The pressure washer lance is the pipe that comes out of the gun you hold, allowing more precise aim towards whatever you’re cleaning. Typically, the lances are constructed from metal or plastic, both being sturdy so that you have maximum control over your aim to blast grime away.
While some people like to buy metal lances for their machines, plastic does perform well too. It’s really something that comes down to personal preference, but those who use their washers very regularly tend to lean towards the metal varieties.

Buy A Jet Washer Lance
As with the power washers themselves, Amazon carry a wide range of lances that you can order for fast and easy delivery, sometimes as quick as next day if you’re a Prime member.
Here’s their current top lances:
Types Of Lances
We’ll go into a lot more detail on this in a future page, but for now it’s worth mentioning that there are several varieties of lance that you can buy, including telescopic lances for times where you need an extendible pipe for reaching further but with accuracy.
There’s also single and dual lances too, which allow you to configure different pressures with a valve to be more flexible when cleaning more delicate areas and avoid the need to keep swapping the parts over. Some people call the latter type double lances, so just be aware that the terms are used interchangeably.
Lance And Gun Sets
It’s also common to see parts sold in sets, and the lance and gun set is a regular one you’ll find to buy. Quite simply, you get a complete set of parts to fit to your pressure washer hose rather than buying them individually. If you’ve got a new pressure washer and need it all then it can be a cheaper way to buy, but if you’re just replacing a worn or damaged lance it may not appeal so much.
Lance Brands
Like the pressure washers themselves, there’s a lot of brands offering lances and sets to buy, and many of them use universal connectors, so mix and match tends to work fine. With that said, if you’ve got a well know brand of machine, you’ll likely want a good quality hose, gun, trigger, lance and nozzle too, so that you don’t have any weak links in your kit.
Let’s have a quick look at the more common high quality brands.
Wilks Genuine USA
One of the most popular brands we see bought by our readers are the Wilks USA pressure washers. Let’s start with them, as they’re also likely to be popular items readers are searching for in terms of spares.

Draper
Another popular jet wash brand here at PetrolPressureWashers.com is Draper, with their range of premium machines.
Unsurprisingly, their parts are a little more expensive than the budget brands, but they do offer high quality in terms of precision of aim. Here’s some of the common lances you might like to consider if you have a Draper unit.
Karcher
Kärcher are always a well known name when you look at pressure washer accessories. While they’re usually associated with electric rather than petrol pressure washers, like we said in our examination of detergent and cleaning products, they’ve also created a decent range of products to go with them.
Bosch
Sticking with the big names, Bosch should be highly recognisable as a name supplying a wide range of power tools and accessories. They’ve got pressure washer parts available too, including these at Amazon:
