Anyone use Fire Hose Nozzle?

At Advance Auto this weekend I saw a "fire hose nozzle" by Carrand. Has anyone tried it, and if so how do you like it? The picture showed a setting that looked like it might be useful for sheeting. It would be much easier than having to take the spray nozzle off the hose and creating a mess.
 
go to sears and get the craftsman firehose nozzle (lifetime warranty) and pick up a quick disconnect if you want to pop it off and just the hose. here's a cool little video from a fellow member using a firehose nozzle...

is the one you wanted to get blue . . . iv seen those at kragen and my buddy has one, great spray, good flow, but the dam on off valve sucks . . . its so hard to turn ofn and off.



id buy the one above personally



i got mine from autogeek , and i was 20 bucks, kinda of a rip off but mine is pretty beefy, alumnium housing, rubber coating over all of it, solid brass internals
 
Thanks for the replies. The one at Sears looks pretty good. Guess I'll have to give it a try. My spray nozzle is looking pretty bad anyway.

IIRC,Bonaire makes the craftsman for sears? I purchased mine from Amazon for $16.00 they also have the Aluminum Bonaire in different colours.If you dont have an X amount of water pressure from the spicket the nozzle wont be of much help..
 
You can buy the BonAire unit at Home Depot. I think it's around $20. I simply don't have adequate water pressure to make it work...gave it to the wife to water the gardens.

I bought one a few months back. I didn't like it and took it back. I've been using a brass nozzle sprayer. It puts out more water than the Fire nozzle I purchased.



Grimm, this is what I use ( I don't believe it's from sears) but the brass nozzle has taken more abuse than any other nozzle I've used and is still going strong. I've had a brass nozzle for at least 7-8 years with no problems what so ever. Before this I used my parents brass nozzle for at least 5-6 years with no problems.
 
I use the one pictured at top. Or one almost exactly like it and I like it. No problems, except if you drop it or accidentally kick it, it turns on and water starts spraying. Other than that, it is perfect.
