Yes I do !!! I bought two of them from orangeonions. Look at the pics in post 104 in this thread of my modded Ryobi batteries

Here`s an easier battery mod. I`m going to cut the length of the cord too and

place the battery in a Ziploc plastic bag with velcro straps or rubber bands...

I have a couple of these batteries as well but haven`t tried them as I know that the Ryobi`s were definittly going to work. I will give these a try and see if the discharge as fast as yours

** Update tried my B&D 18 volt batts today and it work as well as the Ryobi`s so I yours are discharging fast you may have a defective pack**

Instead of using HD FREE or ONR, I think HD TOTAL with the Nomad would do

a better cleaning job. Then fllow up with HD FREE by hand.

So what does everyone think about the product?

I live in a condo and it could definitely be useful!

I would probably use it to pre-soak the car before using ONR. It would also be useful for the fender liner and wheels.

I agree with rwisejr 100%. We live in a townhouse with limited access to a water supply. I used the Nomad twice in my garage since I got it. It works so well, I ordered a backup in case the first one craps out:lol

Couldn`t resist. Just purchased one. I wonder if the 1-year warranty still applies?

Not the same fittings and most likely does not spray enough water. When you spray the Nomad, the stream is very thin, much thinner than a stream our of your hose.

Thanks for the heads up DavidB. Just ordered one !!!

**bfhammer** · 10-12-2009, 05:17 PM

I got 3 of them to take advantage of the free shipping and used the coupon code and paid 104 all together. They just arrived today. I got one for me one for a buddy, and one to resell on ebay for 125 bucks when everyone else runs out.

I have a foam gun for my garden hose that works great.:nixweiss I think it is the Gilmour? I thought that maybe it might work with this tool because it works with my regular hose on regular well pressure.

However, I want to get the foam cannon or foam lance for my pressure washer.
