Thanks for the orders so far guys!!

And I received a letter yesterday regarding these oddly enough. There is going to be a 7% price increase on these starting Sept. 1, so the timing on this worked out well!

I love my foam gun! I picked it up about 2-3 months ago and it is the best thing! Use a smaller tip before you use a big one. it's an easy way to waste car wash soap! its so much fun to use and the looks you get when you have your car completely soaked in suds is awesome.

This item is meant for your regular house hose. There were a few people talking about using it with a pressure washer, but to do that, they would need a different foam sprayer.

Correct, this is for a standard garden hose.

What is the benefit of this gun over the one from Gilmore?

I had a foamaster gun so I can give you my opinions. Take them for what they're worth. First thing I noted was the overall shape. The foamaster is taller/more narrow, whereas this one is wider and lower. Not a big deal really, but felt this was more stable when placed on the ground, thus being less likely to tip over. Second,.. the proportioners. I believe the foamaster has 5 (might be 6). This one has 15. Basically you can adjust and fine tune it until your hearts content. Staying on the proportioner topic, the foamaster is on top while these are placed under the canon. I think it makes for a cleaner appearance and less clutter around the top of the gun. I also did find it a little touchy to get the foamaster slide in place sometimes. Although this one might take an extra minute to change the proportioner initially, once you find the tip you want to use, you never have to see it again if you dont want to. Again, most of the guys are using a green tip, or one/two tips in either direction depending on the consistency of the soapy they're using. One thing I'm not sure about is the replacement parts available for the foamaster. I didnt keep it long enough to really inspect, but I know if the quick disconnect on the pistol handle goes for some reason, they're easily replaceable on this unit (I've had one quick disconnect piece out of about 250+ guns sold over the past 2 years where I had to send the guy a new one). Simply unscrew the quick disconnect from the pistol handle and screw the new one on. Very easy. All other pieces are also available just in case you run it over or something, lol. The foamaster does have some brass pieces whereas this one is all a plastic composite. Those are the main differences I noted. Fwiw, I gave the foamaster to my father and now use this one exclusively
