trigger lock. Bye bye hand fatigue. I don't care what you say. I use all griots products, I love their stuff, but why buy their gun over the ridgewasher when it isn't as functional?
I have that Ridge Washer and never use it. I found myself still holding tension on the trigger a good bit due to the water flow coming out moving my hand back with the active 2.3. I also would forget and spend an extra few second to unlock it. I just find the SGS28 trigger so easy that I feel like it’s basically locked. I see what you mean though and you have a valid point. Great thing is we have all kind of options to suit what we all need or want.
Nice spray gun but man the price of It Is insane $130 no thanks. I've been using my Harbor Freight for three years and It was $28 bucks.
That’s the way to save some money. They have come out with even better guns now even one with a trigger lock for the same price still. I love Harbor Freight.
Not for $130.. . Griots can keep it
Agreed, I just don’t understand them and their hardware releases the last couple of years.

That spray gun is expensive
For Real!
First!!!
Harbor freight is better
Functionality for sure I think it’s better, but quality of materials is a different story. That’s why it’s so awesome we have so many choices right now.
who tf does Griots think they are charging $35 for ONE rubber nozzle guard?? The MTM doesn't even cost that much. You're way better off getting the Ridge Washer nozzle guards for only $25 and they come with a pack of 4 and they are rubber. Also, that gun is horrendous what were they thinking?! It looks like a cheap $10 amazon gun. That trigger is so bad and I hate the straight right angle design of it. The MTM style angle is the best.
All the nozzle guards are a waste of money. Who the hell ever hit their paint with the tip of their gun? Nobody.
@@Samuelfish2k are you dumb?😭😭😭 you must not be a detailer or a noob that’s never used or owns a short gun. It’s extremely easy to accidentally touch your car with the end of the nozzle when you’re up close to it buddy.
Happens quite often to many I know. They love nozzle guards especially those working in real tight quarters. I see what you mean though in a perfect world nobody drops foam cannons either, but it happens a lot.
I’m with you on the MtM angle I prefer that. I always review from multiple perspectives and many live the straight angle. Not only are they expensive, but very inaccurate for such a price. The Ridge Washers I have are pretty much dead on. It does look like a cheap Amazon spray gun.
@@CarsWithKeav yea I definitely did not expect that from Griots. I used to live in Washington not too far from their Tacoma office so I generally liked Griots but not so much lately. I bought the brilliant finish foam cannon last year and it was atrocious. The metal ball corroded so bad and was nasty looking and literally ate away at the bottom of the plastic bottom and left yellow stained indents all over it. Then the manifold got gunked up super quick and stopped producing even decent foam. Luckily I called griots and they sent me a new bottle, straw, and updated medal ball with a rebuild kit but still not worth it for $64. Luckily I have the MJJC v3 now and love it.
As always, super great review and really really helpful. Thanks so much for your meticulous attention to detail! I love Gross’s products and I am interested but will take a careful look armed with your review Dr. detail from Atlanta thank you.
