I bought one, today. It has the "kewl" factor of being
big, and looking like fire department item. I tried it,
and two other nozzles on the same water faucet, using
the same hose.

The other two were a pistol grip nozzle from Dollar Tree,
and a zinc sweeper (straight stream) nozzle from Walmart.
All three deliver close to 5 GPM, and reach about 45 feet.
The sweeper has a tighter straight stream. The sweeper
reaches about two feet farther.

Both adjustable nozzles do a good job of spray or stream.
Overall, it was a fun experiment, but I won't buy another
one. Unless you work on construction site, or are a fire
buff, don't waste your money.

Is it brass and plastic? There is a difference in them, I think.

It's out in the work van, now. I think most of the
mechanism is brass. There is a heavy rubber coating
on most of it, and on the handle.

Looks like about the same size nozzle, on the front.
I wonder if it's the same nozzle, but different grip?

picked up one similar to that at a yard sale. It works well if the water
pressure is high, and not so well on my pump watering system. On higher
pressure, it puts out about 12 gallons/minute. It has no identifing markings
other than a "taiwan" on the side.

I purchased the twist to operate version when it first came out years
ago but I like the version you posted because there are times my
arthritic wrists don't like twisting things. I can't twirl my batons
anymore and the sequined little one piece doesn't fit anymore anyway. ^_^
