Lots of questions for them in the know??

I'm going to invest in the gutter lance and don't want to buy the wrong things like fittings, pressure washer etc,... I'm also looking at doing 3 stories high, unit cladding on business etc.

I seen a thread on here some weeks back about the gutter Lance but I can't find it in a search.

I have seen a lance for sale at Northerntool, Can anyone tell me what fittings it comes with? do these fittings fit most pressure washers? what do you use one the end for the guttering section, and what do I need to do the claddings of buildings with??

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi jeff1

Yes, they do fit most pressure washers.  You will need the washer lance of your desired length, best to go for the 7.3 m one.  You will then need a set of pressure washer nozzles to fit into it.  These they sell as a set of 5 with different angle of spray.  You will then need a 12 inch gutter cleaner attachment (item no: 1573211E).  In standard form the lance will do claddings, the gutter attachment will obviously allow you to do gutters.  If you are intending to do a lot of work with this, then it is worth buying the telescopic lance back belt (item no: 221555E) as pressure washing at height is very hard work.

Thanks Alex    Do you sell these Telescopic Lance's and bits? or will I have to go to Northentool for it all??

Unfortunately I cannot take your money this time, you will have to go to www.northerntooluk.com

If you already have a Omnipole Powerpole you can get  pressure washing attachments for that

  Never mind, perhaps you can start selling them in the future?
 
I need to do away with my ladders, to much guttering work this year thanks to the bad rain fall, but if I get the lance and pressure washer, I'll push guttering work instead of shying away from most of it.


Just had a look at the 7m one and it comes with a free backbelt

With the exchange rate the way it is I dont think you will get things cheaper from any other supplier.
Also Merrill is very informative

John I want to clean guttering not knock the birds out of the tree's  
Let me know how you get on with it?...it might be a good addition to have in the box along with the lance.

I did like the honda pressure washer, nearly bought it, but thought I better find out if anyone has bought one.

Very interested in that one John, How long have you had yours? and how often do you use it?. is it ok for commercial use, I have seen a lot of pressure washers that say unsutable for commercial work and costing around the same price.

Jeff
Bought my lance from Varitec £170 ish
And Got my petrol washer from macro £129 +vat
Just had to change the fitting on the lance to fit the washer  
Going to be using the waste water from my ro to do my gutter cleaning and jet washing

[Majestic]

I also had a Lavor from Macro , it was a ok machine but did not have the power so jobs took longer to complete.
I have had my washer for nearly 2 years now, it gets regular work, and makes easy work of it .
I spent about £1200 but with all the things I bought I saved about £800

[jeff1]

Thanks John very helpfull

Andy were is our local macro then?? I have never heared of them.
