Review on Revamp Your Cleaning Routine with OTC 6043 Blast-Vac Multipurpose Cleaning Gun by Peter Hallett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Compressed air couldn't be better for thorough cleaning of coolant passages! Genuine OEM brand received

Mine came as in the photo Original OEM branded product. It doesn't come with an air connector, so be prepared to pull one out or buy one. The smallest end of the nozzle was too big to fit into my Impala SS 96's heater core hoses, I was disappointed to see that. The quick connect hose fitting has a bit of a leak as others have mentioned, but it's really minor and not a problem. Despite all these complaints, I was very impressed with the functionality of this device. Before using the airflow feature, run water through both sides of my cooling system until it runs clean. With short bursts of air, the outlet turned out to be dirty again! I was amazed at how much more dirt I pulled out with the air pressure feature. (NOTE: You just need to set the pressure regulator on your compressor to 50psi, he recommends 100psi, but it's not necessary and 100psi will likely damage your heater core.) If if if they made the tip of the nozzle a bit smaller so I did could build it into the core of my heater, that would be a 5 star rating!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was
