was lowering this anyways just because at driving height it’s hideous lol it’ll only be a 2.5 drop and totally reversible just by swapping the links so no risks or issues only gains lol
So which out of all.of the ones you were showing today do.ypu prefer. The Eley or the.other 2? Are They similar in pressure, or is one better than the other? I'm looking for a spray gun for my garden house for car washing.
What nozzle would you recommend for watering grass? I just seeded a big new lawn and need something that can cover some distance. Thanks! Great content.
they have a specific nozzle called the garden hose watering nozzle and different plate to control the flow it’s incredibly versatile and worth every penny! I have a video not long ago showing the spray patterns on it
Dramm also makes the best live swivel its way better than brands like sanilav and some of those. The dramm swivel internal ID is basically full flow and all the other ones out there restrict your flow down below a half inch. I’ll also tell you that those 1/2” quick connects you are using kill your flow as well. I have 3 very accurate and expensive digital flow meters and even though I like to have quick connects I don’t run the half-inch ones on any garden hoses because it kills your flow by several gallons per minute so it’s a trade-off. I buy and test and tinker with all of the same stuff. I think I have at least 30 maybe 40 different style and sizes and everything you can imagine of quick connect and plugs and couplers. I have them in aluminum, stainless brass, and am working on my own That’s gonna be made out of titanium. The best highest flowing hose nozzle thats an adjustable pattern trigger and they just flow the best are the original pull handle gilmore nozzles that are that silver painted steel and cost like $5. They don’t look cool and they don’t last very long but when they’re going good nothing else sprays like em. I buy a 20 pack off amazon every spring but I also use them everywhere I go and then I also use them at the shop and up north and then I use them with my business and a commercial application so I’m hard on them. There is one I found that is basically identical to the squeeze trigger classic Gilmore and it’s called the Ingersol. Its a nice black color and it has a stainless steel set of internals and a Viton O ring. It seems to spray just about as good and I’ve been using it for about two months and so far so good.
I like your shut off valve, can you please tell me who’s is it and where did you get it, can you add it in your description with the nozzles….great video, regards, Tony
just checked the website it says temporarily out of stock and they are “expecting” it to be back around August 9th so hopefully that’s true lol for sure worth the wait !!
I wouldn't think this nozzle is a great idea for plants since the pressure coming out of this seems like it could be very harsh even if you throttled back on the lever a bit. The watering attachment would like be the most safe option
Does the Gilmore have spray patterns similar to the ELEY? Which provides the most pressure? I would like your opinion because I need a high quality nozzel
I just got the Eley delievered today. I needed to get a couple things so finally bought it just to get free shipping. It's crazy how heavy and big it is.... I'm almost like this is too big to be comfortable if that makes sense.. I'm not used to the weight at all compared to all the other heads I've used to wash the cars with. I am going to use it this weekend but it's kinda insane how heavy this is. I almost feel like this is going to be too fatiguing when using it.
The weight is definitely more but I've used it a LOT so far and never really felt an issue. I think the weight helps with controlling the more powerful stream but also shows you the quality of the materials used so longevity of this product is going to be far greater.
@@HonestlyOCD That's excellent to know then I can't wait to use this It's been raining thus far so I haven't been able to wash our cars. It was so funny taking it out of the box I was like damn this thing has some heft to it. All the other ones I've ever used have been moderate to lightweight like your typical hose spout weight so this was a shocker lol. I need to pick up their quick disconnects as they look like they're super high flow compared to everything that I have. The only downfall to those things is they take a proprietary type size o-ring it's not your standard of the mill quick disconnect o-rings that I have tons of.
on amazon I ordered the "HQMPC Super Heavy Duty 3/4" Brass Shut Off Valve" and I've never had any issues with it :) I also recommend the Dramm 22373 Aluminum if you don't have any clearance issues that the lever might touch
Great video. What shutoff valve are you using on the end of your hose. I started with these plastic ones that are all end of life and like the look of the metal one you have. Cheers
I’ve gone through a few and I can recommend two (both on Amazon) if you search for the “Dramm 22373 Aluminum” that would be the one in the video but I also like the “HQMPC Super Heavy Duty 3/4” because it puts the lever a little higher just in case you have any clearance issues with the hose behind the valve
Install a water pressure meter between the hose and the spray. It will tel you which spray has the highest pressure, gallon/m, etc. Its like an apple watch to a hand.
@honestlyOCD This idea would make for a good video actually. Best car washing garden hose nozzle shootout with GPM and PSI numbers, I don’t think there’s a vid like that currently and you already own all the nozzles, might do good RU-vid numbers
That would make sense if I didn’t have about 50 different hose attachments that I have tried over the last decade and not a single one have touched this
The power/effectiveness is a combo of your PSI, GPM, nozzle shapes and the nozzles own internal flow and friction rates. To say it is only 1 of those is disingenuous at best and obviously not said with any knowledge or expertise in the slightest. He is using his same PSI, GPM and I expect the same hose and fittings to form his opinion. Therefore if he says it’s best, it is. There is no arguing that point. He has done what is referred to as a controlled test which is the best evaluation. All this just to say you are badly incorrect. You just want to be negative. A.K.A. Trolling
I was going to buy this nozzle till I watched your incredibly boring video you kept repeating yourself and could have made your point in less than half the time
People that are capable of thinking long term and like to save money, call this buy ONCE, cry once. I have spent way more than that in my life on nozzles. If I’d have started with this, I’d still be using it. If you rarely use a nozzle then buy the cheap stuff. It makes sense too. It’s also ok to just admit you can’t afford it.
