View Full Version : Great Nozzle
I admit to having wanted that beautiful $75 water hose nozzle they sell over at Griot`s, but I just can`t bring myself to do it. Anyway, Brookstone sells a respectable copy for $20 and all you need is a $2 shutoff valve from your local Ace hardware. I used it for the first time yesterday and I was able to get a beautiful wide column of water that I felt was much more effective in getting the crud off prior to washing as well as just rinsing off the soap in general. Excellent product.

Target has a similar nozzle for about $10, I love mine.

I use one of those old style metal "twist on, twist off" nozzles. Its the most durable nozzle I`ve ever had! I`ve had it about 5 years now. Others have broken when dropped or some internal part breaks, or maybe the trigger mechanism gives out. Should be able to pick up a metal one for about $2!

I also use the one where you twist it to turn on and then adjust the output of the water. By turning it more or less it works great and IMO its the toughest thing I used.

I have a hard tiome with someone paying 75 bucks for a water nozzle, IMO it should wash the car off for you at that price. However I am in the market fro a new one I ran over my last one by mistake. So I think that I will make my way to Target
I don`t like the one featured in this thread....or any like it. It takes two hands to turn it off and on and I like the ones with a trigger handle that take only one hand to operate.
That`s true Jim, but that`s why you need the $2 switch from Ace to let you shut it off quickly and without changing the water setting. I think this nozzle allows more effective washing due to the wide, strong spray you can only get with this type of device. If I had my drothers, I wouldn`t use a nozzle at all, but local water laws require it. It`s also too wasteful, laws or not.

Guys,you can get the exact same,identical,no difference at all...Worlds Best Nozzle made by Bonair at Home Depot for 19.95. I got two of them there.I love them.Best nozzle I ever used.
Went to HD the other day and they had a huge display of them just inside the entrance.
While youre there,go to the section where all the cleaning supplies are and get one of the yellow wash buckets they sell at Griot`s for 40.00, for only 18 bucks...and grab a couple more of those Zep spray bottles too.
