Help your ebike survive winter

Even better is that you can buy it for the OH for Xmas "cos you thought it would be a good idea for drying the dog/cat off"

Unfortunately I can’t use that excuse as we don’t have dogs or cats....

Only bees ? ? ?

You'll have to improvise ...

Now that we will be turning off our hoses for the winter, I'll be using this for winter washing. I take a bucket of hot water out and use this to spray it down then wash, then rinse. Can get it all done with less than one bucket of water. Pretty handy item.

I looked at that, but ended up going for one of these Karcher OC3 Mobile Outdoor Washer as I can rinse down at the trail before loading it in the car.

+1 for the Worx...Awesome piece of kit. Has a low power function as well around bearings etc and 4 different nozzle output widths. One battery does about 3 buckets full but use it with a hose. The filter on the hose means you can effectively dump it in a mucky lake!

Comes with loads of accessories and I got the Soda Bottle adaptor as well for a quick trail wash if needed. Also a soap washer. The best bit is the collapsible bucket.

Only £99.99 at the moment...Bargain!

I'm thinking of one of these as they are a little more compact. Anyone got one or something similar?

Yeh mine is the Stanley version of effectively the same thing. They look the same, just different labels.

It’s great but bloody loud..I mean really loud. If your using it to blow air the compressor will be going pretty often. That said if your space limited and it’s your only option like I am it does the job..

Thanks. Noise Shouldn't be too much of a problem. Don't suppose you've ever used yours for any air operated power tools such as a nail gun? Thinking to kill two birds with one stone here as renovating my house atm.

I've got one slightly bigger than that for when I can't be bothered moving a bigger compressor. It still will easily run a small air nailer... And will even run the big one with the rotary magazine, but depending what you're nailing you might have to up the pressure a bit and you can't really go all lethal weapon as you'll need to hold off when it's running-which can be quite frequently.

Interesting video.

a compressor seems a bit overkill for a little air blasting. Concerned about the noise one would make too, in summer I am likely to be washing at 9-10pm maybe

How about this for cost effectiveness


I've been googling compressors, then leaf blowers, then car dryers, and now pet dryers!

This arrived today. Its insanely powerful. Will have to use it on the low setting. Pleasant warm air comes out, at high velocity! A bit noisier than a dyson vacuum cleaner I'd say.

You can run it off a 2 liter soda bottle I think. I believe there is an attachment
