The Third Hand

[fire350]

Thinking about purchasing a product called "The Third Hand"

Any input or reviews on this product?

I don't care for it. I switched guns to a model that has an easier squeeze, which is less fatiguing.

Tony,

What brand and model trigger gun do you prefer?

 

[Tim Lynch]

My gun is called a break away gun. I can hold the trigger with my pinky at 3000 psi all day long if I wanted too. Its a german made gun forgot the name it's in my truck. Have had it for years ( ST 4600 ) somthing like that, its also setup for easy flat work the angle that is.

I bought another lite trigger gun but it points down to much and its just not a break away. ( Break Away Meaning once you pull the trigger to a certain point it completely snaps to the gun and by-passes the pressure.

I would love to get another one Mark maybe you have such an animal?

The current easy-pull gun is an ST-2305. You can get them for as little as $19. I don't know if that is the break-way that Tim is talking about.

Fire 350,
Never saw a need for the third hand.
We use nylon ties for locking the trigger open.
You adjust the tie with the trigger squeezed.
When you need to release the trigger slide the tie up and the trigger releases.
Some folks use tennis balls.
This also helps during start up. Engage the tie and remove nozzle and start up will be much easier if you don't have electric start.

Mark,
I don't know the brand, but it is orange, and marked A-35. I ordered them from you a couple months ago. They are very smooth operating, and easy on the hand.

I also like the Suttner that comes with the ExtendaWand.

You must be referring to the AL35 Trigger Gun, which is manufactured in Italy by Arrowline, and sold in the US by AR North America, it is a popular gun.

That's the gun. Very comfortable, easy to pull trigger. Does it also come in black?

I've had some guns that required alot more squeeze force to operate.

A good quality gun makes a big difference in both comfort and longevity.
