Do you use a whirlaway/flat surface cleaner? If not then invest in one, there shouldn't be any vibration at all tfrom your lance anyway, if there is then you need to get your washer check out

If your using an FSC you can put a loose cable tie around trigger as a sliding loop to hold it on and slide it off.
I know, I know, do not do this on a lance

I do on lance pal. That 21 litre flow can be a strain.

P.S Cliff, I've added a few images of a tennis court we're cleaning to my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/BlastAwayCleaning

I have had a problems with this.
I went to the doctor as it got so bad it felt like it was broken.

He said it was RSI. I wore a splint for a few weeks and rested it as much as i could in between jobs and it was fine. It was because I was using my thumb when gripping the gun and constantly twisting....  its fine now

yep same gloves as Roger  ... we also use quick release guns with soft triggers cant remember proper name! too early..  once you squeeze trigger less pressure is required to maintain flow - hence less strain on your grip  ;D ;D 

Off subject partner took a call yesterday from a guy based around Potters bar - didnt take details apparently he is still having probs with Veolia - Roger do you know him  ??? ???  Or mystery person give me a ring direct 0800 number
