I am looking for the best quality garden nozzle that fits the following criteria:
>fireman style trigger
or
>thumb style trigger
>no pistol grip
>no internal plastic parts
>usable spray settings (mist, jet, shower, flat. no other bs like flood, down angle, or cone)
been using Orbit brand but these cant take a drop, and start leaking.
Best I found so far is pic related. Unfortunately they dont have the style of trigger I want, and they dont have multiple spray settings. https://garrettwade.com/product/pistol-grip-nozzle
Been looking at FANHAO, and DRAMM but I see too much plastic, and useless spray patterns.
other HD sprayers like Tri-Con are all pistol grip with an adjustable nozzle. I do not like or want this style.
What can anon recommend?

that was a really informative video. he has lots of very nice videos packed with tips and info that you can't find anywhere else. thanks for the recommendation anon.

>>2798006
are you for real? all that cunt does is recommend stupid, overpriced garbage like that retarded garage door opener that doesnt work for half the people.
>>
>>2797971
the answer is 100 bucks for eley one, or stick to 20 dollar fireman hose that also very good at the price,but get the og amazing fireman hose. Eley stuff is quality, full port 1/2 brass valve in L shape, you can add any "tip" you want, or use theirs which are very good.

Their quick disconnects has thick ass brass walls and of nice weight they put all other ones to shame also unlike most they are 3/4 instead reduced for shitty connection. you will think most quick connect even those of brass are made of aluminum with how much brass they put in theirs.
btw a garden hose may be 5/8 or 3/4 but the actual id of where the water comes out is actually 1/2 , on the 3/4 hose you might get lucky and it's bigger but usually the actual fitting hole is 1/2. Sad part is they are heavy brass and machined but it's made in china, only the fucking hoses are made in the USA.

yes, if you want the best
80 100 dollars
for rubber hoses that are used in pressure washers

they can take high pressure
wont pop
and they can take high tempatures

you need at least a 80 100 for a ok one

They all suck because hard water ruins them and almost all municipal water supplies use hard water to save money. You can't ameliorate the problem by using higher quality fixtures.
>>
>>2801538
that's entirely based on your geographic area
some places naturally have hard water and some don't
>>
>>2801539
The vast majority have extremely hard water. Talking like 85 to 90 percent. Almost all domestic water sources have high concentrations of dissolved minerals and it's simply too expensive to remove especially in the volume levels municipalities are dealing with.

>>2801538
just drop it in citric acid solution you geriatric woman.

>>2801538
what are you complaining about
>LE HARD WATER
i got natural hard water cause of open aqueducts from Colorado river to give me water.
Never had a problem with fucking hose bib hose connection, I more worried about dissimilar metals and salt in the coastal air.
>>
>>2801538
op here,
i have well water full of iron chunks.
originally my water hose came out straight from the well, and all those chunks would clog my equipment and wear out all the plastic parts.
ive since had a whole house filter installed and then an iron filter and finally a water softener.
now my outside taps are filtered, so clogging is no longer an issue.
the eley metal screens are fantastic and wont wear out from some particles that still get through.
>>
>>2797971
I got a brass nozzle and zinc pistol grip from ace Miller. They screw into each other and you can get a precise jet all the way down to a mist. You won't have stupid stuff like a flat spray or whatever but it'll cost $20 and probably last for a decade if not more.

I've got 20+ nozzles and they all work so I'm not sure what OPs issue is.

The classic screw end ones are indestructible even in plastic, all things being equal I'd use them.

The trigger style ones have an internal rubber seal that wears out quickly, but can usually be replaced. If you oil the mechanical parts and replace the seals this goes a long way to stop leaking.

>I've got 20+ nozzles and they all work
If they all worked, then why the hell would you have 20+ of them? Like who the hell needs that many working hose nozzles?
