Video: Adam's Fire Hose Nozzle





I shot a quick video review of the new Adam's fire hose nozzle for anyone on the fence. This thing is seriously awesome, $49.95(Nozzle only), and $64.95(combo nozzle and cut off valve) it's a lot of coin to drop on a hose nozzle; but in comparison to the Griots premium nozzle $89.99 (nozzle), $129.99 (combo nozzle and valve). The Adam's nozzle is by far the nicest nozzle I have ever had my hands on, I never wanted to spend the money on the Griot's premium nozzle; the Adam's nozzle comes in at half the price. Adam's doesn't do cheap - they proved it with this nozzle. 100% made in the USA billet aluminum quality machined parts... If the cheapie nozzles that break after a year or two aren't cutting it for you or they don't have enough pressure for you - grab one of these Adam's combo's.

I do have to warn you guys - this thing puts out such an intense stream of water I wouldn't use the jet stream setting directly on the paint. I never rinse my car with a jet stream of water anyways, I always use a mist to rinse the car and this nozzle offers the best mist I've had out of any hose nozzle.

Nice vid Ryan!! Thanks for doing that.... it is really amazing how much more pressure that nozzle puts out. Quality construction and materials FTW!!

Notice even how uniform the spray pattern is and how much wider the fan spray is!

That does look impressive. I've purchased two firehose nozzles and neither one was worth a crap after a few uses. They would loose the ability to adjust to any type of spray. I saw the Adams nozzle on their website a while ago. My thought was oh great a high dollar firehose nozzle that is probably the same as the ones I've thrown away. But that video has me thinking this one may be different. Wonder if the aluminum will pit when used with hard water?

The aluminum will last a very long time b/c its actually hardcoated, not just raw.

What an absolutely class-less thread

..in so far an implying that a competitor of Adam's products sold cheap junk. Its one thing to recommend a product....without the need to reference the competition in such a class-less way.
