I was shopping around for some tools on the net and came across an OTC Blast-Vac. It`s basically a hand held pressure washer that uses your air compressor line and garden hose. Here`s a link (http://www.handsontools.com/OTC-6043-Blast-Vac-Multipurpose-Cleaning-Gun_p_5090.html).
For the price it seems like it would be a nice little tool to have for high pressure washing (not to mention I like the thought using it for its actual intended purpose:har: )
I don`t have a pressure washer and don`t really want to spend the bucks for one right now. I do have a 30 gallon 6HP shop compressor though, so this thing looks like it might be right up my alley. Anyone every use it?

I saw the title and thought this might be some leftover reference to a Lambo thread...

Pistol, have you ever used a siphon gun? Works the same way, just has a water hose to inject the water. I use these at work, it only has contro; for about a foot. It`s used more for cleaning out tubes, where the stream can directed. Plus you need alot of air or should I say volume of air(constant). I`ve tried it on engines with poor sucess. I don`t think you would be happy with the results. We use HOT water also. More of industrial tool not a poor mans power washer. Hope that helps.

You can get a Karcher PW for not much more $$$ than that.
Plus, your air compressor will be running constantly using that tool, creating more stress and heat than needed.

All good points guys, thanx for the input. I`m gonna pass on it. I don`t want to waste the money just for the sake of trying it and from what you guys are saying, that`s exactly what I`d be doing.
The hunt for "poor mans" tools continues....
