Foam lance for Kranzle

stimpson

I pulled the trigger on a Kranzle today and I figured it might be a good time to replace the foam lance I had for my Nilfisk(was never great TBH). Can anyone recommend a decent one? Most I’ve see were M22 thread instead of quick release.

Which Kranzle did you buy?
I am using the same foam lance I bought many years ago.
2015 actually,
Autobrite one, just flush it out after each use with a solution of APC. Seems to work for me.

A K1050TS.

I had a Nilfisk E145 replaced under warranty and after reading a few stories about similar issues I figured the build quality isn’t what it used to be. I sold it on and decided to upgrade. I still have the 9 month old E145 there too.

I’ll check out the Autobrite. The no name one I had was a bit temperamental.

Same washer as I bought, Fantastic washer. I have a quick release on my foam lance.

Yeah, they have a fantastic reputation alright. I saw a post on detailing world where a lad had been using the same once since 2001.

Cant find the autobrite in stock anywhere. Cleantec have a generic one with a Kranzle quick connect for €30 delivered. Just the adapter is €15, so I might as well grab it for that price. How bad can it be?

That's where I bought my kranzle.
Lance looks fine,
The only thing I might adapt on mine is put a swivel connector on it.

The Kranzle arrived this afternoon and the rumours are true. To say this thing is built like a tank would be an understatement. My only criticism is the hose is hard plastic, but should be cheap to replace as it's standard M22 fittings. The outlet is a bit snug against the hose holder and I can't get a quick connect onto it but other than that I've no problems.

And it's a beast. On paper it's less powerful than the Nilfisk E145 (450 vs 500 l/hr), but it feels like it's delivering more water. Maybe thats down to the dirt killer hose. Haven't washed the car yet as I'm waiting for the foam lance, but I've already (accidentally) stripped paint from a garden bench.

I got the UFO patio washer with it so will give that a blast later on.
