Gilmour Full Size Zinc Pistol Grip Nozzle with Threaded Front, Silver (857302-1001)

Real metal not cheap plastic

Works great so far, easy to use, thank you, Amazon, for fast, Friendly Service. I did receive it but took day not over night what happen to prime.

It arrived has a duller finish than I thought it would be. I thought it would be a high shine chrome color, but it's a very dull, almost matte looking grey.This is a very powerful nozzle. It works well, but won't really give a soft,water can spray. It's either a fine, but fast mist or a very strong stream. It does have some recoil.Previously I had a longer nozzle that had more settings and I think I liked that better but I needed something more wallet friendly. This was a good, cheap, but well made alternative.

I'm currently on my second version of this, and for the price it is simply unbeatable. It shoots water farther and more precisely than any other sprayer I've used, and the way you simply use handle pressure to change the spray style works really well for different types of jobs (and is much easier than trying to find the perfect setting with the other sprayers that have clicking wheels for settings. I primarily use this for watering my lawn and outdoor plants, as well as washing my cars and bikes. It's tough despite living outside for years at a time. Hard to imagine I'll ever use another style.Only critique or note to mind: the metal body could cause scratches to car/bike finish or other surfaces if you're not careful.

So I originally made the mistake of buying some new, fancy, 'high-quality' spray nozzle from Amazon before promptly returning it and getting this one. While the other nozzle was solidly built, the stream was tiny and the control over the water pressure was lacking. This nozzle is able to put out a fine mist to a solid, powerful stream with total control. These qualities are what make this tried and tested classic the reigning champion of spray nozzles, IMHO.The simple metal construction means there are fewer parts to break, and when it eventually does, it is cheaply replaced. The metal trigger lever is a big plus -- most of the similar plastic wrapped nozzles also have plastic levers, which I've learned have a tendency to snap or crack up at the top where they pull on the little gold nut. I expect this one to last much longer because of this.The threaded front is also a big plus. These days, all sorts of convenient yard and garden products come in packaging meant to be screwed onto a garden hose to be sprayed. This means I don't have to run to the basement, close the water supply, and replace the nozzle twice, each time I want to use such a product, and it gives me more control over the application, since such containers usually have more rudimentary on/off valves.The only downside, perhaps, to this nozzle is the grip is hard metal and a bit narrow, so it isn't more comfortable than a rubber or plastic wrapped grip, but to be honest, it doesn't really make a significant difference to me. I am very happy with my purchase.

This cracked along the side. I turned it on today and got sprayed hard in the eyes. Return window is closed so I am just going to leave this message and recycle this thing.

This my second one of these. It's no-nonsense functional and well made.As adjustable as it needs to be.I like the threaded end for attaching spray bottles and such.Everything is Made in China so I won't go there. 🙄

I really like the durability and simplicity of this nozzle. Light squeeze, light spray--firmer squeeze, full-on blast. For the price this product is hard to beat.
