Premium quality hose gun (revisited)
There's not been a post like this apparently for a number of years, but it's the bain of our garden. Every year or less we have to replace our hose gun. We've had two Hozelocks, a Rolson, a CW and a Titan 'Screwfix'. They always spring leaks from somewhere and are not repairable.
Is there any way to buy something that will last MUCH longer? I don't mind paying quite a bit more money for one, if it lasts. We're meant to be wasting less yet the garbage quality of some consumer items is shocking and are priced low so people just buy another one. Something quality out there?

I replaced our hozelock spray gun with one from Gardena a couple of years ago. It's outside in all weathers, and so far, it's been fine.Blooo said:There's not been a post like this apparently for a number of years, but it's the bain of our garden.

Fitted perfectly onto the hozelock hose too, but if that died then I'd probably get a Gardena hose.
Edit - we have this one: https://www.gardena.com/uk/products/watering/nozzles-sprayers/comfort-cleaning-nozzle-multi-jet/967909001.html0 -
We go basic and use one of these for cleaning the chicken poo from their lino.At this time of year they're on shavings, so it's not tested in winter conditions, but there's not a lot to go wrong.For watering plants, I'm a die-hard finger over the end of the hose person!
