Dan@Adams Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Good question! I'll try to explain where each product went the best that I can: Red, white, and blue extension cord - Currently not stocked. Fairly expensive and didn't sell too well. Some dealers may have some in stock though. It's a great extension cord, very thick but still bends ok - I use mine almost daily in my garage. Any votes on bringing it back? Bucket Dolly's - Currently not stocked. Another product that didn't sell too well. Dealers may have these too. Any votes on bringing them back? 3 sizes of wheel woolies - Currently not stocked. To simplify the line, we went to just the Turbo Stick and the one 45-degree angle Wheel Woolie. Between those two tools and the Trim & Lug Nut brush, they will cover cleaning of most wheels out there. Carpet Brush - Replaced by the Cockpit Brush. Softer bristles that are now safe for carpet and leather. Wild2003ss and b_pappy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfxjc Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If any dealers still have a new red/white/blue extension cord in stock I would love to take it off your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessewsmith Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I would love a red, white, and blue extension cord! But it depends on the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Adams Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I would love a red, white, and blue extension cord! But it depends on the price. When we offered them, I'm fairly certain they were $49.99 before any discounts, so basically $1 per foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Bobby Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I vote neither on bringing either of them back personally - especially if they didnt sell well before - you'll get an initial few sales if you do but likely not sustained Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James__ Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) While the red-white-blue extension cord is cool, an extension cord is something that you can get at a hardware store, not something that Adam's is engineering to be the best on the market. If the bucket dollies don't sell, its just not feasible to sell them either. These are also available at some hardware stores or you can buy one from gritguard.com I would much rather see Adam's use money that would be allocated to items like these to, instead, introduce innovative products, re-engineered products, or additional Adam's specific items. It is because of these types of improvements that the products have changed and continued to get better over time, so I vote to keep that up! Maybe re-introduce the Adam's flatbill that wasn't snapback though? I've seen Adam wearing one in a few videos and would like to have one myself haha Edited January 21, 2016 by James__ Rich, Dan@Adams, Bill-V8V and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find the large diameter Wheel Wooley is a good addition to the brushes Adams currently carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild2003ss Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 The different size wheel woolies seem like they wood fit nicely in between grilles to make sure you get in far enough. I've been using a single soft on a stick to fit into the places I need to. I was just thinking it would be easier having the small woolie. Ok the cord I understand and bucket dollies with not being good idea to bring back with no one buying them. The carpet brush you can buy anywhere so I get that to. I was just wondering what happened to them. Thank you as always Dan for answering my question!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Adams Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 No problem! Thanks for the great feedback so far everyone. I too like the idea of focusing more on innovative products, but I also like the idea of having useful accessories that can either improve the detailing process or make things more simple and easy. Don't worry, we're testing some all new products and some new improvements on a few current products...sworn to secrecy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluedogGMC Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 A decent Fire Hose nozzle that was moderately priced would be great. Could even be nylon or plastic as long as it worked well and lasted a while. But the brass would be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading somewhere it wasn't a big seller that's why it was discontinued but I agree with offering a decent on at a decent price.

I didn't mean that they weren't good products, particularly because I'm in the market for some dollies or a good way to stage my buckets, but if they aren't big enough sellers, then looking in to different products that really may be is a good idea!

James__ Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Agree with everything EXCEPT SnapBack flat bill would like a baseball cap. I would like one of these too lol. I like a flatbill while I'm detailing or working on something but I wear around regular ball caps everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Personally, I dont like flat bill hats, never have. I would buy a couple if they were not the flat bill. I know that is the style these days but Im never one for style. cev103, Rich, Feets31 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My white Adam's cap is getting crappy looking and I'd like to replace it. But if not offered, I'll just buy a white cap and cut the emblem off and have the wife sew it on the new one. But I agree........no flatbills for this old guy. Just a nice soft canvas baseball cap......adjustable, and no mesh. That's all I ask. Feets31, 694doorbird and Audog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_pappy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The fire nozzle was great, if pricey. A drawback to being to being American made. Worth every penny though. My mom (92 years old) still hand waters her lawn and hated all the nozzles she had bought. One day I brought her a fire hose nozzle, thinking it might be too bulky for her to use. She loves it! It really is a great nozzle. The three size wheel woolies were another great tool, but seemed pricey to a lot of customers. I still have a few sets in stock, just kind of a slow mover, but a great tool. These products are great, maybe just low volume sellers.

They work on much more than wheels! b_pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I have to say that the new nozzle is great! HEAVY and really nice. This is the kind of nozzle I prefer. Nothing cheap about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
