Hacking the Ryobi EZ Clean to Make it Actually Useful
** UPDATE** Thanks to @jasonwalter9359 for finding this adapter so you don't have to cut new threads: https://amzn.to/3TA0EWz
I got tired of waiting for Milwaukee to make a "Me Too" version of a cordless power washer, so I picked up the Ryobi version and used my previous battery hack to use some M18 batteries in the Ryobi Power Clean.
While I think this is a great tool, there's a major flaw and that is, Ryobi insists on using proprietary quick disconnect fittings on both the inlet side and the wand side. I already have some power washer nozzles from my gas-powered and plug-in power washers, so I didn't want to buy more nozzles and I wanted to use my foam cannon too.
After a bit of research, I was able to HACK / Modify the Ryobi Power Cleaner to accept standard universal quick disconnects. Let me show you how I did it in this video.
