CRAFTSMAN 3200 PSI Gas Pressure Washer Review

The CRAFTSMAN 3200 PSI Gas Pressure Washer is a really impressive Pressure Washer. I am doing my best to build out my garage with as many Made in the USA products as possible, this pressure washer is Made in the USA with Global Materials. This is my review of what I think is the best pressure washer on the market. I also demonstrate the Karcher 15-Inch Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner Attachment in this video. This is NOT sponsored content, this is something I bought myself and wanted to share on KZbin.

Nice review man. Was going between this one and a Ryobi at Home Depot and after watching your review I'm going to go with this unit. The frame looks much more solid and this one has a little more PSI/bigger motor.

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks I appreciate the kind words. I am really happy with it.

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

Great review Dan, I can't live without my pressure washer, I use it on everything, I hope your arm heels up quickly Brother, with the right tip on there they sure can cut the skin on you, and they can Peel the paint off of a vehicle to, good job brother, stay safe and stay healthy 👍🏼💯

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks!!

[@spear-it]

Great review! I use a Dewalt 4000 PSI for my channel

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks

[@JC-ph9vr]

I have the same unit.. the gun stores on the side that you have it on but you're supposed to detach the wand and it stores on the other.. separately then it won't be so clunky and drag and hit your wheels and want to fall off. No worries I did the exact same thing until I went back and looked in the instructions LOL 😂 Great video!! Love the maid in the USA theme!!👊🏻✌🏻🤟🏻

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks JC, I appreciate it.

[@djdannis]

Great video! Thank you. FWIW Running non synthetic conventional oil is better for initial break in because it allows the rings to scuff up the cylinder walls more effectively thus allowing the piston rings to "seat" better which is an important part of the break in process. Definitely switch to synthetic thereafter. Happy power washing!

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks for the input. I probably switched to synthetic too soon but such is life.

[@mellowjammer]

I had always heard the same thing: Break-in should be done with real Dino oil (non-synthetic), and then you can switch out to synthetic after that.

[@SincerelyMsTaya]

This is crazy! I looked at my watch and said, “It’s 4:49.” Immediately after, you said the price was $449.

[@GearsGadgets]

Now THAT is weird lol.

[@TheJedRides]

DUDE, another solid video! Well done. You've inspired me with time lapse and drone footage in the same video! In all honesty, yours is what my new channel aspires to be. (And your pressure washer sounds a lot like my sons's CRF 150!) Keep 'em coming. And I hope maybe some of your viewers will give my channel a try, too. Mine's heavy on the motoVLOG, lighter on reviews.

[@LSquaredCrafts]

This channel rocks, and so does The Jed!

[@GearsGadgets]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@chldof1truekng434]

You made me laugh on that one. One of the things I was going to mention was make sure and not shoot yourself they will slice you. Also the pulsating rotational tips work very well for removing stubborn stains. Kind of a must have! I love pressure washers and you did a good job getting one with the Honda Engine.

[@GearsGadgets]

I can say I’ve used it a lot in the last couple weeeks.

[@theinvrse]

You sprayed your arm with the pressure washer?

[@chingkhiulunggangmei1335]

What is the working hour on full gas tank.?

[@azael831]

Am i wrong in thinking you need a detergent rated oil?

[@chioreadsbooks]

Can the pressure be adjusted on these…

[@jasonhunt6477]

How do I connect and disconnect the wands

What was your thoughts on the soap dispenser?

Tim Allen it worked awesome.

[@tarahardy26]

What ur take on a Murray 3100 psi pressure washer that also made by Briggs and Stratton, is this a reliable brand?

[@GearsGadgets]

I am not familiar with it.

[@janedoe1229]

What is a pump saver

[@retrokid231c]

I just purchased one. Are you suppose to drain the oil after every usage?

[@cdawg3506]

no

[@cdawg3506]

just check the oil every few uses and refill if need be.

[@GearsGadgets]

NOOOO

[@cdawg3506]

@@GearsGadgets lol. That is just one of those scary outta left field comments aye

[@luxchannelx6039]

Someone ! After turning it off do I just turn it off or do I gotta move the choke as well ?

[@luxchannelx6039]

Also do we let the pressure out of the wand after turning it off ???

