    I know it existed but I can’t find it anywhere! It’s a wand that hooks to your air hose and your water hose to make your compressor into a pressure washer? I’ve been searching the web and can’t find anything like it?:confused: Anyone know where i could find it? Or what it's actuly called?

    Thanks

    I've never seen one of those, but it sounds like another tool I need. Please let us know if you find them somewhere.

    My dad got his at Sears many years ago. Not sure if they still sell it.

    Got mine from Eastwood, it's ok but not near as good as a high pressure car wash or a self-powered pressure washer. Better than nothing at all.
     
  12. For a second I thought this thread was going to be about someone getting ripped off in the classifieds...

    Good description. I've got the thunder gun (and not bashful to say it either). Bout 2x the power of a garden hose with a good nozzle. However, if you're patient with the degreaser's soak time, and hook to your hot water heater's drain, decades of grime will wash away.

    Only other thing I've found it to be good for is cleaning concrete and brick. It'll get most of the stuff that a garden hose won't touch, but isn't as destructive as an actual power washer.

    Yeah i've used one before and i know they don't peel the paint off the fence but I figuered it'd work for around the house (mostly cleaning parts and cars) and it won't cost me $400

    Another source would be any parts store that sells Milton air tools could order you one. I remember seeing them hanging with the air tool fittings and air chucks.
