Hi guys I haven`t been on Autopia much this year but I wanted to share my experience with a new item I found at my local Sams club. It seems to be a seasonal item so get it while it`s hot.



Sam`s Club - Fireman`s Nozzle (http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=360340)

This nozzle is super heavy duty and is by far the best I`ve ever used. It seems like it`s very durable and I hope it holds up for a year or two (or more). It`s made of rubber and the lever to control the water flow is very solid and has very smooth action. The water flow control mechanisms in similiar models leave MUCH to be desired. I`ve been through several of these "fireman" type hose nozzles simliar to the ones sold on Autogeek (bought from Wally World/Target so probably a lesser quality mind you) and those broke within one season and aren`t even close in comparison with the Sams offering. You can go from fine stream to a larger fan/"pouring out" type spray that works great for rinsing on a traditional wash. If you are doing traditional washes I would definately look into this product. And for $10 you really can`t go wrong.



I hope everybody is having a wonderful detailing season and I promise to come by/lurk here more often!

i have a BJ`s membership. I wonder if they carry something comparable. I go through quite a few cheap-o nozzles myself. busted o-rings etc....

Thanks for the heads-up, but they`re a no-go item for me at the two Sam`s Clubs in my area.

I like this nozzle because it has a soak feature for yoiur final rinse after washing.

I`ve seen these firehose nozzles and thought about getting one but I think I prefer having the 8 or so different settings on a dial like mine.

i also have one and it`s pretty nice, but it`s a little too big (i like using a smaller size in the palm of my hand). fwiw... target has the vroom firehose nozzles (lifetime warranty) on sale for 2 for $10 right now...
