I've been using General Pump YG5000 for by bays. They seem a little heavy especially for women customers. Does anyone recommend a different brand that is durable and light for customers?

IMO the Adams 5030 is the toughest since it's a softer plastic that doesn't crack from impact. They're not much lighter than the General.

We've been real happy with the Suttner ST-1500 gu, we've used them for years. We used to use the Adams gun but had to many problems with them sticking full on when the customer turned on the equipment. The gun would fly out of the holder and go wild.

Adams had a batch of bad guns once about 25 years ago that would stick open. I haven't seen that problem with them since then.

The ST-1500 is good too, just be sure you remove the trigger lockout. It gets loose and falls in place, then customers get pissed off because there's no high pressure.

The Adams is an ounce or so lighter.

I still like the North American gun after trying all of the above at one time or another.

This the gun I use. On sale for $16.08. They have a grippy texture on the back of the gun and are easier to hold on to. Cat guns are made in Italy and are very good and very expensive. So if these are made in Italy like the cat gun that is a good thing. IMG_3793.JPG

AR North America is the distribution company in the US for Annovi Reverberi, "the world’s largest manufacturer of pressure washer pumps." They're based in northern Italy.
