I have a jobmate pressure washer which has developed a hairline crack

It is rated at 1500 PSI. I tried just a jb weld patch and it blew off.

Time to buy a replacement.

You may be correct, but I'll try the fiberglass or metal wrap and hose
clamps first. It is only cracked because it got dropped on the cement.
