Title: Back pack advise please
Post by: colin purewater on January 04, 2012, 05:40:59 pm
Evening all,

It about time I bought a backpack as I have
A number if jobs now that are a pain in the arse
Trailing  a house down alleys for  a couple of  windows ect.
Takes far to long. It's all so for the wife to use when helping
me a couple of morning a week soon,

I don't really no much about these items
I have £150 to spend (would mind one with the wheels on but not a must)

Advise please would be much appreciated

Many thanks

Colin.

Hi Colin. I got a backpack for @£100 and a sack truck from b&q for £20ish. I use it for those jobs which involve alleys etc and it saves a lot of time. One thing to consider is how to fill it because it takes ages from the tank using the pump. I fill a few 50 litre containers and it suits me.

Hi Colin,

We have the ESR16 which is 5 speed and the feedback is pretty good for it.  John Hewitt (Extend2Wash) also has it.

We've also used the 18L WCW one, that seems good too.

Thanks for that sfwc
How many hours can you use it for until the bat dies?

I got mine from John Hewitt. The charge lasts for ages and although the one I have is single speed, it is a perfect speed and I adjust it via a small tap. Fasten it to the sack truck via a bungee and it works really well.
