Another Quality Gilmour Product

Whenever I've strayed and bought nozzles by other manufacturers, I've regretted it. Gilmour solid brass nozzles are the best; I've never had one wear out, even after decades of use. And, with the rubberized coating, twisting the nozzle to adjust the spray is a breeze, even if your hands are wet and muddy. These would be the nozzles of choice for anyone with arthritis or reduced hand strength (although, admittedly, they are not as aesthetically pleasing as the plain brass). The nozzle has been in use for a year now and works just as well as the day it arrived.

I bought this excellent twist nozzle (#528) along with the Gilmour shut-off valve (#03VHF) and these two pieces working in tandem are perfect for not only the low pressure gentle watering of yard plants but also for high pressure spraying of vehicles, driveways, sidewalks, etc. The solid brass construction and sturdy feel of the moving parts tell you right away that Gilmour has designed exceptional garden hose attachments which will last for years to come.

Although I partially prefer pistol grip nozzles because of the control with one hand, this nozzle is a winner. I am using this because the pistol grip hoses always get caught like hooks for me as I drag the hose. I am not gentle with my hose and this nozzle does not mind one bit! The rubber is great quality and doesn't look any different after a couple months usage. This is not your typical Made in China throwaway. This will last for many years.

The spray patterns are also great, a variable controllable mist along with a great high pressure stream. I primarily wash my car and driveway with this.

I actually ended up buying another one of these at Lowes. Should've checked there first to avoid the shipping cost through the Amazon.com third party seller. Oh well. I've used the nozzle to wash my cars and to water my grass and plants. The twisting option gives you a variety of stream patterns/strengths for anything that I would need it for. Another solid Gilmour product.

Durable, solid, good performance, just what I wanted. No drips, seals well. I purchased this particular nozzle because the types with handles catch and snag when useing my hose reel. It does an excellent job.

This is the very best hose nozzle on the market. I have tried everything else and there is no comparison. Good old fashioned heavy brass with two O-rings and a silicon hose washer that does NOT LEAK.

You can not go wrong with this.

When I turned the hose on, the top of the nozzle flew off. The parts cannot be put back together. This product was useless.

For most watering around the house I use a Dramm nozzle with multiple settings. There are times, however, when I prefer using a classicly styled brass nozzle, specifically the Gilmour 528. This is a nozzle with a solid feel that attaches to my hose firmly with no leaks or drips. Also the spray from the nozzle comes out in a precise pattern with no stray sprays to the sides.

The Gilmour is my nozzle of choice for washing the car. I can use a gentle stream to fill the bucket and wet the car and a stronger stream to rinse. The thin, concentrated stream is great for wheels, tires, and some stubborn spots on body or bumper. The thin, hard stream is also good for rinsing off sidewalks or driveways.

I also like using this type of nozzle for watering individual plants instead of a sprinkler. You can set the spray precisely and lay the nozzle under the plant for an extended period for a good, deep watering.

With its quality of materials, aesthetic good looks, easy control, and flexible functionality, the Gilmour 528 is a nozzle to consider serious.

You just can't beat these classic nozzles. There is nothing to break or wear out. I have purchased so many plastic type nozzles that have multiple settings and don't last one year. Buy one of these and end your problems.

Sorry I bought this. Can't really adjust to my liking. Should have returned this.
