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.

Clearly the double-action o-ring American-made ACE assault nozzle,


Yea, but you can arm more people cheaply. 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. ^_^

Thanks for the field test. I guess the chinky junky does make a (not good) difference.

I was surprised that the Harbor Freight Chinese nozzle, which effectively
*looked* essentially the same as the American model, actually performed far
worse at higher speeds - and about the same at the lower, less demanding, speeds.

a. They leaked when shut off (2 out of 7, versus 0 out of 3 for the American)
b. They had a less satisfying spray at full force (the American just felt good)
c. They only used a single o-ring (the American nozzle used two o-rings)
d. The knurling was only parallel (the American knurling was diamond shaped)
e. They had noticeably less heft (the American nozzle just felt good)

However, at low speeds (i.e., wide spray), which is what my wife uses them
mostly for, the nozzles were about the same.

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.

Tell me what you think a "cracker" is!

You use a word and I bet you have no clue what it is.

standing by for your reply

Take as many pages as you need.

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?
