So I’m enjoying m’new Karcher K4 (and the 10m extension hose I got from Amazon is a god-send - gets right around the car without having to pick up and move the base unit at all). BUT, one thing that’s been bugging me compared to my old Nilfisk is the quick lock hose is ‘locked’ in one position when connected to the hose gun (i.e. it doesn’t swivel in’t gun’s socket). I’m finding this means the hose gets tangled/coiled up pretty easily. So I’m having to stop and re-straighten the hose a few times. Annoying.
Might have found a solution with some other added benefits though, so order placed...

It’s a ‘shorty’ gun, and the 3 different quick fit ‘stubby’ nozzles give different widths of attack. No more need for 3 feet of Karcher gun and lance - this is just 20cm(ish) of compact one handed alternative (leaving other hand to hold hose and keep away from your bodywork). Comes with a quick fit adaptor for my Autobrite snow foam lance, so that will connect directly to the shorty gun as well. Looking forward to trying this - will report back. Didn’t think it was a bad price (used the forum discount code ASNET for 10%)
