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

Speaking of Lidl come to think of it I actual took it apart with a Aldi  battery power driver. 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

Whilst vaguely on the subject of Aldi bargains. I picked up a 43ltr flexi tub out of there yesterday for £3.45, handy for clearing up leaves & other rubbish on a job

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