Default Stubby pressure washer wand

I have been searching for a shorter wand to use on my pressure washer so that I can more easily get underneath my vehicles....
I could not readily find anything so a trip to Lowe's and about ~$23 worth of parts I now have a stubby wand attachment

The normal wand extension is about ~21 inches my new one is 5 inches...
The total length with wand and handle was 44 inches! now its 24

3/8 female pipe thread to pressure washer adaptor
1/4 female QD connector for the nozzle attachments
3/8 to 1/4 reducer
1/4x 2 inch nipple, (I could have gone shorter on the nipple)

Warning: with the shorter extension you can easily put your hands in the high pressure spray pattern, Don't do that....

Great post and excellent advice ! :wink:

People forget that high pressure water can cut Steel
and it won't have any trouble detaching a finger or two
