Problem Statement

This project focuses on developing a drill-powered pressure washer attachment that connects to a standard cordless drill and garden hose. The device uses the drill as its only power source to pressurize water for cleaning applications. This portable design provides a convenient, low-cost alternative to traditional electric or gas-powered pressure washers.
