Pulling Old Pumps

Pulled and replaced some vertical shaft sewage pumps for a local yacht club. Too confined of a space and shallow of a basin to justify putting in rails. Customer didn't want the extra cost either. Heading back with the master electrician to get everything hooked in on a telemetry panel.

Fun on a Tank Entry

Had to conduct a tank entry to route the new building sewer line through the existing septic tank prior to having a concrete pump drop a bunch of controlled density fill to decommission it. Rest of the gang went and hooked it to the new tank after I left.

Compact Pressure Washer

I'm looking to build a compact pressure washer for work as an alternative to the big truck mounted or cart ones we use. Are you guys aware of any engines, pumps, and parts that could be put together to get something that weighs 50-75lbs max, can fit in a truck cab (to give an idea of the size I'm looking for), and have an output of at least 2000psi and 3gpm? Not sure if that output would be possible from something in that size.

I was looking to buy this little guy, but I know my boss wouldn't be super pleased if I used my company card for it unless it was a necessity for a job or put on my knee pads. Looking to see if I can make something for cheaper, trial run it, and see how useful it is. Primarily wanting to use it as a small jetter to clear pipe clogs and rinsing down septic tanks.

Not sure where to start looking for all the bits and parts I'd need, so just looking to get pointed in a direction and go down a rabbit hole.

Any of you guys have experience with this particular roto-hammer? I'm planning to use it for tapping holes into concrete when assisting our master electrician and to help perform lighter demo where I can't fit a 65lb or 35lb jackhammer. Plus I just think it's cool. In addition to that, do you think there'd be an opportunity in the next month or two for a better price? I feel like this battery bundle may be as good as it gets.
