Ultimate Hose Nozzle

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

That's what I was thinking also. What yo spend in nozzles per year would probably come close to getting one of these that will last a lot longer. It will also save a lot of trips to the store. just typing out loud.

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

I haven't used a fireman nozzle before. I always use the standard multispray trigger ones at the local stores. I go through a couple every year because I chuck them around...

30 dollars is a little too high for me for just a nozzle.

You're a walking ad for the better nozzles. A couple a year in a cheapie nozzle or $20/$25 for one with a lifetime guarantee and much better performance seems like a no brainer to me.

Is this it?

Ive always wondered what nozzle mike used in his google video.

And I figured it would require lots of water pressure along with water flow to do good. Ive got a pump that I can hook up to boost our sad pressure of 10psi(at times) to 50-60psi. Works good but I dont always use it since it a hassle to drag out and hook up. Although I do use quick disconnects.

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

I have tried the fire nozzles before and IMO they are a pain in the butt to use because to get to the stream you have to go almost the entire way one way, then all the way back to turn it off to actually wash the panel, then back and forth, back and forth the entire time you are washing the car. I stick with my metal Gilmour Multi-Setting Spray Nozzle from Lowe's. Squeeze the trigger to turn it on and let go to turn it off.

that's why i use a shut-off valve and quick disconnects with mine...

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

I have one and it works very well. I like the rubber case around it because my usual pattern is to simply close the water off and the drop the hose to the ground and get back to washing the car and the rubber and stainless steel design mean it never breaks from repeatedly being dropped.

Same here. I noticed my cheap nozzle is starting to leak because i keep on dropping it. I guess i'm too lazy to bend down to gently place it on the ground

I used to have a nozzle like the UHN. I dont like the twisting thing. I like to have quick input into what i'm doing. The trigger nozzles make that easier.

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

sears also has a fireman nozzle that runs around $20 (sometimes less if it's on sale) and it comes with a Lifetime Warranty...

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

I have one from ADS that looks just like this one. (Not the Lexan one)

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

Just noticed Leo now offers a nozzle made out of Lexan?

Anyone try it yet?

[Mike Phillips]

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

I had an aluminum one and don't know where it is now days, think the rubber casing started to slip on the housing.

Also have the one Leo Cerutti sells, it's a little more spendy, supposed to work better with less water pressure but doesn't have the rubber housing.

They're both good nozzels and better than anything that uses brittle plastic as it will break when dropped.

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

Morning,

The pressure is very limited and nothing like a pressure washer in any way. The main reason I use it is for the rain setting where I am able to rinse the finish in a way that limits the beading making drying a little easier...

I kinda figured that. I am happy with my $4.99 rotating face nozzle from the hardware store although I seem to always step on the plastic trigger and break it.

Re: Ultimate Hose Nozzle

Cheap at $15.99, but it's aluminum; the guy in the video is claiming his version is stainless steel.

The real one is stainless steel.
