Just got my new 16" steel eagle !! My craftsman p.w comes with a gun and wand. There is no quick connect on the gun or wand . They are connected by a bolt. The only quick connect is where the tips go on the wand. Therefore, when I hook up the surface cleaner, my right handle sticks out about 2' more than the left handle. Should I get another gun?

hello , I am trying to get my gun to look like Alan's does in the post. Where my barrell is connected, there is a brass nut (4 sided) . the gun is made by MV ? It came with my craftsman unit.
