Brass garden hose nozzles and brass on/off switches (and missing o-rings)
But, can the cheap Chinese nozzles put water
on target? Doesn't do any good if their streams are breaking up at 20 yards, and the Ace nozzles can spray to 30 yards. .. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. ..

If you have 1,000 folks armed with the high quality assault nozzles going up against 100,000,000 people armed with cheap low quality assault nozzles, it's no contest. The Germans learned this hard lesson in tank battles during WWII. ^_^ TDD |

All in all - I don't recommend the Harbor Freight nozzles. BTW, how often do you guys generally replace your nozzle o-rings anyway? |

I'll admit, I can't remember ever replacing an
O'Ring on my garden hose nozzle. I did mention in passing that a dose of silicone plumbers grease on the O'Ring and the threads may help the nozzles last longer. Havn't done that either. I'm not a power user like yourself. .. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. ..

Well, that's good for a smile. Yes. I guess, if I'm
watering the plants gently, I'm a misty Christy? And, if I'm a distance from home, I'm the far flung Young? .. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. ..
