Each plant in a garden differs from the next. The stalk of a calla lily is sturdier than that of a daisy, while rosemary grows hardier than basil. Each requires different placement, sun exposure, and water for optimum health. To provide ample precipitation in dry summer months, Gilmour offers this ratchet nozzle. With seven spray patterns, the nozzle accommodates delicate seedlings with gentle shower and mist patterns, while a flood pattern covers a parched potted evergreen or rhododendron bush. The ratchet nozzle also offers cone, sharp stream, full flow, and jet spray patterns. Crafted in metal with die-cast zinc, the sturdy nozzle resists damage from heavy use, dropping, and climate conditions. Water streams from the nozzle by squeezing the trigger--attached by a stainless-steel spring that resists rust and corrosion. For lengthy watering, the nozzle can be locked open to permit liquid to flow unhindered while bestowing relief for user hands and fingers. A ratchet is built in for enhanced control. Users turn a rotating dial to select the preferred spray pattern. The nozzle features a brass valve system that provides a leak-free connection to hoses with a 5/8-inch or 1/4-inch diameter. The vinyl grip is molded for greater comfort. This item weighs one pound and is covered by a limited, lifetime warrantee. --Jessica Reuling

This nozzle is junk June 28, 2006

This nozzle lasted all of about a week. It was used to was a car twice. On the second washing it was dropped from hand held height to the ground. The plastic on the back of the nozzle broke off. It is now unusable. Very poor design.
It broke in a hurry May 24, 2006

I ordered only one of these water nozzles even though I really need two; one for the front and the other for the back yard. But I thought I would get just one and see how it worked out. Well, the plastic handle has just broken and it is not even June yet! This is close to getting a Xmas present and then watching it break a few days later.
So I will try to order a new plastic handle from Gilmour but meanwhile, I will continue my method of ordering just one nozzle from another source until I find the right one. But maybe Gilmour will stand by their product and redeem themselves!
