| What do you guys recommend as the best adjustable hose nozzle to buy? A good mister is esssential. I already have a Foggit nozzle but I want a decent mister on a multi-setting nozzle as well. |

| OK, this one has sat at the top long enough. I have always been partial to the old style brass ones that look like a mini firehouse end. You know the kind that unscrew from closed to mist and then narrow down to a tight stream. Thay last a good long time and do a little of everything. Of course, nothing works better for watering flowers than the good old wand with a breaker on the end to give a nice gentle soaking. Why did this one take so long to answer? Chime in folks. |

| because I've never seen a good adjustable hose nozzle. My personally, I use the 'redhead' water breaker which has 1000 holes... mass of water, little soil disturbance. To turn the water on/off I've used a variety of things, the lil thumb press valves wear out really fast and replacement gaskets are hard to find. A ball valve with a few male adapters glued on works well, but is hard to turn on/off. ohh, and I use a 16inch peice of metal tubing for most watering and a 3ft one for baskets. hope that helps. |

| I've had a couple of "pretty good" adjustable nozzles but the life span is poor. I need a mister setting, a good spray to settle seeds onto the surface of my perlite hydroponic beds and a nice powerful spray to clean dirt off the ground cloth. I'm surprised this doesn't seem to exist. drat! |
|
| i use the redhead for general watering, the foggit if mist is needed and a high pressure nozzle for cleaning. three seperate, but they are all good and will last |
|
| I'm not familiar with the redhead but will look into it. Right now I have rigged a two headed nozzle onto a "y" type of fitting, with a Foggit nozzle on one side and an adjustable one on the other. It beats switching on and off but is still not optimal. |
|
| it's just a 1000hole water breaker, bout $7 via your local nursery supplier... kinda nifty really, even under 70psi it feels soft as can be, tho the mass of water can often weight down a plant in a hurry. |
