Any reason you would use one over the other BigAl3?

i like using the brass one pictured because it has a more powerful fine spray stream and i use it to blast off the majority of the dirt/debris, etc., and use it while washing. then i use the fireman nozzle to flood/sheet the water off right before drying (turn it all the way to one side and you'll get a blooming type spray pattern). it's nice with the quick disconnects (i also use a shut-off valve), you can go from one to the other in a snap...

here they are both pictured about half way down... Sears.com



also... if you buy it from sears, they both come with a Lifetime Warranty... :up
 
Al, does the Sears fireman nozzle shut off in both directions? The cheap one I got from Wal-Mart years ago didn't, but the Bon-Aire fireman nozzle like the one Autopia sells does. Even using quick disconnects with a shut-off valve I like having that feature. If the Sears offers that it's a very good buy plus it's available locally.

i believe it only shuts off in one direction (use to have one a long time ago and lost it somewhere in the garage :( )...
 
The nozzle is not what makes the stream powerful.



Discharge pressure from the source, hose diameter and friction loss will determine GPM's (among other variables)



THIS is and example of a fireman's nozzle....

175 GPM with selectable fog and solid stream will clean a vehicle very well.



Firemen have cool foam systems that also make good presoaks...

Gilmour makes good consumer household nozzles for garden hoses.
