Gardiners backpack sold out
« on: May 25, 2020, 01:34:10 pm »
Hi guys

Looks as though Gardiners backpacks are sold out until Mid July looking at website. Are there any other backpacks anyone recommends that are as good as gardiners or even better? Thanks

That's what I use mine for - theres a video at the bottom of the listing if that helps

All I do is cut the pipe - fit a rectus fitting and then plug in my pole hose

I have a gardiners  backpack - 2 identical to gardiners with different branding  stamped on them - 3 other various models like the one in the eBay link and a mobi17 - bike "pressure washer" they all perform the same, all take chemicals and other than the odd wire falling off ( yes that also was on gardiners backpack ) have been excellent
Major difference is price,.....

I’ve just read these responses. Thanks for the info. I would need to fit a rectus 21 on the end(or whatever comes on the end of the gardiners backpack) but sounds like it’s just a case of cutting and putting one on with an O clip 👍

Hi Darren

Does the lancer sprayer for this backpack just come off and then you put a rectus fitting on the end of the black lead? Is this a standard 5mm fitting (rectus 21) or I think you can get a 6mm fitting also? Thanks

Slacky, if you click the original link for the backpack, then copy and paste the item in the ebay search bay it will come up with another brand new option for £39,99. Sorry, cant post a direct link  at the mo.

Hi Slacky

If you go into the sellers listings you will see he has more for sale at £39.99. I’ve just bought one. For £40 it has to be worth a try as per Darrans advice.

normally the lance has to be fitted to the end of the hose supplied with the backpack - I just cut whatever fitting off their hose and put on a rectus fitting

Looks very cheaply made.

They're all cheaply made in China. Imo there's really no difference in the quality of most of them.  The one Gardiner sell is made by Kobold, they just get their logo printed on it and supply it with the fitting we like and a UK plug.
