Swivel at bottom so no more tangled hose. Stainless steel connects so no rusting and generally hold up longer than brass. Light pull trigger which is huge is you're a pro or wash multiple cars/often enough. Tip holder In Handle so no more losing/looking for a lost tip. Great warranty. Any problems- reach out and they make it right.
McKillans Swivel Gun Pro is a compact pressure washer gun built for easier car washing, with a freer swivel, lighter trigger pull, and quick disconnect fittings that help keep hoses from tangling. The handle also includes a tip holder, and the stainless steel connections are framed as a rust resistant upgrade with solid warranty support. The short pistol style body can be easier to control around paint, though the swivel has been called ineffective once pressure is applied. Price also draws pushback, especially versus cheaper alternatives.
Car detailers washing multiple vehicles, because the light trigger and free swivel reduce hand strain and hose tangles.
Several comments say the $59.19 price is high compared with cheaper Amazon or off-brand guns, including one bought for $19.99 with a foam cannon. The counterpoint is that McKillans is viewed as higher quality, with better fittings and support, so the value depends on whether you want the premium build and features.
The Pro version is described as much more comfortable to hold, with a freer swivel and a lighter trigger pull than the non-Pro. The non-Pro is also said to have more friction in the swivel and a heavier trigger, making it harder to use for frequent washing.
It has a bottom swivel to reduce hose tangles, stainless steel connections to resist rust, a light-pull trigger, and a tip holder built into the handle. Those features are aimed at easier car washing and less fumbling with loose parts.
The swivel can turn when there is no pressure, but it reportedly stops swiveling once pressure is applied. That makes the swivel feature less useful during actual washing, even though the gun itself is still described as nice.
Does anyone know how this compares to their original design? I've got one and have had to disassemble and lubricate it twice already, and it honestly doesn't get used that much and we have fairly soft water. I can't figure out why it seems more susceptible than "lesser" guns that I've owned over the years.
I own the non-pro version and it just functions well. The swivel male fitting is a game changer for washing cars, no more tangles.. but if you are upgrading the gun ide recommend getting a better hose as well.

I bought an off-brand over Prime Day for $19.99 with a foam cannon included. It works well and gets the job done. This price still seems to be really expensive.

You don't know what you're missing then. I've had both the non-pro and Pro and it's not comparable. The Pro gun is much more comfortable to hold and easier to use. The swivel on the non-pro has a lot of friction whereas the Pro has a much more free swivel. The trigger pull force on the non-pro is a much more than the Pro. I wouldn't recommend the non-pro to anybody and there are other Chinese brand ones like Tutuluck, Sitimimil or Zebra clean that are even better than the McKillans Pro as well.

This is a short sprayer. Most stock sprayers have a long sprayer attached. That makes it more likely you're going to bump/scratch a car. The longer rod is also incredibly awkward in some situations (like if you're using a shower nozzle to get the internal areas of your doors).
All that said, $63 is a heck of a lot more than the $25 cheapos on Amazon. But McKillans is usually very high quality stuff and they do support it well. Their quick connect fittings are top notch (though what's included here as stainless steel is the cheaper part of the pairing - the female halves are the more expensive of the pairs and they include a brass one for the female half). Buy some of their automatic quick connect fittings and you'll cry at the price but appreciate them every time you use them!

The bottom swivel design helps prevent tangled hoses during car washing.
The quick-connect fittings are described as top notch and the warranty support is responsive.
Stainless steel connections can help resist rusting and improve long-term durability.
The light pull trigger makes frequent car washing feel easier to operate.
The swivel may stop working once pressure is applied, which reduces the swivel benefit.
The short sprayer rod can be awkward for reaching internal door areas and may limit control.
An auto-lock mechanism can be viewed as a safety risk on a short pistol-style sprayer.
The non-pro version can have higher trigger pull force and more swivel friction than the Pro.
