Our Story

The beginnings

Over ten years ago, two mountain bike buddies from the UK, Gary and Damian, stumbled over the idea for an all-in-one© portable pressure washer when they would come back from a ride with completely muddy bikes that they didn't want to have to clean when they returned home.

The first thing they did was improvise with a garden spray to which they attached a 12 volt tyre inflator, but they weren't satisfied with this solution. So their quest to create a specific product began.

After approaching a number of companies about the idea, and being turned down, the project was put on hold.


2006

While the Dirtworker was just becoming available in Europe, a partner was sought for the USA and Canada markets and the rights sold to Techtronic Industries (TTI) a world supplier of domestic appliances and power tools.

2007

The first TTI Dirtworker - which was orange in colour - was launched. Shortly after its launch it was decided to change the name to NomadTM.

2008

TTI replaced their first product with two new ones. This development introduced the military style design available from this site but, more importantly, the world's first cordless all-in-one pressure washer, making it the world's first completely portable pressure washer.
