When I saw the new HF ad for the spray gun I was hoping you would make this video! Thanks Josh.

Nothing wrong with HF stuff especially for us DIYers, thanks Josh 😁👍

Halfway thru this video I drive to harbor freight and when I got there they had two of each item left and I bought them all😂😂😂😂. Harbor freight elevated their game with getting these

I said the same thing about the hose when I saw it--too short. The gun I didn't realise has a swivel--they don't advertise it as such! That def. makes it a good buy since it does.

Definitely picking that stubby sprayer up for $25👍

They are awesome! I bought the HF 2,300 PSI electric washer with the concrete cleaning attachment (the double jet spinning one) BUT I didn't buy the extension kit. Went back and got the extension kit and it's perfect for me. I use the included long wand with the straight extension on the concrete cleaner and it works great! Perfect height for my 6'1" body. Then I take off the straight extension and use the curved one with the orbital tip and it'll clean up the parts that the concrete spinner missed and with the orbital action and the pressure - it's easy to keep this whole set up hovering off the ground at the perfect height while it does it's work.

I got the extension wands a week ago,they’re perfect! I’m here in North Texas. Great video!!

With the hose, you can buy two of them for the price of the Uber flex. Put a quick disconnect in between them and then you don’t always have to use a cumbersome 50 foot hose.

Oh great thank you 🥳i wanted to check them out.

Thanks for the video Josh. I never thought about using the extension wands, but there's many times during a vehicle wash that the stubby gun doesn't reach areas quite as well as a wand would and these look like a great option. Keep up the awesome work.

Not bad for starting off... As we all have learned, we don't always need name brand.... Good options

I was just looking at HF at some of these. Glad you made a video. Only thing im changing is getting 50 FT hose. Thanks Josh!

Picked up the stubby sprayer today and the extension wands because of your review! Love them both, thanks! Passed on the hose though because I definitely want the 50ft uberflex.

Beautiful Rebel paint, and love the split gate

I may have to check out those extensions 😎

Haha! I just saw these at Harbor Freight sometime last week, and wondered if you were going to do a video on these.

I have the same problem with the active pw and Uber flex hose. I can see it swell and relax when surging. When I use original hose no issue. Definitely the hose

Been wanting a swivel gun so I'll definitely pick that up

I just bought the wands. I put them together to do a high deck and get the outside of the railings from ground. It was decent but a little hard to see was my thing. Siding would be easier for sure. They work fine though for the price 👍🏼

I got the wand extensions about a month ago from my local store. I think it was when they first came out, but I still was able to use one of their discounts (I think it was 10% or 15% at the time). I think they're great for the price, and I haven't had any issues with them.

Nice! I need that sprayer!

Thanks for sharing. That hose looks much nicer than my 50' Uberflex, which I feel kinks and refuses to roll up smoothly. I'll have to pick up that gun the next time I have an applicable coupon.

Damn! Just bought the Mckillin’s gun. I like that trigger lock.

Love that table and sweet truck.

Great video love the wand and the add-ons love my uberflex but I love the black max (uberflex)35 foot from Walmart when I don't need the 50 footer

I have the Ridge Washer stubby and I love it. The price makes this Harbor Freight even better

So i already own a 50-footer hose, and i love it, but sometimes, for a small quick job, i can find it a bit too much, so that 25-footer might do the trick imo. Also, those extensions look very helpful while washing my work rig. Thanks for the video!

I’m about to head there myself. No lie, I’m in love with Harbor Freight!!

Just picked mine up

Great review, thank you. I just bought a new Hyundai Tucson and I’m looking for some detail equipment for my personal use that won’t break the bank..

100% agree on hose length. same probalmne even with midsize suv.

I got the hose extensions about a month ago and the Grants dirt guard. The dirt is a steal for the price(7.99). I got the ridge washer gun with the nozzle holder for $32 (with coupon) on Amazon. Honestly prefer that gun and if it does give out I’ll just switch out the nozzle holder over to the HF one 😁

Great video. Can you please test the Harbor Freight hose on the Active 2.3 to see if it will surge?

I look forward to the HF show and tell videos way to mutch!

Great video, informational as always! Will you being doing a review on the new chemical guys gun

I have the ridge washer gun i love that thing

Got both at my local HB today. They only had them in the back since they hadn’t had a chance to merch them yet.

thanks for the reviews... something to think about. i was considering a stubby gun and foam cannon from Tiktok shop and maybe a hose

The lock-open feature is something all stubby nozzles should have. Useful for when you’re draining the water out of your hoses, since water and air won’t flow through a QD with nothing connected to it.

I think I'll pick up everything n have it as a backup. It does suck that the hose is 25 feet. I picked up the blackmax 35-foot hose from Walmart based on your recommendation. I just checked n they don't sell it anymore. Thank you for your videos. I always learn a little something from these.

My uberflex kinks up and is a pain to deal with and roll up. This hose looks amazing. I had to stretch my uberflex hose out and put weights at either end because it wanted to keep it's circled up shape from the box it came in. Was such a pain.

Cool video. I put grease on the o-rings

The gun with the swivel at the bottom is a game changer at this price range!

Great job

I like the idea of the extentions because I bought the McGuires stubby nozzle with a quick connect to an Uberflex and finally my Husqvarna PW-2000 electric washer. Could you recommend a good hose reel that I could attach to the PW cart?

