Popular Post team scooter Posted March 20, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 20, 2022 A pressure washer. And why did I wait until 2022 to get one. I mostly bought it to blast the road salt off the snomo trailer rather than take it all the way into town to the do it yourself car wash... But then.... I washed three snowmobiles, then the truck, the blue car, the motorcycle, the little mower, the lawn tractor, the siding on the shaded side of the garage, and then part of the driveway. Its one of those items I didn't know I needed until I got one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted March 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 20, 2022 Concrete driveway, sidewalks, and patio? You want this Amazon.com: Karcher T300 11" Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner Attachment for Karcher Electric Pressure Washers K2-K5 – 32" Extension Wand Included : Patio, Lawn & Garden While I have the higher PSI gas, this is for the 2000psi elextric. Also, you absolutely want to save your back with the extended wand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of these: Greenworks Surface Cleaner Universal Pressure Washer Attachment 30012. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00USQ6IZW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Works pretty good with our little Greenworks 1500 psi washer. I've been thinking about getting a 24' extension so that I can clean the siding on the house, but they run around $150. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted March 21, 2022 Share #7 Posted March 21, 2022 Well except one time I had Teva Sandals on. I washed my foot. Very dumb. Lesson learned. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about getting a 24' extension so that I can clean the siding on the house, but they run around $150. Don’t replace the entire wand, trigger and all. Don’t know the Greenworks product but from photo, depending on model, appears standard. Unscrew the short metal tube ( photos of some models appear black - either full plastic or coated metal). Discard that portion and screw on longer replacement. I found the longer tube at either Tractor Supply, or more likely, Northern Tool. I think this is what I got, but not certain of the length - just felt comfortable. This one has the connection on both ends, where cheaper were pipes only and would depend on the male/female thread attachment design of wand. NorthStar Pressure Washer Lance — 4000 PSI, 12.0 GPM, 28in.L, Model# NND20004P | Northern Tool I see Lowes also has them (as does HD, but HD doesn't sell Greenworks). Looking at reviews, Q&A, etc appear the 4500psi is "up to" and works with lower rated PSI. The Q&A on Lowes specifically mentioned Greenworks 1800 psi model (where HD was a Stanley 1500 psi model). SurfaceMaxx Pro 4500 PSI Pressure Washer Spray Wand in the Pressure Washer Spray Guns & Wands department at Lowes.com. Lowes apparenly also has a different brand with different wand ends. Suggestion: Remove the wand from the handle, lay next to each other to show thread attachment of both the handle and wand, take a photo on your phone that you can look at in the store to compare.

Parr8hed Posted March 21, 2022 Share #9 Posted March 21, 2022 My mom asked what I wanted for my birthday coming up. I struggle to answer this every year. I don't NEED anything. But they like to get me a BD gift. So I asked for a foam cannonn to go onto the tip of my pressure washer. They look pretty dope. Go to minute 4:00 or so if you're not very patient.

Well, give yourself credit that you were smart enough not to use the pressure washer when your Waterpik bit the dust, like someone else I know.

Tizeye Posted March 21, 2022 Share #11 Posted March 21, 2022 Oh, one other tip. When changing the spray nozzle, tap it against some hard object (wall, sidewalk, etc) to make sure fully seated. Otherwise, when applying pressure it blows off somewhere and good luck finding it. I have to replace my white one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
