Spray Nozzle for Garden Hose, Brass Tip Garden Hose Nozzle - Leak-Proof High Pressure Metal Water Nozzle Sprayer - Spray Gun, Ergonomic Trigger with Hand Free Lock, for Washing Cleaning Watering

UPDATE 5/31/31: Purchased in 2017, this nozzle did outlast all others I had previously, and the plastic handle cover has survived the UV of the sun. However, recently, I noticed that the unit would not shut off completely. Upon closer inspection it was found that the internal valve activation rod (steel, connects to the trigger) was not sliding smoothly and was binding inside the nozzle casting (aluminum) and not allowing the valve to close fully. Could not get it to work even with a little waterproof grease. Had to retire it. Lasted about 4 years.ORIGINAL REVIEW: Your average pistol style store bought garden nozzles often have plastic triggers and other parts that easily break, rot in the sun, and just don't last but a few years. I bought an all metal product similar to this Wislight sprayer a number of years ago but it is not as HEAVY duty as this nozzle. This one has considerably more heft and feels VERY solid for an imported Chinese product. It has good flow and output, and the spray pattern adjustment puts out a very good range of pattern.Be aware that what appears to be a flow control knob at the top of the handle in fact is NOT one (despite similar appearance to other products that do) . It's a cover for the internal valve mechanism. I would have preferred a flow control model (thus only 4 star rating), but not a big deal. The supplied quick-disconnect adapter in the end mates to and must be purchased separately from this manufacturer's other product lines. I removed and tossed it and bought the American :) made Dramm 22729 Heavy-Duty Quick Disconnect (solid brass) with it's long history of reliability and manufactured quality (available on Amazon).This review was written as a first impression upon purchase. Despite this nozzle's solid workmanship, my only concern is how well the plastic handle grip will withstand the punishing UV exposure to the sun. It's often the biggest destroyer to anything left outside over time. Suggest you store the nozzle out of the sun to ensure longevity. All being said, I'm fairly confident this nozzle will outlast every other one I've purchased before it.

Sprayer started leaking profusely roughly 90 days post purchase from all the rubber to metal connections.

Pros- Durable, strong spray pressure, easy to use and adjust.Cons - Spray pattern in Jet setting is too wide. Wish it was more of a tight stream, stream is strong but broad.The red O ring to seal the threads WILL come out, word of warning, dont lose it or there will be water leaking all over you out of the handle.Luckily, I found it so im good, still 4 stars.

Leaks when not used with the quik-connect assembly, and just used with the hose connector.

The rubber piece on the tip fell off after a few uses, but that rubber tip is only cosmetic. Other than that it works well

Worked very well -- until my wife ran over it. It didn't survive. I liked it enough to get another one.

Studly nozzle... feels good in the hand and really like the pistol grip trigger. but... it leaks around the hose connection. I'm not using the included quick connect fitting and connecting directly to the hose... tried every hose I have... leaks. Tried tightening with pliers (should NOT have to do that)... leaks. Tried two real rubber washers... leaks. Tried two vinyl washers... leaks. I'm keeping it but sooooo disappointed. My 99cent store plastic one doesn't leak, why should this one at almost 20 bucks???

Stop what you're doing. Click on this item. Put it in your cart. And proceed to checkout. Look no more. This is the best hose nozzle I've ever had in my life. Awesome product. Awesome price. Don't search for any other. Just buy this.
