Does anyone make a small high-pressure washer for cleaning grit from rock between tumbling steps?

I've one. Be absolutely sure to wear safety glasses when using one and at the least neoprene gloves - and it still stings smartly when that stream hits me hand. You can get one at just about any screen printing supply co.

hmmm, probably a good point with the safety. Probably a lot easier to slice off a finger than a rock........... Not much fun unless its hands on though. That might be the point that kills it for me. Always someone who has to go and ruin a bad idea. And I do not have cabin fever, your just all out to get me and my rocks!!!! What was I talking about? I should go outside probably. pressurewasherify.com/blog/best-pressure-washer-cars-reviews/

They make water sprayers for dental cleaning that might not cut your fingers.

I have a Textile gun that I use to clean self collected crystals with. I'm sure it would clean grit as well.

An small inexpensive 110VAC pressure washer with a short barrel re-fitted on the gun works well. They run at lower pressures, smaller hoses. Bigger spray tip way reduces spray force to safer levels (like chemical applicator tips).
