Post by: duncan h on March 24, 2016, 08:15:34 pm
used Gardiner jets for a few years now. nothing wrong with then, but they are very weak. Snap them all the time.
There is some better ones that people post about. Any links

Nothing wrong with them  ?  :D
Yeah they are weak - need full flow and snap all the time.
I changed to these - pricey but they are so much better.

Didn't buy them from here , another cleaner I know added some to his order for me, think I paid £6 each - not sure where from though.

I've just fitted these (blue ones).

Been in the garage for longer than I care to remember; fitted them to my medium mixed 0 degree, Gardiners brush.

Best fan jets hands down.

I don't think I'd trust them in a soft brush as I'd be afraid of plastic body of fan gets scratching glass.
(the design of these fan jets makes them protrude 5 plus mm from brush stock.

Where as Gardiners fan jets hardly protrude at all.

I've never had a gardiner fan jet snap on me yet and that's dangling the pole hose on the outside of the pole too as I prefer to have it setup that way.

Well I have and so has Duncan by the sound of things. I use quick lock and never had a problem with it getting stuck - that's not to say others haven't had that happen.
