How to choose a hose spray gun
A good spray gun makes watering, washing the car and cleaning the patio quicker. These are the features that matter.
Spray patterns
Most guns offer several settings from mist to jet.
Gentle settings
Mist and shower patterns suit seedlings and hanging baskets.
Why it matters
A soft spray avoids washing soil out of pots.
Tip
Test the pattern on a path before aiming at plants.
Strong settings
Jet and flat patterns help when cleaning cars, tools and paving.
Care
Keep a jet away from delicate paint and windows that are not sealed.
Tip
Start further away and move closer as needed.
Materials and fittings
Metal bodies and brass nozzles last longer, plastic is lighter.
Quick connectors
A quick connector lets you swap between a gun, a sprinkler and a wand.
Check
Make sure the connector matches your hose size.
Tip
Wrap the thread with PTFE tape if a connection drips.
