Pressure Washer Turbo Nozzle

[ChiScouter]

My pressure washer is one of my favorite tools, 13hp Honda, 4kpsi and around 4gpm. Like leaf blowers though there is no such thing as too much power. I have seen turbo nozzles advertised for years but the cost was higher than I wanted to spend particularly on units like mine. I found one on clearance months ago and after a couple of hours of washing last weekend gave it a try. It is loud, sounds like a propeller at max rpm. Holy shit does it work way better than advertised. Don't let it get near wood unless you want to blast a hole through it, or any paint that you want to save. I started with a rusty old rim from a model A Ford, probably been sitting in mud in a barn for decades. It took the rust off far better than a 0 degree nozzle. I don't know if they come in different styles but mine is pretty much a 0 to 15 degree. They are well worth the cost even at full retail. Blast away but watch your toes.

I've got one for my power washer. Sounds like a ball bearing in there when you shake it.

Bought it for cleaning up an old flat top grill I got from a restaurant auction. Took the years of baked on grease right off.

I wouldn't try it on anything with paint that I cared about.

They use them at the ship yards to blast barnacles off boats and barges.

Bought one last year for my JD Briggs powered 3200 PSI washer.

What surprised me was how relatively safe they are for paint given their effectiveness.
I turned down my PSI and it works very well and doesn’t hurt the paint.

With the 0* nozzle, it would etch concrete so I know it has some ass behind it.

Another trick for mine was to add a fitting that allows the gun to run without the longer extension.
I can shove the wand in tight places with the turbo nozzle and just let it work without moving the gun.
