Orbit 58228D Lawn & Garden 7-Pattern Plastic Pistol Hose Spray Nozzle
This nozzle really fits the bill with good spray patterns that work well, good water pressure and good ease of use. Because it's plastic, I'll have to take it in for the winter lest it leak next season, but so far it doesn't leak at all. Each of the patterns is distinct in its function and useful and something about the design allows great water pressure where you need it even if you have a well and lower pressure overall, as I do.The gentle shower pattern, a favorite for me, works really nicely with a nice overall spray and decent enough pressure to water the back of my 8' deep garden as effectively as the front. The jet is great. The pattern ring doesn't turn quite as easily as my Toro nozzle, nor is the trigger quite as easy to squeeze, but both are quite doable even with arthritis in my hands and the lock is easy to flip into place so you don't have to squeeze the trigger for long periods. The patterns are so much more effective than the more expensive red and silver Toro, I'm definitely replacing others with this one when needed. I'll leave the Toro on in the winter, because if it cracks and leaks, I won't really care. This is a great nozzle that meets a lot of needs from vegetable gardens to potted plants.
I concur with another reviewer: This is the BEST ever. The mist, to use but one example, is actually a mist--perfect for my tiny rootings and seeds. Even though it's plastic, it feels substantial in the hand. At this price, too, how can I go wrong even if it only lasts a few seasons?
ReplyDeleteI got this in conjunction with a new platinum hose that is silver on amazon. Make sure you check that out also because it's amazing. I hooked this up with my new hose, and I found not one little speck of water running from it when it was attached. I was so shocked because I have never used a hose sprayer where it didn't leak at least a little. After my jaw dropped 10 inches I used this to water the ant seeds I just surrounded the house with. I used the shower setting and it is awesome for watering plants and the ground. I've tried all the other settings and they were very cool, too. Definately get this for the price it is listed at!
