Extension wand

Jason Watkins · Exterior Cleaner

I'm not sure which wands you are referencing on the site. Are you talking about the yellow poles that hook up to your pressure washer? If so, no one really uses those.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with an extension wand? If you just want to spray them with your house wash mix, you can do that with a normal house washing gun. If you want to spray them with a specific mix, you can do it with a 12V or even a pump up sprayer. Many people just put a brush on a pole, dunk it into a 5 gallon bucket of solution, and scrub them that way.

It would really help to have a link so we know what you are talking about.

Yeah it was for a pressure washer. Here are the links. I tried putting the links on here but I couldn't figure it out. Sorry about that. But thank you very much, I'm just getting started this year so I'm really in the position of figuring out what materials are actually useful and what is just a waste of money. Thank you guys. You saved me a couple hundred bucks!

I will admit that I did actually buy one of these. I have never used it and it sits on a shelf in the garage and I'm sure it is rusted up real good. But I did feel like it was a nice piece of equipment to have on the truck

I’ve never used one but from what I understand they are super heavy.

Bought one 11 yrs ago and used it once then i hung it up for life... That damn thing nearly killed me.. You don't need that at all to do soft washing with a power washer. Just get the right tips.

Just like Mike but about 7 years ago to do a strange parapet wall job. First and last time!
