The purchase photos clearly show a brass spray tip and faucet fitting. The actual device is very flimsy plastic. The wand material seems like a soda straw. This device will not last at all. This is crummy false advertising. What you see is not what you get. I'd return it, but my experiences with returning goods to Amazon have been dismal.

Nozzle is not brass as pictured. The tube is plastic as well. That alone would should tell you not to buy this.

I'm using this to water plants and fill our humidifier and it works fine. The only problem encountered is the adapter supplied does not have enough depth to screw into the faucet and then attach the hose. I went to Home Depot and bought a standard sink to hose adapter for about $3 which solved the problem.

Vendor delivers fast and everything is in perfect condition when it arrives. The hose is slow, but compared to water all over me or the floor, it is a small thing to worry about. I guess I need to learn how to slow down in any case, as I rush through life in nearly everything I do. Great for fish tanks too. I only have to fill my bucket for tank water preparation half full now, and finish it up with my hose.....again, a work in patience, but well worth it compared to backaches carrying water too heavy, or water all over the floor.

I bought this for my husband to water his vegetable garden and it only lasted 4 months before the lever broke off of it. It worked well up until then..but, I wouldn't recommend it for outdoor use.

This is the second Rumford watering tool I have owned. The first one gave me 10 years of good service. I especially like this model because the tip of the wand screws off to deliver a thin stream of water for filling fountains or watering large floor plants. I have owned the more inexpensive coil watering tools, but this one is worth the extra $ for indoor plants where unintended water leaks are to be avoided. The wand is 14", long enough for hanging plants. I have the hose attached to an extra faucet installed in the sink in my sun room sink. Note on low reviews: Read the description. This is not a fire hose. This is not a garden hose. It is intended to be a low volume hose for misting and watering indoor plants.

For the most part all of the components are very good. However,
the spindley hose falls way short for actual use. If the hose
were a larger diameter then this would be a good tool to have around.

maybe I got a "lemon",but this product needs some improvement. First,the thumb "trigger" broke.After I used some ingenuity, I was able to fix this by drilling a hole and inserting a metal bolt. Then the hose to faucet adapter would blow off the faucet when even a little water pressure was involved. This I solved by super gluing the plastic adapter together. It works now (for how long I don't know).So. unless you like to solve problems, I cannot recommend this product.

While the photo looks as if the fitting at the end of the sprayer is made of brass, it and all the other parts are cheap plastic. I had another hose made by Smith and Hawkins that I bought a number of years ago and had it not been stolen, I would be using it today. It's sprayer was made of metal and the end fitting was all brass. Worked beautifully.

Received the Rumford indoor/outdoor coil hose with spray wand on April 22,2011. Today, 16 days later,as it was in use, the piece where it attaches to the faucet broke apart, sending water all over. I was lucky that I was using it outside. There is no way that I can repair it. Feel that it was money wasted. I had a similar product for 6-7 years before it gave out.
