ESOW Garden Hose Nozzle, 100% Heavy Duty Metal Spray Gun with Full Brass Nozzle, 4 Watering Patterns Watering Nozzle- High Pressure Pistol Grip Sprayer for Watering Plants, Car Wash and Showering Dog

very well made. I like the trigger assembly. works very well.

Good quality no problems

It seems that over time, I keep buying nozzles that don't even last a season before they start leaking. I was attracted by this all-metal product, and the positive reviews.The nozzle has a nice feel in the hand, and appears to be made well. The spray is easily adjustable from a fine spray to a powerful single stream by a rotating knob at the business end of the nozzle. I find the squeeze handle just a little too short, so it could be more comfortable in the hand.At the same time I ordered this, I bought a Gilmore nozzle for another hose at Home Depot. I found the Gilmore nozzle absolutely reduced the pressure of the spray. This nozzle does not.However, where I think this nozzle falls short is that I don't see any way to adjust the pressure. It's pretty much either on, or off. There is a brass knob at the back of the nozzle, but it does not turn, or seem to have any purpose.The nozzle comes with a very limited instruction sheet that tells you only that the nozzle will be damaged if left out during a winter freeze, especially if there is water in it. It doesn't provide any info on the purpose (if there is one) to the mysterious knob on the back of the nozzle.Overall, a good product. It feels solid. It does not dribble or leak. The metal feels good in the hand - although I wish the finger lever were longer to fit the hand.Seems worth the additional cost for a solid, all-metal nozzle. Just wish the water flow could be controlled by pressure of the squeeze on the lever. Forget using it to water delicate plants in a flower pot. But excellent for washing down the deck.

This little nozzle is the best made tool in my pouch. It is heavy duty enough for any watering job and has a high pressure selection for hosing the patio. I will be washing my windows with this little jewel from now on. I already went back to buy more for my mom and daughter and another for the front yard as well as a spare. Needless to say I am a big fan of my ESOW Garden Hose Nozzle!

TLDR: Sturdy all-metal nozzle, great spray control, but lacks pressure adjustment. 💦👍🔧I've been on a bit of a nozzle odyssey, with many a purchase ending in leaky disappointment. This all-metal nozzle, however, caught my eye with its stellar reviews and promised durability.In hand, it feels like a tool of quality – substantial and well-crafted. The adjustable spray feature is a breeze to use, smoothly transitioning from a gentle mist to a forceful jet. It's like having a magic wand for water control.My one niggle is the handle. It's a tad on the short side, leaving something to be desired in the comfort department.Parallel to this purchase, I snagged a Gilmore nozzle from Home Depot for a different hose. A stark contrast, the Gilmore noticeably diminished water pressure, while this all-metal champ kept the pressure steady and strong.But here's where it hits a snag: pressure adjustment seems non-existent. It's pretty much full-on or off, with no in-between. A curious brass knob at the back appears ornamental rather than functional. And the minimalist instructions? They're more about winter care than explaining the enigmatic knob.Despite this, it's a solid piece of equipment. No leaks, no dribbles – just a reliable, robust stream of water. The feel of metal in the hand adds to the sense of quality, though I do pine for a longer lever for a more ergonomic grip.For those who value a hardy, lasting nozzle and don't mind the binary on-off nature, this is a worthy investment. It's like a trusty sidekick for tasks like washing down the deck, though perhaps a bit too robust for the more delicate gardening duties.

This is a well-designed nozzle, using high quality materials and construction. A front trigger nozzle is much more comfortable to use than a rear trigger. Rear-trigger nozzles also have the annoying habit of landing on the trigger and squirting me in the face when setting them down.The spray pattern is perfectly variable from jet to fine mist, and is not limited to 4 settings, as the description implies. The jet is just as strong as the very best nozzles I've used in the past. All of those nozzles have eventually cracked or leaked due to inferior materials. This one has lasted well. It's also great to have a latch to hold the trigger in the ON position to avoid fatigue. The nozzle can apparently be disassembled to lubricate the O-rings with silicone once they begin to dry, though I have not had to do that yet.This nozzle has been designed for a USA hose thread. Many similar-looking nozzles available online have a different hose thread, requiring an adapter that restricts flow, so watch out for those!The only drawback to this nozzle, is the lack of a rubber coating to insulate the user's hands from very cold or hot water. However, I should mention that I have also purchased a similar, rubber-coated nozzle, which is great, but this one remains my favorite for its smaller size and more comfortable feel in the hand. Also be aware that there is no flow control (the trigger is either on or off), which is not an issue for washing the car or watering the yard, but it could be an issue for watering more delicate potted plants (the mist spray is perfectly gentle, but has a wide cone pattern). If flow control is important to you, and you don't want to make adjustments at the faucet, you could install an in-line ball valve near the nozzle.I've used this nozzle almost daily for years now, and so far, it has performed flawlessly and lasted well, even through freezing weather (which cracked all of my previous plastic nozzles). Note, however, that when done, I always turn off the water supply at the faucet and leave the trigger latched in the ON position to drain the nozzle. That saves the hose and nozzle from extended pressure or expanding ice.
