    Have to say my lance fitted my Mac like a charm and I was worried about the fitment as its an old B&Q PW but it’s the Bosh fitment and seems ok…..had it off and on a few times switching between HD lance and the one that I use to rinse with.

    Used mine again yesterday our both the MINI's. My lance seems to fit in the handle no problems at all. It can be a tiny bit sticky at times, but for the most part, I just push in, rotate and it is held in place. No need for me to push onto the ground.

    A wee word of caution, if you do have to push the lance head onto the ground to get leverage to get the head attached, be careful you don't damage the two blades inside the head. Make sure it's a flat surface.

    My PW is just a cheap B&Q effort, a Mac Washer and has done me proud over the last few years, I had to wait till the HD lance came out with all its fittings you can now get before I could snow foam right………….110Bar 360L/PH
