Yup, its Friday night, I stop over at my local Home Depot. I scrolled alone on the garden isle and saw this freaking Good Year Fire hose noozle. Man, it felt like Im holding Luke Skywalker Light Saber :up
For 9.97 you can`t beat that.

Nice find :xyxthumbs
If you have great water pressure, then it`ll rock. If not, your score is for not. :p
Have fun with it :)

I saw a plastic bodied version at the garden area of Walmart. It was also about $10.

I agree...Without good water pressure you won`t be able to get a good "shower spray" effect. Hopefully you have better water pressure than I do!

Well, sofar right now I`m still using the one tha I got from Wally Wolrd. I think it was made from Bajasol?(sp). Its still kicking...but man, when you compare both of them together. Its like comparing PC vs Rotary :shocked :woot:

The nozzle I have is an Akron. Can be used as fog or spin off the tip and becomes a smooth bore. The hose is Ponn 1 3/4 inches that is attached to the discharge of a 1997 Seagrave pumper!!

Off topic but...
The other day, during my shift, we had come back from a call when one of my co-workers approached me. He said that some of the volunteers, who are a good bunch of guys, were leaning against my truck.
Seeing how he had admired my detailing job, he shooed them off.
No harm done, but that made my heart skip a beat...Oxygen, I need Oxygen :D

Those are nice - touchy though! 1/8 turn off closed and you`ve got a weapon! My poor six year old picked it up and was looking right at it and gave it a twist. I was actually concerned that he might have done damage to his eye - all was well though.

man. tell us how it is after you test it out! i think its time to change my hose nozzle too. im still stuck with the metal/copper twisty one that can seriously damage paint (or cause dents) if your not careful.

Yeah, have you tried it out yet? How does it perform compared to the Wal-Mart Nozzle you have?
