No !
Moving plastic parts are a nono.

Which parts are you referring to -- and how long ago was your
experience? I have one of these new Hozelock metal lances and the moving
parts are metal, apart from the shaft length adjustment collar.

I have one with a busted plastic trigger which seems pretty similar to
the one in the url given by Pete C.

To correct myself, mine too has a trigger with a 'soft-touch' coating
(which I like for its comfort and warmth).

FWIW, I have a hose gun with a plastic trigger which has been in constant
use for almost 10 years without breaking.

I accept that there are different standards of durability.
It tends to be the cheaper ones that fail first.
What make and model is your faithful old ten year old ?

Pete
