I came to this gun after being disgusted with the Bar gun (Suttner 2300) which has a “swivel” like a bike with welded-on “wheels”. In my opinion it is no more useful than a gun without a swivel. Paying a lot more for a useless part is not cool. Great gun otherwise, just buy the non-swivel version. Thankfully Detail Store helped me out with the return (thanks DS).
What a contrast the Mosmatic is.
This gun is a Suttner 2600 with stainless Mosmatic swivel, qc and plug. The swivel is so good. It just works - including under full pressure.
I find I don’t notice the gun in use (except the weight, but it’s worth it for the swivel) and I can just focus on what I’m cleaning. The hose just magically untangles when connected to this gun. It makes such a difference. That’s worth a lot to me.
It’s actually very good value. As part of the $300 you are also paying for the t304 stainless Mosmatic qc (worth $80) and plug (almost $20) so it’s a good deal except you have no choice re spending the extra $100. They are as good as you’d expect for that money. So you’re basically getting the obsessed garage version of the gun, but with bsp threads, except without the recessed swivel (probably better for maintenance anyway). And see photo showing gun attached to the (very good) clean skin connector. Still pretty short.
Usually the of law of diminishing returns applies as you move up in price ranges for goods. Not so with this gun. At twice the price of others, it’s 20 times as good. If…
