Can anyone recommend a hose end sprayer that's worth a crap?

10 years ago

I have a "Chameleon" that I bout at HD for like $15. It's just junk. I cannot spray more than two or three feet on the "shower setting" and maybe 6 or 8 feet on the stream setting (which doesn't cover the leaves well.)

I'm tired of getting out a ladder to spray copper on a ten foot tall tree. A regular hose nozzle sprays sooo much better, So I'm pretty sure I have sufficient water pressure. I even got rid of my long hose for a 50' one, and also eliminated any potentiwlly constricting components and it doesn't spray any better than it did with my 150' hose.

Please advise! Thanks!

I bought a watering wand from eBay that works great for me. Orbit 36" 9 Pattern Water Spray Wand, Lawn, Plant & Garden Watering.
Enter 'watering wand' in the eBay search category and a number of different types will appear.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm looking for a hose end sprayer that meters and doses out a certain concentration of chemical as you spray the water. It would make it SO much easier to spray trees.... If I could spray high enough!

On my el cheapo sprayer (Gilmour 6 gal.), you can remove the deflector and get a really high stream. I didn't notice you could do that until I'd had it for many years. I use it that way to spray micronutrients on my giant honeybell tree, which is easily 25+ feet tall and wide.
