You can rest assured that I will give you an HONEST Opinion of this, as most on here know I really don't pull any puches. With that being said speficically about this nozzle.

I don't know if it is the next best thing since sliced bread or not, could be or might just be hype. Don't know yet. IF it is all hype then lucky for me Adam's has a 110% guarantee and I can return it. Good for me. If it is really this good, then Good for me. I really don't see how I can lose in this deal, well I guess if they don't ship it and keep my money, oh wait I already have a tracking number, let's just hope they put it in the box. LOL

Seriously, IMHO, Just Mine, If it is high quality, last a long time and is as advertised, I personally do not mind paying a little more. Also I have purchased Zaino, Adam's, Mequires, from Autogeek and a couple of other vendors in this realm ( Detailing ) I can say that with any VENDOR on this site that CUSTOMER SERVICE is a big one with ME and it means a whole lot.

SO time will tell. If it is good I will post, if it is not I will post either way I will have a good product or I will have my money back. Win Win for me. I bought Home Depot quick disconnects if that matters, just cause it was easy 9 months ago, and they still work great. JMHO.

Just ordered one for my brother.

Dr Jkel · 12-24-2010, 08:51 PM

Well mine arrived yesterday and I finally got to use it today.

My first impression was it was heavy and well built. After hooking my quick disconnect to it, not Adam's, I played with it for a bit.

It has good pressure, positive stops with no drips, no leaking and basically a all around great nozzle. I sprayed down the drive and it worked really well.

Then I used it on my car, I was even more impressed. Great coverage, easily adjustable and worked as advertised.

So I guess a win win for me. great product IMHO

Thanx Dr. J. I'll put this nozzle on the list of stuff to buy.

I don't think you will be disappointed, I wasn't. Hopefully it will last a long time, if it lasts as as long as it is well built it will be no problem.

I purchased one of the cheaper ones from Summit racing. I loved it for the first few months. But it has now lost its ability to precisely control the spray pattern. Most of the time you do get what you pay for. I think I will order one of these from Adams.

jshaf · 12-25-2010, 01:50 PM

personally I love autogeek, when someone slams a company you like it is a little personal. good review though. not a fan boy of Adam's but wouldn't slam them either. Adam's went out an found a better alternative to a previous product, good for them!

I had a reaaallllyyy bad customer service experience with autocreeps.. I ate a lot of money in old useless product they sold me and refused a return. I'll never tell anyone not to buy something they want, but for the most part they are a re-seller of other peoples products - I can buy from someone else who will stand behind what they are selling... Now you know why I take stabs at them.

Z/28Dan · 03-15-2014, 06:31 PM

Just wondering if Adam's still sells this nozzle? Couldn't find it on their website.

Carmikaze · 03-15-2014, 06:41 PM

I have used these for the past 4-5 years and have not had to replace one yet. Amazon, eBay, etc.

Try one of their dealers:

Grabiak Chevrolet

Shut off valve

Thompson Racing

Shut off valve

That's what I'm talking about.

Thanks for your help!

Holy crap, $20 for a shut off? You can grab a GOOD one from home depot for less than $10.

Autogeek has 2 fireman sprayers to choose from. One is $20 and the other is $30. Would be good alternatives unless you're just dead set on the Adams version.

dorfmac · 03-16-2014, 07:27 PM

I just actually picked one up at a detail clinic yesterday from an Adam's dealer. Tried it out today and I liked it a lot. Also tried out one of those as seen on TV flexible/stretch hoses - not good at all haha
