    I have the exact same problem with my k4, such a pain in the backside. Mines about a year old and the hose just kinks up when I wrap it round the karcher. I know their only budget machines but they shouldn’t be putting these crappy hoses on them. I’ll be giving them a ring. Thanks Harry

    Looks a great upgrade on what you had Martin. It certainly can transform the user experience and no doubt you will get slightly more flow with that setup just due to higher grade materials. Ultimately the look on your face and how enthusiastic you are about it makes it all worth while. I remember couple of years ago now when I spent £1000 in new Kranzle and all the trimmings, the difference is made to washing experience was immense.

    Hi Martin just a quick thank you I've been in touch with Keith at gleem detailing and managed to sort out an MTM SGS35 stubby gun
    and an MTM EXTENSION LANCE very pleased with my new toys and Keith was very helpful had my KRANZLE 1152 TST nearly 2 years now and bought 2 cheap stubby guns and lances in that time buy cheap by twice lol them MTM are expensive but you get what you pay for so thanks again for putting me in touch with Keith at gleem detailing 👍👍😁😁

    Think you explained and solved a massive problem that so many of have. My hose loops round and you have to forever pull it straight and unloop it to get it straight once again. Then you can't hang it on the wall is as it wants to unravel. Along with having to unscrew either end of the hose to store it neatly in the garage. Great solution you've got. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

    I'm actually blue with envy Martin, I thought I'd colour code my envy with that awesome hose you have! I only have a cheap Lidl pressure washer (in fairness it's been brilliant for the money) so I'm looking to do a big upgrade in one go, not sure what I'll go for yet, maybe a K7 but whatever I get I am definitely getting a better hose, gun, quick release, nozzles the lot! Like you my hose is a right PITA, it regularly tries to scratch the car as well as performing mind boggling tangle tricks seemingly while my back is turned! Thanks for another REALLY informative and interesting video, great stuff 👍

    Have a similar set up on mine & always empty the gun after use and hang it up to avoid any damage but being a driveway cleaner it doesn't get everyday use. I noticed a creak from the trigger recently and then noticed the plastic shroud on the quick release coupling had started to crack. Thinking that the coupling was gonna fail, i removed it and found the end of the gun was very rusty indeed and the plastic shroud is only actually a cover and underneath it is just like a standard knurled brass coupling. I sprayed WD40 down the gun & quite a bit of rusty debris came out . The creak is now fully gone & then a couple of sprays of Atom Mac should preserve it a little . Might be worth a try to prevent any problems in the future👍🏻

I will also buy it from Gleem as Im big on customer service and thats what you get from Keith. I have spoken to him a couple of time since I bought my set up and he is always happy to help. I have a selection of nozzles that quick fit into the gun so no issue there.
