AUTOMAN Brass Hose Nozzle - High Pressure Jet Nozzle 4 Count (2 Set), Heavy Duty Water Hose Sprayer Sweeper with Hose Shutoff Valve, 3/4” GHT Nozzles for Garden Hose, Car Wash, Extra 10 Rubber Washers

3rd time customer here. I'm the caretaker in a high desert location and move get very heavy use and abuse. They hold up for a couple years, that I know of. Somewhere between 1 & 3 years, they either get lost in the winter/spring shuffle, and/or they grow legs and walk away.I highly suggest not buying these. They will ruin you. You will get used to them and like them very much and if, one day, they too grow legs or you Magoo them, you won't know peace again until you've gotten replacements. I used to be okay with a dollar store one. Now I'm a ball valve/jet nozzle snob. You been warned.Seriously, though: the valves are great to keep a hose charged and not have to walk all the way back to the spigot to close and open the water supply. And the jet nozzles, out of the box, are fine dandy. I've taken a round needle file to a couple of these to achieve a more solid stream. Even if the not-so-solid stream ones were due to internal burr or defect, its so easy to file and change from spray to stream, that I bet a seven year old chilld could.But , to me, the fact that I'm back a third time to buy these particular ones that are the best deal to date should speak the loudest.The other day I was cranking on the lever too hard on one. And now it spins 360° instead of 90ish°, and I like it even better.I am 4-5 blocks away from the water tower. Who wants to have a water fight? Hehehe.... >:)

This all-metal bad boy doesn’t just squirt—it performs. With seven steamy spray patterns, the AUTOMAN nozzle knows just how to tease or please, whether you’re gently misting your tender stems or giving your dirty car the full-pressure love it deserves. It’s solid, heavy, and always ready to get wet. Let’s just say, watering the lawn has never felt so… satisfying.

These are shorter than the last set I got but the longer ones I had 2 set up on different portions of the driveway and after tossing them down a few times on either the black top or concrete they bend ever so slightly and once they are closed under pressure it's near impossible to open back up without using tools. These are about an inch shorter than those so I'm hoping they will last longer. I'm aware amazon has rubber coated as well as thick plastic twist styles as well but they are more expensive for something that will most likely be abused anyway. Still better that cheap plastic sprayers

I've been using these AUTOMAN brass hose nozzles for a solid 17 months now (since around December 2023), and they are holding up exactly as expected. The material appears to be genuine brass. After this extended period of outdoor use, they have naturally developed some patina (a bit of 'copper rust'), which is normal for brass and confirms their solid metal construction.Most importantly, I've experienced no leaks or functional issues whatsoever. The key difference compared to the plastic pistol-grip type nozzles is clear: because these are solid brass with no internal plastic parts, they feel incredibly durable and seem like they will last practically forever without breaking. Simple, effective, and built tough.

Decades of gardening - this is the best nozzle I've ever used. May have to buy another one

Nice & heavy. Much better than the cheap plastic. Well worth the money

I accidentally stepped on the nozzle and the plastic spray pattern selector ring snapped right off. It still works fine and you can still select the different patterns, but you can no longer tell which pattern is selected. Unfortunate that an item touted as heavy-duty and is quite durable in every other way has this one cheap part (although it seems like most competing nozzles use a plastic selector, too, so maybe it's just something the industry hasn't figured out yet - still disappointing either way)
