What they say

Yep. So there you go. That's pretty dang cool. Absolutely love it. Here's the device. Another thing is people are going to say it's just going to add a lot of weight to your gun. That's just going to end up fatiguing you and stuff. I got to say, I've been using it, spraying new construction now, every day for I think I was going on like 18 days in a row now. It doesn't add really hardly anything to your gun. I don't even notice it even being there. There it is. The fan pivot. You're absolutely going to love it. So, how much does this thing cost? I think I don't know. It's worth probably 150 bucks. What does it cost? So, the actual MSRP is $39.95. $39.95. Yep. And if you keep in mind that you can service it yourself and you'll get a lot of years of use out of it at really no additional cost, it really pays for itself in the increase in productivity. Absolutely. There you go. Anything to make your life easier as a painter to be faster, efficient, and safer. There you go. The fan pivot. So at the fan pivot, look at that. Flips 90° just with a flick of a finger. That quick and easy. You don't have to take and put your hand over the guard to turn the guard, manipulate the guard, which is extremely dangerous because of injection hazard possibilities. And I don't have to get anywhere in front. I can just quickly turn it 90°. Check it out. 90°. That fast. Simple and easy. We love fast and efficient. It's the fan pivot. It's now available. Finally came out. This is not a prototype anymore.
