Air Engine Cleaning Gun Tool

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I operate a small engine shop. And from time to time, I will come across engines which are extremely dirty, and or have caked on oil. I like to consider myself unique, because not only will I work on a piece of equipment and get it going, I like to clean it up as well. A happy customer means everything in my line of work, so I am happy to please.

The engine cleaning gun basically looks like its a welding torch, with a 1/4" tube coming out the back of it. It i s designed to use your choice of detergent from the flexible clear pickup tube, and compressed air from your air compressor. I like to run my gun at 60-PSI and no higher, be sure to wear eye protection and a dust mask.

EXPERIENCE: While this gun does clean the engine from dirt and oil, it however lacks the force needed to remove caked on oil. You end up having to combine the gun with a rag or scrub brush. I think I could get better results with a carburetor cleaner. The main thing is, this tool does indeed expedite my cleaning process for most engines. I usually can get them clean as in brand new.

NOTE: Higher pressures does not seem to help the gun any, if only creates a cloud of detergent in the air, if not wearing a dust mask or respirator, can cause you to begin to cough as the vapors attack your lungs. So keep it 60-PSI or bellow using your compressor regulator.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, I think this is a good gun, worth the purchase pr ice, and is definitely useful. But if your buying this thinking its going to be a magical cleaning wonder, you can forget it. All in all, I give this a 3 out of 5.
