As valued customers, we’d like to bring to your attention that an inferior lookalike Fake RB65 wash down gun has reached the Australian market.

These guns look similar to the RB65, but are cheaply manufactured with poor quality engineering and construction, leading to usability and reliability problems.

Please note that there are key differences when you look at and hold the gun. The inferior lookalike gun shown on the right hand side of these images threaten to damage the excellent reputation built up by the RB65 which we have supplied for over 10 years.  Please be aware when you purchase your next wash down gun – the copies have been made in blue and red, like the original RB65, but the difference in quality is easily visible.

We have tested the lookalike, and made the following observations. Protect yourself against cheap copies
