The karcher electric comes with a "turbo nozzle" that does the sameRovin wrote:finally got my amazon ordered pressure washer turbo nozzle looks like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/SurfaceMaxx-36 ... le/3117679
i tested it sunday for about ah hr
at 1st i wondered if a fell for some marketing gimmick as it was kinda choppy leaving a bunch of circular skip out makes , then realise when i held it up higher like about a foot above ground it worked much better , then i cranked up d machine & it really lived up to d hype ... water hits harder & much wider than normal yellow 15 degree tip, its like a downward strong whipping tornado, cleans about 2-3 times as fast now ... cost iirc was about us35 with 6 normal color tips included compared to tt500 locally by itself
only time & how much work hrs it gets will tell how durable this tip is but at this time i give it a thumbs up ....

Them thing does work good?
Or leave that for them bigger, wheeled, 3000+psi models?
I bought the Greenworks unit which is rated to 2200psi.*KRONIK* wrote:So i see they have a small surface cleaner for the electric units

That's my new favorite tool.
Everyone home was amazed as they never saw a surface cleaner before.
Best part about these cleaners is .....no mess.
I used it with a Sunjoe 2030psi so I was on the higher end of electric washers.
I also have a Ryobi 1700psi which doesn't seem any less potent but have to try it out and see on something rated less powerful.
There's a guy looking for one in the classifieds.Phone Surgeon wrote:I have a 15" Karcher surface cleaner rated up to 3200psi to sell. $900
Brand new

any suggestions?

I have been soldering over 20 plus years , I just need one for when I'm going offshore or on a call out Incase I have to solder something. We use Weller soldering stations in the lab . Love using them. I will check peakes and see if they have any Weller brand.maj. tom wrote:trinibajan34 wrote:Morning guys , does anyone know where I can get a Weller soldering iron 60 watt.
Brands like Weller, Hakko and JBC are well and impressive when you Google about soldering, but they're expensive and professional level tools.
Get this. I'm sure it'll be suitable for your applications. Collect some solder wire 63/37 one time and some rosin flux. Not plumber flux eh, that has zinc chloride acid and will damage anything electronics. Rosin Flux. It will say rosin or PCB flux on the package.
Here are some of my experience and textbook tips:
I usually set the iron at + 50°C above the melting point of the solder for a good melted connection on the two surfaces, i.e. no cold joints. And then +100°C as a heat reserve for thermal recovery since heat is largely lost by immediate contact through the zeroth law. So typical leaded solder I set at around 330°C, for unleaded silver alloy applications like what robots use on OEM boards it's set to 375°C.
Of course things burn rather quickly at higher temps, so it just takes a bit of practice to develop a skill to get efficient with your movements.
Always use flux to protect your joints from oxidation and to allow the hot solder to flow on the copper pads with less surface tension. Clean up after with 90% or higher iso-propyl alcohol and some q-tips.
Use a chisel tip at least 1.0mm because efficiency is all about thermal contact area, so tip size would depend on your application.
Do use a mask and a fan in your work area because you don't want to breathe in soldering fumes. Wash your hands well with Squeezy after, or use gloves because it's all poison heavy metals that you won't want contact with too long.
Which peakes branch?adnj wrote:30 to 60 watt is common for electronics assembly. Cables, lugs, and others use 100 to 250 watt.trinibajan34 wrote:Oil field, 100w will be an overkill, 60 will be good to melt high temp solder without burning off the insulation on the wire.pugboy wrote:not very common but you can get good 100w ones
what type of work?trinibajan34 wrote:Morning guys , does anyone know where I can get a Weller soldering iron 60 watt.
I can only remember seeing Weller irons at Peakes and SSL.
If you're sitting at a bench doing your work, consider ordering a Weller digital soldering station (US$100 to US$125). Many are 70 watts and will heat up quickly to the exact temp that you want. I also use a Weller butane soldering iron for the odd wire splice that comes up once every two or three years.
This is a classy response. *tips hat*maj. tom wrote:oh sorry man didn't mean to be so presumptuous. You may have to go on Amazon to get that for real. The Weller tips some place in South used to have last year I remember seeing them. Maybe they would have.... i'll get back to you if I recall where.

Forgot about that , I have a friend I'm Barbados who has one, he uses it for soldering wires for music.Rovin wrote:milwaukee has their cordless 12v battery powered soldering tool , from what i see online ppl say it works good ...

I think my supervisor would watch me and ask if I'm crazy.adnj wrote:The Weller butane irons (if you were in the market for one) are US$50 to $100, so that's a very fair price, IMO.
