Spray lance

  • Dare I say it but I’ve had my thrifty special from B&M and it still works fine. No leaks but it does get drained and stored in the shed.

    @Braidman - bit late to this discussion but (like @lily6) I also have a Geka lance. It's metal, it's comfortable to use, has a long reach and you can buy spares for it. It's never leaked and doesn't mind being dropped occasionally. I asked for it as a birthday present because it was a bit more expensive - but I fully expect to never have to buy another watering lance. Much better than the 3 or 4 plastic ones (Hoselock & Gardena) I've had (and eventually binned) in the past.

  • Hello  Topbird thanks for the info, I certainly would not recommend a Hoselock lance to anyone after the couple I have had.

    Cheers for now!

    @Topbird and @lily6 which connector do you need to fit a Geka lance to the hose please? (I currently have a Hoselock hose)

    @Meomye - the Geka has a standard Hozelock style male fitting to connect with a Hoselock style female hose-end fitting.

    The Geka is all metal so (if you have a plastic hose-end fitting) you will be fitting metal to plastic. Not necessarily a problem, but I prefer to use brass hose fittings. At the very least they don’t crack if you drop them....

    The answer to the question is Monty uses a Geka.
