| 1430447 | 2017-01-10 07:27:00 | For water blasting paths think about buying or hiring a whirly gig to fit your water blaster it has a rotating tube with two jets on the end. (The pressure isnt so severe because it drops going through two jets) and it cleans a larger area in one pass than a lance with one jet. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1430448 | 2017-01-10 07:29:00 | I have repaired water blasters for 30+ years, and will make the following observations: Domestic Karchers have plastic pumps which crack, but this is not a problem as is usually covered by warranty. Most budget price machines are made in China, regardless of the brand name. eg: just because it has a German name don't assume that the works are German, even if the case & fittings are. My Choice for domestic electric water blasters are Comet, Nilfisk (metal pump model), some Stihls, Briggs & Stratton, and some Karchers. For Petrol powered blasters: Comet, AES, Kerrick, Champion. Avoid vertical pumps mounted on vertical petrol motors. Avoid plastic lance nozzles. Avoid adjustable 'squeeze water' nozzles, choose replaceable stainless steel nozzles with a bayonet fitting. Ensure that the switch is water protected. Most damage is done to a water blaster through storage. If you don't need one very often you should consider hiring. You mentioned the B word Briggs and Stratton the worst motor ever designed by man. If I was a moderator I would kick your arse off this forum. |

Works great , does a better job & is much faster. |

| 1430451 | 2017-01-16 04:09:00 | I was referring to the Briggs & Stratton electric domestic water blasters. I am so sorry I did not know B and S made electric ones. Dad used have 3 machines with Briggs on them for harvesting the tobacco One was a motorbike thing with cultivators which went between the rows. Another a harvester which also went between the rows two people sat in seats and picked rows opposite each other. The last machine went over the rows when the baccy was small and you had a hoe which you went in and out the plants. All powered by B&S, they always let us down and caused a halt to the whole harvest when they died, or wouldn't start, or the recoil starter went. He replaced one with a Honda and it never missed a beat. Dad replaced the other two the B&S engines he threw off the bridge into the Graham Stream never to cause anyone heartbreak again. |
