This Pressure Washer→ low.es/2DPaBcw
In this video, I cover the basics of pressure washing around the home using the CRAFTSMAN Gas pressure washer. The above link will take you to the Lowe's website. There are many other things you can clean with these, like cars and pool areas. You can get attachments specifically for those purposes. It's a very versatile tool!
Thank you Lowe's for sponsoring this video and supporting my channel!

A little advice from personal experience: If you are using your pressure washer near a swimming pool, be careful to not let the pressure washer vibrate itself into the pool.

Pool : I have over 10k gallons of water. I’m not afraid of your puny 1.5 gpm rating. Pressure Washer : Ohh Yeah!!! Hold my wand. Proceeds to jump in and start kicking ass until it realizes the poor little pressure washer can’t swim. ☹️

Man I swear ... every time I check video about pressure washing I all always seem to come to your comment to have a laugh inside. I didn’t have to paint after pressure washing today but I was reminded not to try to clean my hands off when I have a 15 degree tip on. Lol

There are two things the video didn't mention. Over time the snap on connections will become difficult to use, especially when trying to disconnect them. It's a good idea to use a rubber safe lubricant, like silicone grease, to lightly lubricate the ball bearings in the connections. You also definitely want to lubricate the O-rings - the owners manual for my machine also mentions that. For cleaning concrete floors, driveways, or wood decks there is a specific attachment that can be purchased for that. It works wonders and makes the job a lot quicker and more efficient. There are YT videos demonstrating such an attachment.

He didn’t directly say it but a couple minutes in when he’s putting the attachments on it literally says “lightly grease threads and o-rings” in the bottom right lmao

I found that attachment didn’t do as good a job as using the wand.
Great video. Didn't try to oversell the washer's capabilities like a lot of videos and was clear and to the point. Very well done.

Always point wand at ground at test spray after attaching tip. Sometimes they may not be attached properly and fly off hitting a car or a window *shifty eyes*

Thank you! I needed to know that basic fact!
My husband works out of town a lot and I need to power wash. I’ve watched so many videos to show me how and this is the best one yet. Thank you for this amazingly helpful video now I know what to do
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! You are precise. I understood everything and it didn't take 30 minutes for you to do it. You were clear and straight to the point. You have a fan in me! I'll be following for any other clips.
Thank you so much for this. We bought our pressure washer 2 years ago and I was too scared to figure out how to use it. Thank you for the clear and informative instruction.
I learned about pressure washing recently and I’ve been really interested about investing in it. This video helped me a lot, so thank you 👍🏻
Wish I had these tips back when I was using a pressure washer for my work establishment back in the days. Great videos, very glad I found this channel!

This is the best video on the topic I've seen yet. Thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks for the refresher course. I bought a power washer last summer to clean the patio and now I need to work on the deck/house this year.
I decided to expand my lawn care side job and start pressure washing as well. I bought a Delta 3600psi/3.5gpm pressure washer with a Honda GX340. It's tough to pull start but sure gets the job done!
Great video, thanks! Here’s a tip I learned long ago and it really has helped me with all my gas powered toys that sit over the winter months...trimmers, chainsaws, blowers...even the 65 Mustang: Non-ethanol gas. Not all stations carry it but you can usually find a place or 2 in every town that does. It doesn’t seem to go bad like all the ethanol-mixed gas does.
Excellent job on the video I really enjoyed it I’ve been pressure washing my entire life and you did an excellent job explaining it
I just bought the same model... pressure washing the house prior to paining it. Looking forward to using it on my driveway and also prepping to epoxy my dirty, partially painted garage floor. Thanks for the great video! Good information!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad i found you. I have a 3300 Honda model and wasn't sure how to use the clear hose or change out the nozzles. I was thankful you have very detailed, clear, fast instructions. New subscriber for sure!!
thanks for posting. I was wondering how to use the soap application with my pressure washer and this explained what I needed to know.
I love this video. I have been having a hard time with just trying to figure out how to connect the thing with all the hoses and pieces and parts. This video really helped above a beyond what I needed. I will keep this video as future reference after I get the pressure washer connected.
What a great video! Thanks for the info. About to set my first pressure washer up.
Thank you for making it look so easy and fun! I'm getting the itch to start mine up today. Thanks for the knowledge.

Great tips, thanks!

Big-brain move buying it CASH and not taking advantage of the numerous cash-back, warranty, extended return policies, and other protections afforded by credit cards.
Oh man! Such an informative video! I haven't used one in probably a decade or more and looking into buying one. I don't think I could have asked for a better video to start with!
Great Job Adam. I live in Baton Rouge, LA where the climate is mostly hot and humid. Big help my friend.
One thing that seems to always go un-said in pressure washer user manuals and instruction videos is proper care of the hose. These are not soft rubber hoses like used with air compressors, rather they are fairly stiff, hard-walled PVC or similar material. They will kink easily, and are more likely to kink when bent if they also have a twist to them. For that reason, it is important to take care when unrolling them, and rolling them up for storage, to have them roll neatly in the orientation that the hose wants to be in. Personally, I use a hand cranked garden hose reel ,and reel up the hose while it is stretched out on the driveway, so it can untwist itself as it is drawn in towards the reel. I just store the hose on that reel, and un-reel it from there when needed.

Best power washing video on KZread. Thank you
Thank you👍🏻 Great info.
I recently recycled a 330 gallon DEF IBC tote from my farm to run my pressure washer where I don’t have a water hook up. I filled the tote to the top which is a lot of water. I thought it wouldn’t be enough, but I washed three tractors, a round hay baler which gets very dirty, a 30’ hay rake and tedder and a CanAm X3 and all of that was barely a quarter of the tank. Pressure washers use barely any water making them the ideal low cost cleaning tool.
Thanks, really learned some things.

excellent video Guy love it feel like I've been using a pressure washer for years after watching your video
Great video. Thanks for making it. Help me make my choice.
Thank you! I had a diff brand but this video helped me .
Loved this video! I am the kind of person that will research something into the ground before buying it. I never realized that a power washer had so many uses, as I was only going to use it to clean the sundeck and get moss off of the driveway. Unfortunately, I can't afford a $1,000 Honda engine, but I found that Briggs & Stratton engines have crapped out as of lately. That was sad news, as I have a beautiful B & S engine in my lawnmower.
Thanks for the video 👍🏽👍🏽
My favorite hack on a power washer?....... Connect a washing machine hose to the water inlet. Next time you connect your garden hos you won't have to reach under the P/W to connect up! You can also put in a "Y" adapter with shut off valves so you have access to water, (I always need to wash my hands)
