Yes, I bought it at Lowes for $19.95. I returned it promptly the same day. No jet stream, just a limp shower. For something that looks like that, I expected much more. The Lowes person said she sees a lot of those come back for the same reason.

Agreed. I bought one from HD and was far from impressed.

I have not, but I have tried several (such as the one from Chemical Guys and AG), but only one has proven to be the best for me Ultimate Stainless Steel Hose Nozzle. It produces a pretty strong stream of water and is very well built.

What a coincidence, I washed today and accidentally ran over that nozzle. The top is a little bent but it still works perfectly. Well built for sure.
 
Wow, I guess I may have been ripped off! When it comes in I'll give it a try.

Seriously, looking at that thing and then seeing what it does you'll be upset. Trust me I was. I expected a lot more in terms of power/force.
 
I will carefully uppack it, try it out and if it does not meet my expections I'll send it back. I am not afraid to voice my displeasure.

I have that exact same nozzle, Doc! Like you said, it's well built and I'm pretty please with the pressure. I'd highly recommend this one.

+2 (or is it now 3?) on this one:



Ultimate Stainless Steel Hose Nozzle



One of the features I like about this nozzle vs the cheapo one from Wal-Mart is it will turn off in either direction. Doesn't make a whole lot of difference since I use quick disconnects with shut-offs, but it is a nice feature and we're supporting Autopia when we buy one.



I never could get past the $75 price tag on the Griot's nozzle. I'm sure it's a good one and others here (well at least two that I can recall) seem to like them. Of course, this is coming from a guy trying to get in on a group buy for a $54 Backing Plate :waxing:
 
I have done a search on this nozzle. Need to watch out because some are Aluminum. Amazon.com has the Al. one.

Looks good. The stainless vs Alum. is not a big deal either. Both would be ok.

The price is about average. I have a similar hose nozzle as this I bought at TSC (Tractor Supply Co.) for the same price but all stainless steel. It works great and very well built.
