HOZELOCK - Multi-Jet Spray Gun Ultramax Pro Metal : For Intensive Watering, Ergonomic and Extremely Robust (Metal Body), Locking Function and Flow Control: 7 Spray Patterns [2698 0000]

I bought this spray gun from Amazon and found that water was leaking from the trigger whilst spraying my plants so I asked for a replacement which duly arrived the next day. This new one works perfectly. There's a variety of sprays to choose from and I've tried them all. The 'jet spray' isn't as strong as the one on my older (and cheaper) Hozelock gun, but this isn't a criticism because it still does the job. All in all it's a very good product.

I have used Hozelock watering items now for 40 years and they have never let me down. From hoses, hose connectors to lawn sprinklers, tap connectors and hose reels they have been the mainstay of my watering needs in the garden. My problem now is that my grip is really poor so I needed a watering spray gun that is not only easy to use but also robust, as I do tend to drop things these days.. not good I know, as some things, like plates, tend to break when you drop them. The first thing I noticed was how well made this item is, heavy but not too heavy and importantly the connection to the hose connector is actually metal and not plastic, important as these guns tend to get 'twisted about' in use and that attachment point MUST be strong. otherwise you could get soaked if it fractures or leaks. I love the fact that it actually has seven spray patterns, so something for every need really, and all by just twisting the head to the appropriate spray, which is clearly illustrated on the yellow part of the head. Other features I like are the flow adjustment ('red bit' at the back top) which you twist to regulate the flow for around 50% to 100%, and also the fact you can lock the trigger, once again a BIG advantage for me with my poor grip, it takes all the strain out of having to hold the trigger in all the time. I have accidentally dropped it 3 times now, once onto concrete and twice on the grass, and there is no sign that it has been dropped, so that's a relief, it passed the drop test. I have always advocated if you buy the best you can afford, you will be rewarded in the long run, as hopefully this spray gun will last me many, many years and I will not have to replace it, like you have to with cheaper made/plastic spray guns - like my neighbours use. Well so far, since I purchased this 2 months ago, I can find no fault with it and can happily recommend it to anyone in the market for a quality spray gun !

A great buy and cheaper than other outlets. I like Hozelock, good quality hose products and attachments. They last a long time and rarely let you down. This is quite heavy duty, made from metal, so sturdier than plastic ones with lots of spray patterns for a multitude of tasks. It has a flow reduction system to prevent water waste. My only criticism is that there isn't a pure straight water jet, there are similar patterns but a straight jet would be useful.

Superior product at an exceptional price

The moment you pick this up you know it's quality. It's big and heavy. I went for this somewhat older design because Hozelock seem to be having issues with the newer design on some of their guns that have a chrome ring around the base of the handle. So I paid a little more than I would have liked, but this certainly does seem very strong and a good quality gun. I have no intention of leaving it full of water and outside in the winter so I have no idea whether it can tolerate being frozen. The various sprays are great and the trigger works well. I noticed that the trigger seems to allow air through the gun which is nice ~ when you turn the hose on the air drains out first then once the hissing stops it's full charged with water and ready for action!! The flow on some settings is better if you use it without a water-stop connector. Personally I only ever use one gun so that's not a problem for me, I am not changing accessories all the time so I really don't need a water-stop. Expensive but excellent quality. I would certainly recommend it.

I bought this spray gun on the back of its good reviews. However many are misleading with respect to the jet function, which is low powered, this is not to do with your house water pressure, as many reviewers insist, its the spray gun its self. I know this because the original basic hozelock nozzle gives a jet stream of water which is atleast twice as powerful as the jet setting on this gun, which is what I had to use when I was trying to clean and remove dirt from my artificial grass, as this gun wasn't powerful enough, same house, same water pressure, different performance. The other metal Hozelock Multi Plus Spray Gun, which I bought this gun to replace does give a powerful jet stream, but didnt survive the its first winter, where I left it outside, when it was snowing, and afterwards water kept running from the handle. The pros are that this gun does allow you to adjust the water flow/pressure, which other spray guns dont allow, however as said before the most powerful water pressure is around half as powerful as the basic jet nozzle, and it seems to spray the water around in this mode too much, not a focused jet steam as with other nozzles/guns. The other functions seem to work fine, though I haven't used them for any specific task as yet, which would allow me to spot any deficiencies. I bought this as I hope it is more robust come winter time than the other spray gun, and that it also has a tap function, which is useful for filling buckets, and cleaning muddy shoes etc, when you don't want a lot of spray coming out. I one starred this, as I will have to buy another spray gun with a better jet steam, as this gun does not do the job.

Excellent sturdy spray gun. Has a good weight about it, feels like it will last with regular usage.

I have had a Hozelock Metal Watering Lance for over 2 years now and I love it. It has a multi spray head like this product and I have used it a lot since I got it. The reason that I decided to get this Ultramax is because the lance is pretty long and it makes close up work much more difficult as I have to hold my arm back whilst working up close as the trigger is at the bottom of the lance. The vast majority of the jobs I use it for are close up so in the end I decided to get this attachment. The Ultramax Gun is predominantly made of metal, it has a flow control 50 to 100%, a lockable trigger and 7 different spray patterns. It is basically an 'all in one' spray gun. Please see the video for an in depth look at the spray patterns and how it all works. The gun has a lovely heavy, quality feel to it and each time a different spray pattern is selected it clicks positively into place. There is just the right amount of resistance on the nozzle head when it is being turned. The flow control has a smooth action with just the right amount of resistance too. It is a very well made and professional feeling tool. Any gardener will find this spray gun very handy and as someone who who is not into gardening I can say that most other people would find it very handy too. You can basically pick it up for any job that you need to do without hunting around for the right hose attachment. I think that this Multi Spray Gun is brilliant and it will now be permanently attached to my garden hose awaiting the next task. If you are thinking about getting one of these spray guns, I do not think you will be disappointed. Yes it is more money, but for that you are getting a well made tool that is very versatile and can be left outside ready to use whenever it is needed. Brilliant!

Be sure to purchase the attachment nozzle. This quick connect set-up is NOT the same as the standard US quick connect. I had to modify a short piece if hose so I could integrate it into my system.

Way better than the cheaper plastic version. Very pleased. Will buy again.
