Micro pressure power washer

[Rafael Najmanovich]

For a long while, I’ve wanted a micro pressure washer for deadwood cleaning and potentially debarking. The only model I knew of was from Kaneshin but it is prohibitively expensive at around 1000$. Yesterday, a comment by Ryan during the Bonsai Mirai live stream prompted me to search again and I found this one sold by Otto Frei in the US that looks suspiciously similar to the kaneshin model but costs 1/10 of the price.

I see battery powered ones. Do they still spray water? I have heard him talk a lot about sand blasters which I believe to be a different tool.

I feel like I need one of these for my windows.

Thank you Indigo-Steve. It seems to be the same product and it saves me on shipping.

Dammit - I never needed one of these before and now I've even found one for €55/$60 delivered...

Now I need a reason to buy one because the price is not preventing anything.

That thing looks like an accident waiting to happen if I'm being honest.
I have an aversion for water and electronics in conductive metal devices. Heck, I have an aversion for everything electrical with a metal housing that you hold with your hands.

There is no reason to worry with this... it is the same design as the old style airless sprayers you could buy from ACE/Harbor Freight/etc... just like the one on the Harbor freight link below. The difference is the nozzle. I have "jetted" the old nozzles using drill bits designed to enlarge carburetor jets to clean small parts on autos spraying (not the smartest thing to do) solvents to include acetone. The entire body is isolated from the circuit.

Yeah, I've heard things ("It's isolated from the body! No worries!") like that and I agreed until I found a coworker on the ground with the lights fried out of his eyes; a cable got loose on the inside of the casing/body and it caused the body to be conductive.
He lived.
We have to keep in mind that acetone and paint are not as conductive as water is. So I try to avoid metal casings all together if there's electronics involved, especially when there's also a fine mist of water in close viscinity.

I'm not against pressure sprayers, just the metal ones.

Maybe you could invest in an AirSpade;-one of the big boys toys! With these you dont need water!

Air-Spade — TUTEX

The Air-Spade is a rugged and durable hand-held tool that produces a stream of supersonic air moving at Mach 2. The Air-Spade effectively penetrates and dislodges most types of soil, but is harmless to non-porous objects such as plant roots, buried pipes, or cables. Tutex offers the full range of

Could also be great for digging difficult trees?!

LOL... pretty much what I did but with a hole drilled into the nozzle instead of an extension. Nice job Jelle!
