OA Wand
« on: August 14, 2020, 05:20:00 pm »
I bought a wand to start some OA treatments this weekend. Rather than haul a battery around and maintain it or pop the hood on the truck, I soldered on in a trailer light plug, did some heat shrink and electrical tape. I?ll report back, but it didn?t take long to heat up.

I?ve got it running right now. Seems to be doing the trick.

On a side note, look at the pollen coming in. I thought I?d get them on this rainy cloudy morning, but they are out anyway.

The wires got a little warm on the fourth round, but I did get distracted and let it run a little long. Just make sure your vehicle harness can handle however many amps your wand draws.

It has to be goldenrod. The only other thing going here is crepe myrtle.

Gave them round two of their treatments today. The hitch plug is still working great.
