Karcher T Racer

Karcher Patio Cleaning Accessories

There are a wide range of purposely designed genuine Karcher accessories to undertake patio cleaning work at home or in a leisure environment.

Being perhaps the most well known brand of home user as well as commercial use pressure washers worldwide, Karcher have developed through innovation and cutting edge technology effective accessories, attachments, and detergents to bring dirty and soiled hard surface patios back to life.

Over the recent years one groundbreaking accessory they have developed and launched is their range of T Racer Patio Cleaner units.

Aimed primarily at the home owner and gardener, a Karcher T Racer is an attachment / accessory that fits the majority of their domestic jet pressure washers by way of fitment to the trigger gun and which when used cleans patios and other hard surface areas by the use of high pressure water alone.

A t racer is a shrouded shaped unit which contains rotating jet arms that spin round at a high speed allowing water to be blasted out in a concentrated area on the surface below.

Unlike a normal nozzle or "jet blaster" type nozzle that can be fitted to most pressure washers a karcher t racer is unique in the way it cleans hard surface areas on walls, floors, decking, and patios because of several design features:

T Racer Features 

Rotating fan type nozzles
Light weight
Shrouded design prevents splashback
Concentrated cleaning area
Common lance / gun fitments
Genuine OEM Karcher accessory

Although patio and deck cleaning has always been possible with the use of a jet washer, anyone that has used one in a traditional way either with the standard nozzle or a dirt blaster type nozzle will understand just how time consuming and labourious this job can be.

A standard pressure washer lance nozzle has a cleaning area only only a couple of inches wide when used on drives, paths, patios, slabs, and the like. A dirt blaster type nozzle has an even smaller cleaning area. This is because the pressure of the wter needs to be focussed on a small area for it to work. 

A t racer works in a completely different way. The shrouded unit first contains the water so none of the pressure is lost, a propeller type arm (s) then spins around at a very high speed which contains the cleaning jets themselves, out of which high pressured water is forced on to the surface area the t racer is placed upon.

The working area that is being cleaned at once is the area that is covered with the shroud of the unit.

Depending on which karcher t racer you purchase this can be from 6 to approximately 9 inches in size. This allows large flat hard suface areas to be cleaned and restored relatively quickly. Even vertical flat surfaces can be tackled with this patio cleaner accessory such as fences, walls, garage walls and doors, conservatory panels, and garden sheds and outbuildings.  

One of the newest t racer designs is the T200 model. This is aimed at the latest diy and consumer pressure washers in the Karcher model line up and differs from previous versions by way of it also having a built in scondary handle for improved handling and posioning when used on vertical surfaces.

The T200 is also packaged with several models of karcher pressure washers available from popular sales outlets including mail order companies such as the Ideal World Satellite Tv Shopping Channel, QVC, Argos, as well as many more.

Electric Powered Chainsaw

An electric powered chainsaw is an ideal tool for use around the home or garden, especially when the time of year comes when tidying up and maintenance of the garden is required.

When compared to a petrol powered machine, an electric chainsaw is easier to use, requires less maintenance and servicing, and without having a need to carry fuel on board, are usually lighter in weight as well.

There are very few limitations with regards to an electric chainsaw, the main one being just portability due to the need for the tool to have a trailing power cable to supply the electric supply to it.

As with petrol driven models all electric chain saws have a built in oil lubrication tank and lubrication system to keep the saws chain blade well oiled and allow it to cut easier.

As with all chainsaws it is important to use appropriate safety equipment and protective workwear when using any type of electric chainsaw. Gloves, goggles (or full face visor), safety helmet, are just a few of the items any chainsaw user should wear.

Most electric chainsaws tend to have a cutter bart of around 14" to 16" in size. This is the most popular size range for felling small trees, saplings, and logging work in the garden.

For larger work it is uually best to appoint the services of a tree surgeon or professional landscaper / gardener. This is especially the case if overhead cutting or pruning work is needed.

Most electric chainsaw models are aimed at the diy or light professional user. For this reason this type of portable power tool tends to be made and sold under the leading DIY brands of garden machinery.

In this brand line up are popular makes that include Bosch, Black and Decker, Ryobi, Handy, Alpina, and Draper.  

Chainsaw Sharpening Services

Where to Get Your Chainsaws Blade Sharpened::

If you own or use a chainsaw, whether at home or in the workplace, at some point you will need to get its chain loop blade sharpened.

With natural wear and tear and due to the abrasive content of "live" timber the teeth on a chainsaws blade will eventually become blunt and worn with use. Even though a chainsaw has oil lubrication to assist the wear rate, the teeth on the units blade will need to be either resharpened or a new blade fitted.

It is only necessary to replace the chain loop when it has worn to its limit either by stretching or the metal teeth being worn to the extreme.

All electric and petrol driven chain saws have a guide plate as well as the leading cutter edge of the blade tooth. This allows the user or operator to see at a glance the level as to the wear and tear present.

The easiest way to get your chainsaw chain sharpening undertaken is to use a company that specialises in this service. Usually these type of companies offer a fast turnaround as well as an affordable cost effective price.

The other alternative is to sharpen the blade yourself with one of the purpose designed sharpening kits that can be bought. The best kits to choose are the ones that include everything you need to undertake this essential maintenance job and to file the teeth of the blade at the right offset.

The most versatile sharping kits include a flat file, a round file, a file holder, and the important file guage. The file guage allows you to draw the relevant file across the metal tooth at the correct angle to get the correct cutting pitch.
