Firehose Nozzle....

**imported_Erik Mejia** · 10-21-2009, 02:29 PM

I own a Craftsman brand fire hose nozzle and it works great, can`t live without the darn thing when I wash.

I to own the craftsman fire hose Nozzle and it is excellent, a must have for me when I am washing my vehicles.

I use mine with a 3/4 inch hose, though I think it would have higher pressure with a 5/8 hose.

All Fire Hose Nozzle`s are not created equal I bought 2 that I returned before I tried the Craftsman one, and it was cheaper also. Plenty of pressure and very tough.

I`ve owned a Bon-Aire Ultimate hose nozzle for a number of years. One of the best all-time purchases. I`ve never been easy on hose nozzles and went through many before this purchase, they all either broke when dropped or just quit spraying a consistent pattern. I picked up another after a year of use because I didn`t want to be without one again. That one remains brand new in its original packaging because the first one appears to be indestructible.

Wow, I see a trend. Everyone on page1 hated the nozzle and everyone on page2 loves it.....Weird Stuff Man, Weird Stuff

i like and use the firehose nozzle in conjunction with quick disconnects and a shut-off valve. when done using the foam gun, i can quickly attach the firehose nozzle and turn it to one side (blooming pattern) and use the flood method to get as much water off as possible before drying...

:iagree:

I bought a Gilmour firehose nozzle with a pistol grip from HD or Lowe`s and it was AWFUL. Then I bought another one made by Goodyear and it`s great. I think this type of nozzle is more hit or miss than other types.

I`ve got 2 of the fire hose type nozzles from Home Depot at about $20 each. Even bought one for my mom who had one of the old cheap trigger sprayers. Made in USA and very tough. I`ve had mine for 5-6 years with no problems.

FWIW, I have the aluminum version of that (can be purchased at Northern Tool now). I have been very pleased with it. I have high water pressure, and it does fine for me for fender wells, etc. Have been using this one for about a year. Before that, I used the standard brass twist on/off.

Not sure why I changed really...I liked that thing.
