I need a new spray gun for the hose - one that will do multiple functions
like mist, jet, shower, fan etc.

I have had Hozelock ones but the build quality of the last couple was crap
and the pistol trigger thing fell apart.

I tried an all metal generic one but that wasn't much good.

The best I have had is an old Homebase one, but that is now leaking from
the body and AFAICR when I looked for a replacement the build quality had
gone right down.

So can anyone recommend a good quality robust pistol grip multi-function
spray head for the hose pipe?

I see that Hozelock do a 'deluxe' one with metal parts but the trigger is
still plastic and that is what failed on my old one.

TIA

Lidl are doing one this Thursday at a better price than Hozelock.

So I will give that a go.

The spray head from Lidl is pretty good - brass connector, interesting
sliding/rotating on/off control and plenty of spray patterns.

It is very easy to vary the water pressure which is nice for misting
seedlings and stuff.

So far very please, we shall see how long it lasts.
