Really useful rolling stool for polishing car

[Blobcat]

So - do you still have the video footage to post for our delectation??

Yes, I have it although it’s on my old CCTV system, I might have a rough copy on a phone somewhere. Might see what I can do.

The rubber 0-ring had failed and even though it was screwed on correctly when I released the trigger the build up of pressure was enough for it to leak and blow off. I looked at the pressure washer to see what it was doing and the brass end flew up and hit me square in the middle of the forehead. There’s not much padding up there and it smarted somewhat.

I bet that smarted quite a lot! With possibly the best part of 1500psi behind it when it popped, it was probably moving quite quickly before it used your forehead to stop. Lucky that it hit there rather than close to an eye.

I saw a few high pressure line failures during my working years, when I think that we used to lay 2" high pressure steel quick union lines without safety lines (wires) then pressure test them to 5-10,000psi, you only need one failure to understand why safety lines became mandatory.

How you get free delivery.

Mine was free delivery too?

Would this roll on block paving?

Hmm not sure, it does roll over a seam ( 2 sections) in the concrete drive.
Probably you might have to partially take the weight off to move it.

Would this roll on block paving?

If you lay a series of 8x4 ft boards all around the car to the cover the blocks it will roll wonderfully

Think I'll stay with my little oak stool, same system for getting it moved - take the weight off, move, put the weight back on!

Our paving is pretty good, but I think I will go for the stool option.
