First wash

He never intended on selling anything but high end machines. However, I think he realized that his reach would be limited with that approach. At some point he acknowledged that, as he said himself, there is a "progression" to life. So while he is in a position to have the best of the best, he knows that wasn't always the case. That's where the addition of lower priced machines and packages came into being.

Rather than compete directly with the box stores selling pressure washers at rock bottom prices, he chose a selection of machines ranging in price, then did all the hard work figuring out what parts and fittings were needed to make each of those units perform at their best. Then, if/when the customer wanted to upgrade, things like those hose, gun, reel, nozzles ect could be transferred.

So while he will never be the cheapest on the market, there is value to those higher prices. Most people can't see that.

I guess I can somewhat agree that if you are someone who isn’t in to doing your own research or understanding

Maybe you should listen to his explanation of how he developed his version instead of speculating. Either way, it doesn’t matter one iota who did what when.

Oh, you thought I wasn’t able to hear his explanation? I saw the video where he attempted to have viewers believe that the mosmatic gun with his brand was some revolutionary upgraded model but after having the opportunity to test it myself and take it apart I was able to compare it to the original model which is how I was able to tell you what the actual difference was. Similar to yourself I do my best to avoid making speculations which is also why I chose my handle. Somewhat ironic that followers of a group named “obsessed garage” would blindly follow a self proclaimed expert while being told what they should want to buy and spend their money on instead of diving deep in search of the info themselves. I was weary as soon as I heard say things like we should just trust and follow him when making purchasing decisions and that we need not to search elsewhere.

No, Matt took the MTM SGS28 and improved on their design significantly and had it built by Mosmatic it’s known as the OG Spec sprayer. It’s not built by MTM.

The SG28 was the starting point, which existed within the MTM lineup but didn't have a swivel. He then had MTM install the swivel, stainless internals and stainless screws, which created the SGS28. He asked MTM to make this for him because of having difficulty getting enough stock of the Mosmatic stuff, but didn't have the clout to commit to exclusivity, so everyone sells it now.

This video explains the story of the Mosmatic Original, Mosmatic OG-Spec and MTM SGS28 guns.



This one explains the SGS28 and Mosmatic -



In any case, all three guns are class leaders. I find the MTM has a smoother, progressive trigger action, the Mosmatic a more positive, switch-like feel. I also like the Mosmatic's slimmer profile.

I have no doubt that Matt provided mtm with feedback on what he would like in a pw gun. During this period mtm was one of the better brands when it came to finding out what their customers wanted and they did this by listening to suggestions not just from Matt. If he was the sole reason they would have mentioned it or provided him exclusive sales rights. I am sure the videos you posted will say otherwise but as I mentioned in an earlier comment it’s hard to find his words credible after knowing some of the stories he has told and questionable business practices.

It’s one of these.

That's what I thought but I don't recall ever hearing the term "short gun." I guess I shouldn't be surprised since it's just the gun without the lance. Why bother? I don't get it.

As for the swivel, etc., I like the OG gun a lot and as for who did what when, who cares?

I'm guessing you are the foam cannon on the end of the lance?

The beauty of the short gun/stubby gun is the ability to remove the lance to make foaming and wheel cleaning more ergonomic. You then don't have all that weight of a full foam cannon winging from the end of your want.

Foam Cannon -



Wheels -



Rinsing with the wand -



In each of the above, this is the OG-spec Mosmatic gun, OG-spec wand and OG-spec nozzles. I also have the MTM SGS28, but the Mosmatic swivel and quick connects are a significant upgrade over the MTM fittings, way smoother in the connection and swivel action.

it’s a great gun for sure but $200 for it when you can basically get the exact same gun for more than half the price it’s hard to justify paying that much more was all I was trying to say. The only difference being is that the og gun inlet is about 1/2” shorter.

I can see benefits both ways as far as ergonomics when using a foam cannon. In some hard to reach spots using the extended lance would make things easier and other instances not using one would help with the decrease in weight like you mentioned. Besides the ergonomics when comparing both options I don’t believe it makes a difference with the end result as both options will produce the same foaming results or will they differ?

I have to admit, I love love my PW setup from OG. The short gun and wand with the rubberized tip.. the quick disconnect quality, the Cox reel mounted unto the wall.. it's all just the bomb.
Regardless of what any of us think of Matt the "OG Guy" he does bring some pretty cool ideas and products to the table. Everyone has something positive to offer if we look hard enough and have an open mind.
It's made my washing routine a lot easier.
As Zig Ziglar used to say.. "you can everything you want out of life it you just help enough other people get what they want"
