Claber9567 Metal-Jet Garden Hose Nozzle,Black, Orange, Chrome

Since I just got it I can’t speak of the durability of the nozzle. Only time will tell. What I can say is the force of the water out the nozzle is great. After searching high and low for about a month I think I have finally found what I’ve been looking for. It feels sturdy and well made and the water pressure is superb. This isn’t your run of the mill low flow water nozzle. I just hope it holds up and lasts awhile.

First, paying $30 for a nozzle is outrageous. It seems crazy. Remember, though, that you will get what you pay for. This isn't a $4.99 plastic knockoff found at your home improvement stores. This isn't a nozzle that will break if you drop it. This isn't a nozzle that will bond to your hose or melt in the heat.Attaching the nozzle to a hose was a breeze. The orange dial at the bottom of the nozzle spins so you insert the hose into the nozzle, spin the orange dial, and you're good to go.On the back of the nozzle is a metal dial to control water pressure. Turn it to the right and water pressure lowers. Turn it to the left, and you get full power. The metal piece at the front of the nozzle also turns to control arc/shape of the water spray.The trigger, by default, will stay depressed when you pull it. The little button on the trigger releases it.After connecting mine, I shot off some water bursts. The range was HUGE. Ballpark is about 40-45ft with max pressure. Plus, the nozzle feels great in my hand. It fits naturally, is easy to hold, and easy to control.First impressions: A $30 piece of awesomeness. Get one if you're tired of the cheapo nozzles. This thing is built to last.

Last Fall I thought I had found just what I was looking for - a high quality hose sprayer not made in China. Unfortunately, that was not true. During the first use this Spring the grey part shown in the photo shot out the rear. On inspection I could see it was cracked. Poor design and poor quality.

I have owned and used this nozzle continuously for about eight (8) months. The spraying performance of the nozzle is quite good. Water flow and the spray pattern can be varied over wide ranges. Flowrate and pattern can be adjusted somewhat independently from each other. At my home, the nozzle remains connected to the end of hose with household water pressure against it nearly 100 % of the time. However, a water leak developed within about four (4) months of use. There is a relatively complicated o-ring sealing system inside the quick-connect joint at the nozzle to hose connection. It appears the leak is either in this joint or within the handle. Recently, the quick-release button for the "hands-free" on feature has become ineffective. Thus, after the handle is squeezed to the detent point and released, water flow cannot be shutoff at the nozzle. It is unclear whether dirt and debris or slight mineral scale build-up inside the nozzle has caused either of the conditions. However, the nozzle has seen only what I would describe as normal use and not deliberate abuse.

We use this around the house and the best thing we like is that it doesn't leak and has a strong flow.

If you have 2 or more hoses, instead of buying a nozzle for each hose, consider attaching the female end of  Claber 8983 Garden Hose To Sprinkler/Spray Nozzle Quick Connect Set  to each hose which allows you to easily move the nozzle from one hose to another. The nozzle already comes with the male connector, so you will have leftover male connectors which you can attach to other lawn care bottles.The nozzle itself is built like a tank and has worked well for me over the past few months. It is very expensive though which is why the relatively cheap quick connectors are valuable.

Very good product. Very rugged, easy to adjust spray (though a little different from others)built in flow adjustment (separate from spray adjustment). Easy lock. Forget those home center throwaways. It used to be you could get a decent nozzle from Gilmour for example but the stuff they sell at the home centers is junk. I've gone through two of those a season for the last several years. I expect this one to last forever. This nozzle has a metal core and is solidly built. I also purchased a Claber Multi-Jet at the same time. It is more adjustable, but not as sturdy as this one. Both are very good.

I have a Claber self-winding garden hose. It is very easy to wind and unwind the hose and both myself and my wife like the appearance and convenience. I have ordered 2 other Claber nozzles before the metal jet. They did the job but neither one compares to this one. This nozzles really does it all, from a great hard jet spray to a very soft sprinkle. So happy with this nozzle - worth the extra $$.
