How do I choose a pressure washer gun?
Start by confirming the gun’s fitting matches your specific pressure washer’s connector type and maximum PSI rating, since using a gun rated below your machine’s output can cause it to fail under pressure. Prioritize a comfortable, ergonomic grip with a trigger lock, especially if you’ll be using it for extended jobs, since hand fatigue becomes a real factor after 30 minutes or more of continuous use. Quick-connect nozzle tips save significant time if you’re switching between surfaces during the same job. If you regularly use detergent, a dual-lance gun that lets you toggle between a rinse nozzle and a soap nozzle without swapping attachments is worth the modest price increase. Brass or stainless internal components generally outlast all-plastic guns, particularly for anyone using the machine more than a few times a year.
