Don Truex: This nozzle works as it should and is well-made. Fit and finish are much better than cheap imports and the spray patterns are easily adjustable and stay where you put them. Buy this one instead of wasting money on cheap knockoffs.

Rosebud: We have a lot of trees and thus a lot of birds...right over our brick pathway. The most concentrated stream gets bird poop off the bricks with ease, and even going with a little wider stream you still get a lot of power. Haven't had it too long (a month or two) but no leaks and seems well made, screws onto hose easy etc. You can also turn it all the way off if you need to set the hose down to move it or something, which comes in handy. Very pleased with it as I've had others that just didn't work right in one way or another.

T. Wessels: After years of going through plastic nozzles that broke or leaked severely, I took a step back and decided to use a brass nozzle that I used to see on hoses when I was a kid. This one seems to work well, but I will be watching for any signs of bad behavior.

colin hoopercolin hooper: Easy to adjust stream of water for fragile annuals that get knocked over with heavy stream of water. Able to water annuals without flattening them. Or can get a mist for potted plants.

isoseeker: Better than I expected. Simple operation, variable water spray pattern and very well built with a nice weight to it.

erin: Finally the nozzle I was looking for. I didn’t grow up with these, even my mom had those cheap plastic ones. Wow. What a game changer, never going back... the ability to make slight tweaks to the pressure by turning the nozzle feels so natural... no awkward clicking and snapping and trying to find the one of a million settings you want. I love this nozzle.

HKDAVEY68: Due to leaks, just replaced the two small O-ring washers inside the twist turn handle of this nozzle, purchased in May 2017. The original washers wore out evenly, looked in good shape. That means product inside extremely well made. Nozzle used on an outdoor hose that watered a veggie garden (approx 30' x 30') in FL, whenever no rain. Soapy warm water helped to remove small O-ring, if tweezers not available. Naturally the color of nozzle dulled over the years, still its condition looks brand new, as it sat outside all the time. Surprisingly, Gilmour did not put its name on this nozzle, no markings at all. My wife says that this was the only nozzle used. Nozzle was so easy to remove from hose by hand, as teflon tape was used at connection. Replaced that big washer inside connection, which melted a bit, so had to thoroughly clean connection. Such a well made product, so glad to have bought it.

Simon: Tough finding quality brass nozzles these days that don't restrict water flow. I don't need the government to tell me how much water I need to wash my truck, or even water the friggin tomatoes!! But these nozzles are about as good as you'll find. I waited a long time to review this product and overall I'm satisfied. I bought 4 or 5 at the same time and only one has malfunctioned due to a rubber seal screwing up. They don't make em like they used to, but this product is damn close.

Timbo Slims: For the longest time, I had three brass hose nozzles. One in my backyard, one in my front yard, and a floater that went camping, in the RV, etc. One of those nozzles I purchased from Lee Valley (which I will call #1 for this review), and it was all brass, and I had it for at least 10 years. The second, or #2, I am not sure where I bought it, and had it for at least 15 years - I am thinking Home Depot. The third one (#3) was a semi-recent purchase from Home Depot (5 or so years old?) and it was brass with that blasted plastic / rubber coating over the nozzle.

Recently, I noticed that the Lee Valley nozzle (#1) and the HD nozzle (#3) were leaking / dripping no matter how much I tried to torque them down. I even tried new O-Rings to no avail... they would leak no matter what. However, the oldest nozzle (#2) still worked flawlessly, and did not leak or drip. Plus, the #2 nozzle had the best / tightest spray pattern on the coarsest setting, and moreover, when turning the nozzle and cycling through the different flows, it transitioned smoothly from start to finish, and finished up with a fine mist and wide spray pattern. The other nozzles were not as tight a pattern, and were not...
