Broken Tools...

[SeaJay's]

Well, I've had my bad luck lately with my detailing tools. Nothing major but it's starting to bug me...

My pressure washer went first, which I was expecting and turns out I ended up getting a used one for free and it works better than my original.

Today my foam lance bottle broke. It was a plastic bottle and the plastic screw top broke off. So now I have to find a replacement for that.

Also, my wet/dry vac I think is starting to go.

I guess at least none of my expensive tools are going! That's a plus...just goes to show you get what you pay for.

OK I'm done complaining for the night. :nomore:

Go for her shoes!!! Get her back!!!


OP, once you replace everything, nothing else will break for a while...

Jason,

I feel your pain!

There have been days where I've had the opposite of the King Midas touch, instead of turning everything to gold they turn to $hit......

I have a Karcher PW and the foam cannon for it has the same yellow insert that the nozzle does. It fell out. I went to re-order one and it was back-ordered. I ended up finding it!! Got lucky for once!

Good thing nothing has broke that you actually need

Sorry for your financial loss

It really is kind of funny; the tools I use the least are always the first ones to be broken.

My GG 6" orbital fell off an Impala deck lid last week - busted in a few places. 100% my fault... so, incredibly even more frustrating than something failing.

I've been using my back up PC 7424.

Good news is it gave me a reason to order a Flex. I'm looking forward to Wednesday's AG delivery!

If I can't put 'em back together you may have a deal.

Are you serious?
I know about the lifetime warranty, but this was really a foolish move on my part and more like unintended abuse.

As long as it wasn't intentional is my understanding

Sure wouldn't hurt to try :bolt:

Appreciate the direction, Flash!

If this works I owe you!

I charge a 5% vig fee

I charge a 5% vig fee

That's half of what my bookie charges me.

I'll call Griot's in the morning and tell them what happened and see what they say.

Enjoy your Sunday, and thanks again!

That sucks man! But...I think I've got you beat here.

My mobile van all the sudden wouldn't start last week. I had to replace my sign cause the wind threw it to the ground. My pressure washer is also broken (both heat, and the pump). Unfortunately...all expensive stuff! lol
