TOH Tested: Pressure Washers

More of a cordless cleaner than a pressure washer, this unit won't revitalize a deck. But it packs enough punch to blast mud, sand, and gunk off boats, cars, or even Fido (without maiming him). The 18-volt battery will run through the 3.5-gallon tank three times on one charge. The sprayer works like the one on a traditional garden hose and adjusts from 90 psi to a soft fan of water.

Fine print: 90 psi, 0.5 gpm, 20 pounds