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

3200 psi is crazy high lol Get yourself a foam cannon for it now and you'll be hooked up for washing cars! I always break my new engines in with dino oil then switch to synthetic later. Different strokes... Also, one huge benefit of Arizona is you can have rocks for a yard, but here you are with grass like a crazy person 😂

[@GearsGadgets]

lol yeah it got me good. Now as for rocks, you are right however I get SO sick of brown gravel and sand, it is nice to have a little green lol.

[@twhit560018]

Who makes the surface cleaner in this video?

[@GearsGadgets]

It is Karcher amzn.to/2RlARkA

[@twhit560018]

Thanks for the surface cleaner info

[@JaySorsby1]

Is there not a drain plug in the bottom?

[@GearsGadgets]

There is not. One of my gripes I guess I forgot to mention.

[@ryche2882]

Nice review. I purchased the same unit last month and I am already on my third hose. The first hose split within the first 2 minutes of use. The second hose was an hour into using the unit. If you purchase this unit (or any others) be consonant of the hose and exhaust. The first hose was a defect, the second hose was the issue. I was not watching the hose as I was cleaning the RV from our recent trip. As I was washing the RV, the hose lifted and kissed the exhaust. Melting the exterior of the hose, causing it to immediately rupture. I really can not give this a review one direction not the other until I get more time on the unit. Hopefully it works well.

[@GearsGadgets]

Interesting. I’ve used mine a bunch of times and haven’t had issues with the hose yet. How sketchy is it when the hose blows?

[@ghostreality2965]

pressure washer soap nozzle best good. pressure washer soap nozzle with high pressure. long range soap nozzle

Funny, I just brought the Craftsman with the & (spell checked castration) yesterday 3000 PSI 2.5 GPM on sale for $311.20 REG $389, yours, this on going to pain you, at a sale rate of $294.63. Buy Snow-thrower after the Winter Season, Pressure Washer and Lawn Mowers in the Fall. I looked at the Ryobi also not fond of the Honda Engine, not cheaper, Dewalt way too expensive at Home Depression, thanks for the Video

[@GearsGadgets]

Interesting. I just looked it up and it still is listed at $449

[@samuelvelez1643]

Same thing happened to me... I burned my forearm with a Craftsman 3000 psi the same way as you...

[@GearsGadgets]

It sucks lol

[@samuelvelez1643]

[@pboperations]

In the American vernacular, if the phase "go ahead" was completely removed from this video, and others, the commentary would have entirely the same meaning and sense.

[@GearsGadgets]

pboperations thanks. It comes out in non-scripted videos with steps and ends up being amplified in editing as longer segments of rambling are cut out which leaves you with quick cuts of step 1, 2, 3, 4 however you don’t number steps in a video like this because you don’t know what will be cut in the final edit and don’t want to end up with step 1, 4, 2, 8. I understand the annoyance.

[@janedoe1229]

I got this. It's junk. I bought mine mid Summer 2021. Junk. Low pressure, hard to start. Attachment is poor quality plastic. Disappointment

[@ramseydieter]

Homeboy got a tetanus shot for a small skin burn hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha. We step on rusty nails that break thru the skin and keep working. No one in the history of life ever got 'tetanus'. Maybe someone who swam in a vat of liquid metal and swallowed some.

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks Dr. Ramsey. Are you the same guy who doesn’t get a polio vaccine because nobody has died from it since the 60’s? The kind of logic that completely misses the point that nobody has died BECAUSE the people in the 60’s got the vaccine? I LOVE people on the internet. So adorable.

[@hastonandrew2]

Any engine should not have any metal anything come out with the oil

[@jamiepenne2496]

this thing is a piece of garbage I got one of these it died on me the first time I tried to use it took it back to the store exchanged it. Use it again for a couple of months the engine blew up took it back to one of the dealers they rebuild the engine then the cutoff switch stopped working it almost electrocuted me because I had to remove the covering for the spark plug to turn it off. Have that repaired the engine started shaking so badly it broke the frame connection. Eventually I sold it for $50 and was glad to be rid of it

[@GearsGadgets]

Mine still runs strong (I think). I haven't started it in a while.

[@namco927]

I bough mines at Lowe’s i Tried to turn it on after an hour of trying it finally turn on, 20 min in the water pressure wasn’t working even though the engine was on, I return it only to be struggling 2 days with the new pressure washer trying to turn it on. If it’s new at least it should turn on on the first days but not even that I return both and bough a new brand on Home Depot will try it out tomorrow.

[@orlandoriveras]

Start one's and never start again

[@GearsGadgets]

Mine fires up every time 1 pull. What’s going on with yours?
