I know I know I have spoken highly of one brand in the past.


I bought five for my Mach 15 with 1/2 inch extenders.

I usually have to pull the spring and ball 3 months in every time I buy these.

They have a screen and still will stop spraying.

My helpers never notice 2 jets aren't working.

So is there a better dripless jet????

I like the jets on toms wand no blockage or spray pattern issues at all.

I put a screen before the valve and I never check it anymore. Checked it a couple times early on and got some crap. But since then it hasn't been an issue.

Using fresh water from my house and only my house has kept my system clean. As far as dripless jets go I don't know but it seems when my PC quad and my bane drip a lot less when the trigger valve is good.

The bane always leaked until I put the feather touch I got in the group buy on, regardless of the ball and spring. I don't think they seat properly no matter what.

I do the same, usually use a 100 mesh filter before the valve. I also use filter screens on the wands that have tee jets. I tried the ball and spring thingy's but found they seemed to clog up and fail easily. When the wand is dripping, it is usually the valve. I always have a shut off valve on the hose going to the wand. I think the high heat units cause failure in the valves. My portable wand never drips.

It's the springs sliding around is my guess

It's probably due to some super wand valve Tom gets from Venus or somewhere
Just curious, how are you guys liking the valve?
I personally like it, it seems to be holding up well, no leaks so far. No body has called yet with any leaks, so that is good.
But how do you all like the feel of it?

Also some that think the reach to the valve is to far for your fingers, you can take a socket extension and place it between the trigger and the tube and give it a little squeeze, it will bend the trigger pull and make the grab reach a little closer to the tube for smaller hands

Our industry needs a jet designed just for us.

With a rubber internal check valve that can withstand the abuse
My pressure washing wand doesn't drip. And the jets are on QDs. I thought that would be a good design too.
