Good Garden Hose Sprayer Nozzle?

Post by RockinMyLawn » April 17th, 2017, 10:27 am

Any good recommendation for a good , reliable, heavy duty, hand held, multi-pattern, pistol style Garden Hose Sprayer Nozzle?

I had one I bought from Costco that lasted 4 years until I left it out this past winter (mild winter no less) & sure enough, the rubber surround gasket warped & when I squeeze the trigger, it's leaks water everywhere.

Would recommend something you folks swear by.

Thanks.

I like the Ace brand ones that are metal covered in black rubber with a green dial you turn at the front to adjust the spray pattern. Seem to last a few years. I forget who makes it but it's a nice nozzle and one of the designs that's been around a while. Only thing is, if you drop it on the driveway or sidewalk, it will break and start leaking immediately. So I don't drop it!

You could probably find or make a new gasket for it unless you're looking for an excuse to get a new one. You can usually find a certain size gasket and cut it to fit. I've never done it for a sprayer but have for other things.
