Default Gilmour foam gun difference (home/auto)?

When looking at these foam guns on Amazon they have some listed for home/garden use that are an average of about $20 cheaper than the ones specifically for automotive use but I can't find any differences. I don't doubt this has been covered on this forum already but I couldn't find anything from searching.

Is the orfice in the nozzle different or something? Thanks.

Do the home/garden ones have the adjustable dials to measure the soap ratio you are going to use?

Yeah, from what I can tell they are identical unless Amazon is just using the same stock photo for two different products?

Very weird, at first I thought you were refering to a simple mixer/sprayer, but that appears to be the Foam Master II.

They are identical. Gilmour makes them for different retailers....same parts and all. Go for the less expensive one since it is the same.

Foam/Wash Guns

Foamaster®

Foamaster® II

There seem to be even more of these on the market than on their home page.
