FYI The Tool & Implement Thread

Started weed whacking on the driveway, wanted too get about 300’done on both sides before I started a home project we’ve been wanting too get done. Made it about 50’ and the head stripped out. Looked at the replacement, $80. Replacement with a 40v remanufactured $118 with charger and 4mh battery…. I’m thinking I may just pull the trigger on it….

So....power washers...

I've got a big gas one that'll wear your arm out on a good day. But my wife picked up an electric one a couple of years ago and we haven't used the gas one since. It finally ended up the dumpster after some pretty good abuse from use and the previous owner. I should replace it as it is much more handy for her to use. What do yall have?

Gas cause we're real men

I’ve got a nice electric Karcher that came with the house when we bought it. Chem/soap tank and a diesel-fired heat exchanger on it. Works well but only generates about 1500-1800 psi. The electric operation is convenient, but I’d like to have some 3000+ psi capability of a gas powerwasher. Harbor Freight usually runs a sale on some of their Predator units.

Yeah, I'm keeping the gas around for real jobs. But between the battery leafblower and electric power washer, she doesn't bother much. It's worth keeping one around. Electric power washer too

Ended up with the 2,000 psi greenworks.

Recently picked up this little sod plunger that works fantastic. It has removable rings for 2, 4 & 6 inch depths. It could also be used for removing dandelion and planning bbulbs etc Not often something works just as advertised. Out grass can't be seeded so that only leaves sod. I had some spots where the topsoil washed off the lawn leaving sand. I put down topsoil and plugged it. Pro plugger. https://amzn.to/3TrF9Wz

At first I was like that things going to clog. But its actually tapered and the bottom has a slightbstar pattern. You sink it down and twist a touch to break the plug free at the bottom. It'll hold about 15 plugs. Turn it upside down and they all slide right out.

Here is where I pulled the plug from
