Thanks!

The reversable endcap/crown seems like a damn good idea. Thank you for the review.

This brush looks very much like the Badger 105, is it just a re-badge or is it very different to the 105.

Paul

Thanks Darren- the end cap idea certainly means you won't lose it from putting it down somewhere to expose the needle!

Paul- I've never used the 105 but I can see some similarities- I doubt it is simple a re-badge but it might share some components.

The trigger is set up differently than the 105. Internal parts and the nozzle end assembly are also different parts. Similar operating style and appearance.

Karl, I assume "no box" is because this is a review sample. When I got my velocity from them last year it was in a proper hard case.

Roman's correct that these are not retail packaged and were "bare bone" except for the hose and quick release, although I'm not sure if the Omni comes with a case (I didn't see anything online that would lead me to think it did). I would think a wrench would be provided for it though.

Excellent review Karl, you asked and answered some important questions

Thanks guys!

Roman- I would usually assume that, as you said, it would come without a box because it was only a review sample but when I looked the Omni 4000 up to see prices etc, I didn't see or read any mention of a box with it. My Krome came in a nice box too, so I would be fairly surprised if the Omni didn't come in a box- but there doesn't seem to be any seller that says whether it does or not.
