My needs are modest. I simply want to do things like reach some high spots on my house to get rid of spider webs, or light dirt.
Answer
By an attachment I assume you mean the WAND and SPRAY TIP for the end of the hose.
The distance the water travels and the force that it cleans with are directly related to the PRESSURE, as is the volume of water that discharged.
If you reduce the pressure to that of a Garden Hose Spigot on your house your reach is correspondingly reduced.
The bigger issue for you is that the Pressure Washer Wand does not have the same threaded connections as a Garden Hose, and some do not have common connections.
If you are not prepared to purchase even the lower pressure range household pressure washers, sold by people like Home Depot or Walmart for as little as $85.00, then you might want to try a Lower cost alternative to a Pressure Washer Wand first.
There are Garden Hose WATERING Wands, up to 48" long, with Female Garden Hose Thread on the inlet and Male GHT on the outlet.
You can also buy short SWEEPER nozzles with GHT that have a small diameter outlet that concentrate the flow and maintain the pressure in the line. This works like when you were a kid squezzing off the flow at the end of the hose with your thumb and the water shoots farther, or in simple terms restict the flow and the water pressure behind it increases (up to a point).
I have seen these in Garden Supply stores, Hardware Stores (seasonally) and Home Supply stores, like Lowes and Home Depot (seasonally).
Another nozzle that can restrict the flow even further is an Adjust-a-Power Nozzle, which is a short twist nozzle that has an interior rubber tube pinched by bearings to create a finer stream with the most hitting force and reach possible from the 100 PSI or less available from your household water supply.
Keep in mind that the smaller the nozzle orifice the smaller the flow rate, at a given pressure, and if it is the volume of water you are depending on to do the cleaning, you may take a while.
If you go the route of a traditional Pressure Washer Wand and tip, you will need to make sure you get an adapter (or a series of adapters) to convert to the thread needed for the inlet connection on the Pressure Washer Wand. That done you are again limited by the 100 PSI or less available from your household water supply.
Good Luck

what are all the things required to put on a racing steering wheel?
Benjamin
Ok so i want to replace my steering wheel in my 95 Ford T-Bird. I know that you need a steering wheel, a steering wheel hub adapter. What else is needed to install a steering wheel?
Answer
You will need a steering wheel puller, a ring spanner to fit the puller (center thread) a large socket and drive to fit the steering column nut and depending on the steering wheel some small sockets, a phillips head screwdriver or allen keys.
1. undo the battery
2. remove steering wheel center
3 undo horn wire - if it is central horn
4. place large socket on the visible nut in the center of the steering wheel, with one hand on the socket, push and with the other hand hang onto the steering wheel. It may be very tight.
5. remove the nut and washer
6, there should be some small threaded holes in a triangular shape around the center of the steering wheel locate them then test which bolts from the puller fit and thread into the holes, remove the bolts
7. place the puller base over the center of the steering wheel with the machined face towards you.
8. replace the bolts you just removed ensuring that the bolts slip into the channels on the foot tighten the bolts down as far as possible by hand ensuring the foot stays level and has even pressure on all the three bolts (1/2 inch of play is good)
9 thread the large center bolt into the puller and tighten by hand
10 check to make sure the bolt is centered on the steering column
11 when you are satisfied use the large ring spanner to tighten the puller, it will not tighten ,but will slowly pull the steering wheel off the column.
12 once the steering wheel is separated from the shaft remove the puller from the steering wheel
13 attach the steering boss to the steering wheel - do not install the horn pad
14 lightly place the steering wheel and boss onto the steering column, remember to feed the horn wire through the boss
15 ensure the steering wheel is straight, give it a slight wiggle to ensure the teeth are aligned
16 press the steering wheel down firmly
17 replace the large washer and nut that you originally removed from the center
18 tighten the nut with the large socket till there is no more movement
19 connect the horn wire to the horn pad and install the horn pad (socket, screw driver or allen keys
20 remove all your tools and mess
21 re connect the battery
22 stand back and admire your work.
