Absolute genius......I just bought the 765 and it’s a great machine . Was looking at the options out there for smaller nozzles and all of them would cost in the 100 dollar CDN range. The hundred bucks is not the issue it’s that those options are crap. The obsessed garage one is a clunky clumsy stupid design that looks awful. The stubby nozzle co. one looks great but is just thin plastic with no positive locking mechanism like the oem. I would not trust that around my C8. They say it won’t fly off like a North Korean nuke...so let them use it on their own dam cars. Then I saw your video ...... brilliant ! I actually cut 1/2 inch off both ends just to get a larger mating surface and on the 765 you don’t need to cut that small reducing ring as the end cut almost fits in the base cut , some sanding of the pieces and a good clean up took care of that for a vert snug fit . I used 30 minute epoxy and now i have an end result that is just like it was made by EGO specifically for that machine . Beautiful mechanical locking of all the parts and looks like it was bought that way . And it didn’t cost me a dime or having to wait a week or more for the order to come in. Thank you shop tool reviews for making this fantastic video .
Another idea for you from over the pond (UK). I have ordered the gutter cleaning set AGC1000 (£40) and will use the first part and attach it to the machine. Looks similar but without the option of attaching the tips. For those like me - pen pushers who can't quite cut in a straight line...
I agree I was on the EGO website and retailers here in the USA are selling the gutter cleaning set for less or equal to some of the internet venders with their stubbies
Indeed, I was going to mention the same thing. Before the unit was modified, the bore was smooth as the circumference was sized down gradually. Even taping the inside where it was modified should help, but it's to gauge how significant without measuring the output.
Go for it! You will love it. Make sure you rough-up the surface that will be expoxied, and make sure that you use some quality epoxy. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Isn't the ridge inside on the cone now disrupting the airflow? You could either fill that in with epoxy to make it a smooth internal surface, or 3D print the entire cone to replace it. I've seen several other EGO users having the stubby cone printed.
You can easily make additional noses from a sheet of 1 mm Lexan. Is done in 5 minutes and you keep the original nose intact. With hot air you can form an oval tip as well.
@@Shoptoolreviews We make Lexan cockpit windows for velomobiles with vacuum. For these nosecones we simple rol a sheet of Lexan, tape it into a cone and place it on the Ego with two reusable tie wraps.

I used a Dremel to cut my tube and it was close enough for government work. Had to do some grinding/sanding of the little ring to get it to fit. Used some epoxy I had lying around; works as good as any
Would love to see you take this to the next level and make it possible to hook a hose to it. Would love to mount it on my wall and just have a small hose to walk around the car with!
@@Shoptoolreviews Exactly! Check out this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BCXzaZciyUk.html&ab_channel=ESOTERIC would love to get this kind of set up going.
Not sure who your detailer is but should let the detailer know about the bigboi blower or masterblaster. Both tools are made specifically for automotive detailing. Tell ‘em to leave the lawn care tools for when it’s time to do yard work.
I have the Master blaster but would still prefer the ego with stubby attachment much faster and easier. If Matt at obsessed garage prefers the ego you know that's the way to go 🌪️
Definitely, It not only blows the majority of water off the car quickly, but it also lessens the amout of contact driving from a towel. Thanks for watching.
@@matthewheffernan3877 sure, but it looks too difficult for me, and requires tools and the space to do it - I'd prefer to pay someone to do it for me. I might actually put it out on Airtasker actually.
@@Shoptoolreviews Did EGO respond to you? This type of adapter suits car blowing to a "T"! I was just down in my bsmt. trying to figure how to do this. Thanks!
@@Shoptoolreviews actually was able to find a replacement tube so I will be doing this until obsesses garage sells their version , thanks for the video
I was going to say the same thing. Of course, then they wouldn't be able to use the two different end pieces but I do wonder if just using the Ego without any blower tube would work just as well. Still, it was fun to watch the video!
