I want to get a patio cleaning head to use with my Homebase Pro 360
pressure washer - will the Karcher patio head fit?

Don't know but I do know that Karcher fittings do not fit the Aldi
pressure washers of a few years ago.

But the Aldi patio cleaning head does fit Karcher (and other) PWs. Was on
discount last week (1/2 price) so I got one. Works well with my Karcher.

Karcher as the world leader tend to set the standard, but that doesn't
mean it will fit.

Alas suck it & see is the only way. There are dozens of different
bayonet fittings for DIT presure washers.

Which others?

My (fairly old) Draper washer has a long bayonet fitting which doesn't
appear to match any of the current offerings.

I have not collected the tuits to actually ask Draper for advice:-)

Be nice to discourage her indoors from blasting crap all over our black
feather edge boarding!

My Karcher patio cleaning head, on a Karcher washer, does not thoroughly
clean stone paving. Have to use the lance and get in trouble with the
management for splashing the windows.
