Pressure Washer Advice
I need a pressure washer. I'll be using it to clean fences, decks, and driveways/walkways. I'll probobly use it to clean siding and a car or two also. What PSI should I be looking for, and what brands do you recomend?

Yeah, i've been to Harbor Freight. I'm pretty sure it's all Chinese made stuff. I need something that'll last close to a lifetime though.

Well, I have a Craftsmen, Briggs motor and it has been a workhorse. 2950 with three attachments for pressure, one is for low pressure that is used for chemicals. Has two bottles attached to the carry cradle to dispense cleaners for the varity of applications mentioned. I have had this now for 4 years and never had any issues with it. On sale with Craftsmen Club card was 400.00 Originally Posted by CarpenterGuy
