Appreciation post: my $300 pressure washer paid for itself in one afternoon
I was working on a 6.7 Powerstroke with a clogged EGR cooler. The old cooler was caked with soot and I knew cleaning it by hand would take hours. I bought a small electric pressure washer for about $300 last month, thinking it might help with general shop cleanup. I hooked it up with a degreaser mix and blasted that cooler clean in maybe 20 minutes. It came out looking almost new, and I saved the customer the cost of a whole new part. I'm finding more uses for it every week, like cleaning oil pans and engine blocks. What other shop tools have you guys bought that ended up being way more useful than you thought?

Always thought those were just for driveways. Might have to get one now.

Just for driveways" is what I used to think too, @harper395. What changed your mind about getting one? I'm curious what you'd use it for now.

Remember when my buddy used his to pull a neighbor's car out of a ditch?
