The lance is about 8 years old and well abused. Now it's been repaired (trigger replaced) as I never throw any bits away.

Then just pulled out the pin that holds the trigger in place, swapped it for a spare I had from an old broken lance. Then used the Aldi power driver again to reassemble the two parts of the gun. Good old Aldi to the rescue again as only took less than 5 mins... Job done. lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG6gM3isBSk

I use those too Rob. They come in handy for many things including storing gutter vac hose, nozzles etc.
