Mike, if you have a lot of vibration at the end of your hose, I don't understand why you don't get a numb feeling in your fingers and hands after hours of washing. Do you have any ideas? Belt or direct drive?

Hey realise this thread is very old but hoping I can still get feedback.
I have a maintenance business and while we do power washing, it's not an everyday requirement.
Anyway i took two jobs this week, one was a greenhouse and the other around an administrative building, over the last two days completing the jobs my employee did not come and I did 11 hours on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th I did 14hrs.
My hands are now suffering from mild numbness and pain a little when I squeeze, my grip also seems a little weaker and it hurts a little to force it.
Guess my question is:
Considering I do not do this everyday and there is no continued "trauma", can I expect this to go away on its own?
Oh yeah I'm running:
Pressure Pro Professional
4000psi (though i saw 4500 on the unloader)
Cold water
Honda engine
GP pump
Triplex
150 feet 3/8 hose
Hope I get some feedback this feeling is pretty unpleasant.
Yes you should get used to it....and it should go away assuming you did not cause some sort of injury and its just soreness. You should get a trigger gun that much easer to keep in the hold position and it will bless tiresome on you. Here is link to the one I use and we also sell..https://www.dougruckerstore.com/products/suttner-orange-spray-gun-rs6955-st-2305/
It's an easy pull trigger and it will definitely help....
