People underestimate the utility of the 1500+psi hydraulic pump gathering dust in their garage. They're also handy for clogged pipes and block drains.
I used a pressure washer to flush a toilet once.
WOW! I'd kill myself for sure.

Water is not compressible, if there is a failure, you just get wet.
Isn't that the same guy who built functional Wolverine claws? He seems like our kind of nut.
That was so freakin cool.

Correct, but don't leave any air in it. That would be bad.
How does that guy not have his own show?! That's awesome!

He does, and Youtube pays him for every person that watches.

Fair enough but I'd gladly watch him instead of Mythbusters.
In reply to stanger_missle:
Big +1 on that.
That was some cool stuff he made.
I think he'd fit right in in a Jaguar commercial

Not using pipe dope and inadvertent pinholes in the welds takes care of that.
Those nutty Brits!

Which is why I had to watch the same state farm clip without a skip ad every video of his I watched.
Hydroforming exhaust chambers would be awesome. Now I gotta get me another RD. 
Never thought of that!
Love the tail of that video, showing all the other crazy things he does.
sweet.holy.hell.
I have got to think of a reason to try that.
I wonder if you could use that method to make steel fender flares....hmmmm.
Dude...stop saying things like that.
In reply to DeadSkunk:
that crescent shape showed a lotta promise there, so yea
this guy does some amazing stuff!
my high school auto tech teacher told us a story of when he was in a welding class where they would make a box, fill it with water, then weld the top on tight and evenly heat the whole box until it was hot enough to let the pressure from the boiling water shape it into a ball. he said it was probably one of the worse ideas he's ever had

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it!
More mundane, but I heart my pressure washer for cleaning sludge off of engine components. Remove cylinder head, place on wooden pallet, pressure wash.
