All metal has its pros and cons.
Nicely made and sturdy with a good finish. The operation has been smooth, and its design with the valve directly in the middle should be a more durable design than a spray nozzle that relies on a pull piston.<br /><br />The brass tip screws in and out to adjust the spray pattern, from a gentle mist to a sharp stream. No flat or rectangular spray patterns; just the basics. The extra hose washers are a nice bonus. I did not use the quick connect, as I don't have a standard female connector; it unscrews easily.<br /><br />But I currently can't use it for one major reason -- the weather. It's been around 100 degrees in recent weeks, and with the hot water comes a very hot metal spray nozzle -- so hot that I feel like I'll burn my hands, even though this has been left in the shade. That goes with any all metal nozzle, though, so I'm not docking my rating; it's just something to consider when choosing a spray nozzle. 5 stars (except right now in the summer).
Rating: 5 stars
