Dramm 12342 400DC Nozzle, Metallic Aluminum, Twin

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Very gentle high volume spray that won't destroy your plants. I can spray emerging pumpkin seeds and it is such a soft stream that the plants remain rooted and without any damage. It is not a low volume of water so suggest you have a control valve at the end of the watering wand so you don't flood too much water and can better control flow volume. Even at low flow all the little holes distribute water. It is not cheap plastic. It should last a lifetime really.

I ordered this nozzle to replace a Dramm aluminum water nozzle I've used with our lake pump for fifty years, and I'm happy to report that this one is just as heavy duty and well made as the previous one. It's pricey, but worth the extra money. With the pressure from the lake pump any nozzle with ultra fine spray will cause the pump to shut off, so I was thrilled to find this product still available. The soft rain-like flow is easy on the flowers and placed on my original long extension wand gives an extra 24" reach. It would be nice if the end could be unscrewed to clean the holes, but since that's not possible, a filter can be placed over the washer for easy removal and cleaning. I highly recommend this quality nozzle.

I've been wanting a "rain water" nozzle for a long time, but kept putting it off and making my cheap adjustable hose nozzle work for now. I finally decided to get a metal rain nozzle so my kids could easily water with me without hurting the baby/delicate plants. I looked at the nozzles with handles, but I realized I didn't really need that- I just needed something to soften the blow of the water pouring from the hose. I was so impressed with this nozzle! It lets out quite a bit of water, but so gently. It feels very sturdy, and I am going to look forward to using this every day in my container garden. Don't delay if you've been wanting one of these. Get it!

I bought this to use on a regular hose bib to wash my hands and other things. It seems to be better made than others I have had on watering wands. Works perfect for my intended use.

Great stream for watering fragile plants, seedlings, etc.

I bought this because it seemed like the best option to build a two function hose spray head that can survive outdoors in the desert where most plastic and/or rubber objects quickly deteriorate and break. I am happy with the purchase but I do wish that... 1. The face was removable for cleaning (as this thing should last quite a long time, mineral deposits will eventually be a real problem) as it is now, when the head gets plugged up it is basically impossible to fix without buying another head. 2. The body should be thicker or made from stainless steel and not aluminum, I would happily pay an upcharge for the better material. I only removed 1 star for the first issue and not the second, because quite frankly the head will be stronger than most people need, and it was the sturdiest one I could find.

Love this soft head that puts out a ton of water, doesn't blast the plants

I have gone through about a dozen wands, which last a few months and then fall apart. This, because it is just the head, is vastly superior and lasts longer. If you need with a wand, better to "build" your own with this as a component.
