[Shop-talk] pressure washer; minimum useful pressure

[Doug Braun]

I have a Home Depot "Husky" house-brand electric
washer.  It is powerful enough for cleaning car parts.

I think one advantage of a bigger gas model is a
larger flow rate, which lets you clean more square
feet per minute.  That's nice when washing your
driveway, but less important for small jobs.
