    I have a similar attachment for my pressure washer and it really pays for it self fast if you get to use it once or twice. Plummer's are not cheap!

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was sceptical it would work, but it cost me $50 and I charged the building $50 for my time. Our plumber is great, but they are charging a minimum $250 callout these days. So, I've saved the building $150 in it's first outing. Winning. Even if you didn't already own a pressure washer a few drains in you'd be ahead.

    Good to see you back into it James. I have a similar pressure washer, mine is green though. I bought the drain and tube cleaner to clean gutters and down pipes. The giant eucalyptus near the house rains leaves and sticks on us in any kind of windy weather. I cost me 250 shekels to get the gutter vac bloke to clean them last time. Anyway mate, keep up the good work. All the best.

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cheers mate. I might need your help with the next video... I'll DM you. I think this would be great for downpipe... on a single story house. Our 4 story building means I get the pros in for that job! Honestly, I didn't think this was going to be able to power through that mud, but happy to be proven wrong!

      Yet another job done as the result of being tight and not wanting to call the plumber. Good thing I saved $200 buck here... the building water main burst today and they are currently fixing it. Probably a $2000 plus job. Can't win. 😂

    The trouble with this attachment is that it CAN'T be used with the Gerni 7300 pressure washer which has a output pressure of 2320psi and this drain tube can only take a pressure up to 2175psi and that's because it's not steel reinforced. If you do use it with the Gerni 7300 then you risk bursting the drain hose severely injuring yourself in the process.
    Gerni should make a drain cleaning hose that's able to take the pressure of the 7300.

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That does seem like a bit of a massive oversight on their part. Perhaps there is one in works, I'd have thought the 7000 series would be popular enough to warrent it...

    • @Jason-rs6co

      it would be fine the hose itself is never under that pressure as its always open if you put a vale on the end then maybe it would be an issue
