I can confirm that the Parkside drain cleaning attatchment DOES come with an
adapter to fit Karcher lances. There don't seem to be many in stock so
hurry if you want one.

Yes, I bought one today - and also a patio cleaner.

They both came with identical adapters which look as if they'll fit my
Karcher washer - otherwise I wouldn't have bought them 'cos I haven't
got a Lidl washer.

*However* there's no way I can get either adapter to fit on the end of
the drain cleaner pipe, although they both fit the patio washer with no
problem. The drain cleaner's end fitting is metal and *almost* the same
size and shape as the patio cleaner's plastic fitting *except* that it's
got a conical bit at the base of the final tube which prevents it going
far enough into the adapter to be able to twist it into the locked position.

Anyone else having that problem - or is there just something wrong with
mine?

I assembled mine with my lance in the Lidl car park just to make sure it
fitted. It took a bit of wiggling but did all go together in the end.

Ah, sussed it! I've just had another look and discovered that the 6", or
so, flexible outer sheath at the supply end was getting in the way of
fitting the adapter. Slide that back a bit, and it's fine!
