My wife prefers the multi-pattern hand held nozzles for hose end applications.
But, the usual suspects don't seem to last long before starting to leak at the discharge end.

Does anybody use a 'good' one that seems to last?

We've tried the Melnor, Nelson etc. with only middling luck.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Bob.

We have tried many and none seem to last long, not sure why. Even any normal nozzle to just spray water will last for a bit, regardless if it is plastic or metal.

For sprinkling/watering flowers and such we still use this gizmo, not sure if they even make such a thing these days.

Old reliable, no "sprinkle" setting but the mist spray should work fine.
