Bought this last week and I'm thrilled with it. I'm probably going to buy the range...they're brass...not plastic!

ETA half the price of Hozeleak and even cheaper than I paid!

I can't say we're disappointed with our Hozelock. 3 or 4 different settings. All OK.

I bought a new one this year from 'sco for just under £8. Three separate hose connectors - one a water stop and the spray gun which has 7 different settings. It conveniently fits Hozelock fittings too.

Like @Ladybird4, I use a cheapo one from Asda. I've used expensive ones in the past and they aren't any better than the supermarket ones

I have had a few over the years and am currently using a plastic hozelock that is good and lasting well. I like how you can easily adjust the pressure (handy when watering seedlings),

I tried a posh metal hozelock one but it was heavy and all the coating chipped off quickly so was not worth it. I also have used the cheap Aldi/Lidl ones but found they only lasted a season before something broke.

I’m with @Fairygirl Been using Asda for years. We also use their expanding hose. So much lighter and easier to use than the hard plastic ones. The hoses don’t last forever, but the price is so reasonable that we just replace them.

I had a metal one and it burst during winter, so you have to remove them before they freeze. The plastic ones can do that too, so it's worth remembering to take them off, or protect them.
It goes without saying that the bit that fits the tap is the same and needs protecting too, whether brass or plastic.

I used to buy a cheap one every couple of years but in Oct 2016 (according to Amazon) I bought this one -

I can't see the spray patterns on the gun nozzle any more as they've worn away but it's still working very well. I use it for for the end of the garden. It's left outside every winter and hasn't suffered any damage.

I also have one of these that I use much less frequently I do put it indoors over winter as the one I bought last year cracked after frost

PS - one bonus with the 1st one - it has a setting for a really fine high-pressure mist - works a treat for shifting greenfly etc!

I use cheap ones from B&M, Poundstretcher and the like. Sooner or later they go wrong even if put away indoors, even the pricey ones, so I buy cheap and replace when needed. I think it's the hard water here that eventually bungs up something in the spray pattern thingy, and a new cheap one is probably the same sort of price as descaler and comes from the same sort of shops. I suppose I could try vinegar but even that's not cheap any more.

Hozelock for me as well. Had mine for years and left out all year round. Great different settings and the grand child loves it as a great water pistol as it has a great firing range.

Which hose spray gun do you use?
