 Glad I got this one Jan 12, 2010
By J. Crouch
It took me a long time to pick between this and a couple other nozzles. Tons of great reviews on some of those newer style ones with lots of spray options, but they've got some bad reviews too.
I'm young, but I'm oldschool. I like my things to work and last for a long time. For a nozzle, you cannot beat this. I wanted nothing to do with the plastic ones, even rubberized plastic. This thing is brass and SOLID and will probably last me the rest of my life. I paired it with a Gilmour hose as well and I'm very happy.
As for the spray modes, it's just like all the other twist nozzles. Probably would not recommend this one for gardening, but I'm not a gardener. I use it to wash my bike, my car, my house, my driveway and various other things. I've got great water pressure here and this thing makes incredible use of it - very strong stream.
NOTE: this is not the cheap twist nozzle you may be used to. When I was younger, both my dad and grandpa had some twist nozzles on their hoses that were not so good. Difficult to turn and sometimes leaked. They were smaller too. This thing has some serious girth and does not leak. Twists very easily too.
If you're debating between the cool new plastic ones and this and you don't need a billion spray options, I highly recommend you get this one.

Well build and works like it should Dec 12, 2008
By RM
Solid construction, does not drip, and very adjustable. What more could you want? I bought a second one for the back yard.

Nothing Beats It Mar 16, 2009
By Marine66
You just can't do better than this good ol' fashioned brass twist nozzle. I've purchased and used the pistol grip and other types of water nozzles and they have all quickly failed in some way or the other. I will not try any other type - it was what I grew up with as a kid - my dad and my grandfather had and used this type of nozzle and to my knowledge the only reason they replaced them was because we kids managed to lose them somehow. Yeah, you have to go through a few more motions to use it, but it shuts off when you shut it off, it holds the spray pattern you set on it, and it is just about as durable as you can get. Plus, it works well with just about any water pressure, Buy it, use it, and have it forever. It just keeps on keeping on.

Old Time Quality Oct 17, 2009
By GratefulOne
Gilmour's Solid Brass Twist Nozzle is sturdy, easy to use, meets our needs from jet to mist. It's a time-honored, reliable work-saver.
Strong needle jet held at surface level blasts leaves and debris (easier than raking if you don't over-water). Makes light work of shooting packed dirt from boot sole treads, dirty crevices, etc.
Twist the nozzle, get medium spray for regular watering. Turn all the way for gentle mist. Be sure your connecting hose end is undamaged, or you'll be spraying yourself, as I did!

Nothing beats Brass - Last one you'll ever buy (unless you lose it) Jun 27, 2009
By R. P. Crockett

Solid Brass, multiple seals, turns easy, no leaks, great spray - just exactly what I expected!
Usual great Amazon service of course! Fast, and no damage!
I like this nozzle because you can set it to any type of spray, and it stays where you set it! Don't have to hold it a certain way, and it just palin works.
This is one case where the old way works best in my view. I've had the fancy ones, least 8-10 of em, and they break, or leak, or get hard to use (well water) but brass just works, and this one is quality made - lifetime return too!
