Wal-mart cheap foam gun alternative (clearance)

Picked one up for $3 a few days ago. Just thought I'd let people who want to try the whole foam thing without dropping the $40 or $50 (I know it's not nearly the same, but it's worth the $3). Here are a few pics of it in action. If anyone is interested I can post a picture of the nozzel later today.

The only thing bad is that gun doesn't have the foam making capabilities. It is simply a gun that mixes the solution and water. The actual foam guns are designed to create a foaming action.

Cool

Is it a wash nozzle sprayer or a garden chemical sprayer?

Cheap wash nozzle sprayers mix the soap and water by flooding the soap reservoir so the soap concentration changes as you go, too strong at first and near zero after a short time.


PC.

it's just a nozzel, I just thought for the $3 it might be worth a try. I know it's not really the same. But it gives people an idea of what a foam gun is like, if they don't have or wan to spend the extra on a real foamer.

Cool

Hey, for three bucks it’s worth a shot.

Actually, I have one and I do use it occasionally. It’s easier and faster to load and clean up than the foam gun. There are times when I don’t need the “hang time” of foam or the huge volume of suds the foam gun delivers. If I just need to throw some soapy water around I’ll use it.

I bought one at Wal-Mart, used it once, and junked it. Aside from doing what The Other PC described, it leaked!
