Tool

(noun)

Anything used as a means of accomplishing a task or purpose.




Sometimes it's nice to not only have a tool that gives you the means necessary to complete a task, but to make the task more enjoyable for the user. A loud stereo or 24" wheels is not essential for transportation, but we do so because cars are our passion, and we like to make the experience of driving more enjoyable. We could all drive around in white sub-compact cars and forgo the air conditioning, stereo, aluminum wheels, and just utilize a car for what it is designed for - transportation. But very few of us do so.

You can often take something that you enjoy doing and make it more enjoyable by giving yourself more than just the basic tools to get the job done. Most define such a thing as a luxury. Every now and then you can give yourself a luxury and not feel bad about it, because it makes the hobby or task more enjoyable.






Yesterday I had some hands-on experience with the new Industrial High Flow Fireman's Nozzle. We're always on the look out for the latest and greatest tools and accessories that make our hobby, and yours, more enjoyable. The hobby (also known as a passion for some) is car care!







The Industrial High Flow Fireman's Nozzle is a cool tool to have in your car care arsenal. With 300% more flow than a standard hose nozzle, this tool allows you to make the most of your water pressure. The nozzle is not your typical flimsy plastic nozzle that most of us are accustomed to. It features a housing made of die-cast zinc with a metal shut-off handle. With the adjustable spray pattern and Gripguard insulated handle, it makes washing your car a breeze.






I wasn't simply going to sit here all day and look at the new nozzle, I wanted hands on experience. I'm all for a tool that not only does the job well, but exceptionally well, while making it more fun and enjoyable.






Pull the large metal shut off handle and you're instantly greeted with a strong jet of water. No need to worry about the nozzle slipping out of wet hands that are covered in your favorite shampoo, because with the Gripguard insulated handle, you can rest assure the nozzle won't be going anywhere.






Do you need a fine mist to rinse off your car or to water your plants? Not a worry, the Industrial High Flow Fireman's Nozzle has a wide range of adjustment from a strong jet of water to a ultra fine mist.






Tools such as the Industrial High Flow Fireman's Nozzle complete the task they're designed to, but also make that task fun, easier, and more enjoyable because of unique attributes that make them so desirable. So go ahead and spoil yourself every now and then and take something that you already enjoy doing, and make it better.

Another nice feature worth adding is the Brass Connector Shut Off Valve along with the Brass Quick Connector Set. The shut off valve enables you to shut off the flow of water before it reaches the nozzle. This makes it convenient to unscrew the nozzle without having to turn the water off at the source. To really make it convenient, the quick connects enable you to change nozzles and other accessories without having to unscrew anything.

What's nice about the Quick Connects is that you can twist the nozzle. It's not stuck in one stationary position.





Real simple to disconnect

Nick is right. Quick/Disconnect and Shut off valve are a must. I bought them for my personal use and love it. I bought the extra connections as well and have one on a pressure washer, nozzles, and foamer. Makes life easy.

I ended up taking one home last night to play around with some more. The wide range of adjustments along with the high-pressure makes blasting wheel cleaner out of nooks and crannies of wheels a breeze.