Damnit!!! I just picked up one of the other stubby pressure washer guns you’ve reviewed in the past. Even though it was one of the cheaper models, it was still a fair bit more expensive than the Harbor Freight stubby!

Well done

Can you review the Raincovo Stubby Gun next? Same price point as this one but it's supposedly all stainless and has a built in swivel aswell. Love the vids.

Really love harbor freight I hope they come out with a high gpm pressure washer and carry a bigger line from megs or p&s

Josh quick question I want to build a pressure washing cart for detailing I'm thinking about getting the active 2.3 I really want the AR blue but I don't have 20 amp circuit do you think a 75 ft hose reel would be too excessive to go around a car or is a 50 ft hose reel better?

Might you get around both sides with the washer in the middle of the two doors?

Jamie is waiting for the HF foam cannon! Hahahaha looks solid for the price

Were you able to fix your minor leaking issue on the swivel? I had the exact same issue when first using the set up today. Does extra teflon help alleviate that issue?

Josh you are the bomb. I got my hose from Walmart branded 30' that is uberflex. This gun I am buying tomorrow, from HF did not know it had the swivel. With the coupons this is a steal.

Can you compare the Ridge (and the HF) to the McKillans swivel (the 60$ one)

Josh, can you do a review on the Ryobi 40V 1200 PSI 1.0 GPM Cordless Electric Cold Water Pressure Washer? I realize it might be a little underpowered but curious if it is enough to adequately/reasonably foam a car.

I’m gonna have to try the stubby gun. I love my MTM, but it doesn’t have a swivel or trigger lock. I think any pressure washer hose less than 50ft is worthless, not sure where they thought that was acceptable.

Until I can buy a new one, right now I have a SUN-JOE my wife picked up for my birthday or Christmas one year and I tried to purchase a new non-kink hose but it was not the right connection on the one side. Do you recommend any non kink hoses for the Sun-Joe?

@imjoshv in your Professional opinion, what would you consider to be the best electric power Washer to purchase with the most PSI if possible. And for normal use such as driveway, fencing, garage doors car And house. There's just too many options and i'm not really sure.

Find a local hose shop they'll build you whatever length you want but your limiter will be that pressure washer the pump doesn't have enough head to push much further than 25' at a PSI that will clean anything.

The specification on the hose says it is "Steel wire braided PVC"...wonder if it would surge with the Active 2.3?

Does the swivel on the gun work when you are spraying?

do you know what fitting i need for the uberflex hose with sunjoe spx3001?

I’d take my new ridge washer over the HF one because of the stainless front fittings. Looks like Josh has the older ridge washer gun.

Those wand extensions are priced right, wait for HF coupon sale under $20 items

I’ve had an Uberflex hose for a while and lately it’s been kinking, twisting and has memory badly when empty. I’ve placed it in the Sun straightened for a day and it still kinks. Any tips?

OK very cool vid....love it!! Thanks!! Am I wrong in my perceptions here? It seems to me like you really love the hose construction but not so much the length. Which you said numerous times. However you spent so much time talking about the hose that you seem MORE impressed with that than the stubby gun. BUT here's where it gets confusing to me. In your past vids that I've seen, this gun seems to check every box for you. It has a built in swivel, stubby, trigger lock for storage, trigger lock while in use with a squeeze release. Handles high pressure. BUT you seemed to spend more time on the hose than the gun giving me the impression you were more impressed with the hose than the gun. Am I wrong here?? Also would love to hear your experience with a whole HF build. The 2,300 electric pressure washer, the new hose, the included wand and new stubby gun, the extensions, the additional tips package (not just the few that come with the 2,300), the foam cannon and their concrete attachment. I'd like to hear your take on all these working together, what you would change to improve the system, how it rates for home use, how it rates for commercial use and all that and most importantly if you would recommend that build to someone just getting started in pressure washing or if there are better options out there.....I mean their hassle free, life time warranty on certain things is attractive. Not sure how much of these components would be covered by that. Anyways - love the channel. Keep up the great work.

For a truck owner yes the hose is too short but for a compact vehicle or a two door sport car the hose is more than enough

Don't forget about the 35' Hart hose from Walmart (which is uberflex red) is about $1.08/ft.

I have an active ve52 with a 35ft uberflex. I have no problems with surging. My washer/dryer/ac may make the lights dim but not the active and never tripped a breaker I think I read it’s mainly the 50ft that might do that.

​@@nickydexgg4579 I recommend you switch to a single wire hose like Active recommends. I also own an Active VE52 and used it with a 50' Uberflex hose. Mine also surged a little, then it started to surge a little more often until the stop system no longer worked. When the stop system goes, the pump dies pretty fast afterwards and you're left with a $200 brick. It wasn't a leak, I plugged the same hose and gun into my new PW, it can sit for hours and won't cycle.

Does the gun swivel under pressure?

I'm having tons of issues with my Uberflex, stays coiled and figure 8 tangled up inside itself. no matter what I do it always snake coils back up on itself. about to give up on that brand.

Just so everyone here knows. The uberflex hose is ok. Just ok. It’s not some worldly hose. It’s heavy when under pressure. The coating on the hose is not really durable. It doesn’t kink, but if you have it on a reel it has a ton of memory. Meaning it will lay on the ground in the shape it comes off the real. I actually am looking into the flexzilla or other pressure washer hoses because the uberflex has been so average. Also, companies like active do not recommend using uberflex type hoses. They recommend using there hose to the desired pressure.
