Default Brass garden hose nozzles and brass on/off switches (and missing o-rings)

Most people use trigger nozzles now.(water restrictions)


The wife used those trigger-style nozzles and hated them.
Her main problem, she said, was they are difficult to set at
a certain stream, and then just leave it there (she often
walks away from the hose as it slowly waters plants).

So, we threw away all our trigger ones (even those very
expensive sets from Costco which had quick connects - which
turned out, for us, to be a waste of money).


This is the best garden hose nozzle ever made:

I have that or one like it. Trouble is, it wants to go full on. I still
prefer brass nozzle.
I like where I can open it up and it forms big drips, very low stream power
for watering plants.
