Hose nozzle

[Coopers ST]

Hey all,

this year i will will be in the market for a new hose nozzle. The one I have now is kind of worn out. I say that not because it leaks, but because everytime I put it down the setting changes to halfway between two settings. It's is annoying and well, time for a new one. I see some like the Griots one for $100 and others for $5. Is the really expensive ones really worth the money?

thanks

This Orbit nozzle I got at Wally World has been phenomenal. I’ve had it for at least 6 months and it still works like new. No leaks. It’s on right now in this picture, just the dial on the top has it shut. This thing is solid! I only paid $10.



I went through so many lame nozzles before I bought this 1.

I bought a Gilmour one last year and like it.



I have thought about buying an Eley one after seeing it in one of OrangeVee’s videos. It’s nice and compact but a bit pricey.

Oh, and does yours have a screw on the face of the dial. If so just tighten it up.

I have one made by Ikris that has a thumb control for the water flow. I wouldn't want to go back to the hand control ones.

I would say you'd be hard pressed to justify a $100 nozzle. Griots is a great brand but I often question their pricing as I find it to be generally higher than other quality brands.

This 1 does have a thumb dial, just like I described in my post.

Does it have a flood setting for quicker drying?

Nope. I made my own and hooked it up to a quik connect.

Some Gilmours have a lifetime warranty. I broke the section where the garden hose connects. Emailed them some pictures of it and they sent me a whole new one free of charge.

I might go with the thumb control next time.

I couldn’t decide when I bought that one and they offered both styles.

The Gilmour I posted has the click on/click off trigger so it’s either on or off, no in between.

That’s been fine. The only place I might want to be able to adjust the flow would be rinsing door jams, but I normally just rinseless wash them if they are not super nasty.

I was really tired of breaking the ones that were make of plastic. The Gilmour has held up well against my abuse.

Edit: Sorry, I’m not bashing the plastic one posted above. That looks reasonably stout with little to break. I’m talking about the regular old squeeze style ones, even the metal ones of those break fairly easy if you drop them.
