Bon-Aire Original Ultimate Hose Nozzle (Aluminum).jpeg

As an avid gardener I do a lot of hand watering. Nozzles, as a whole, are awful. The levers are hard to hold down, they leak terribly, that don't last long, and the spray patterns are useless.

Then I got a Bon-Aire nozzle (I didn't buy it, the company sent it to me.) I was like, oh sure, another nozzle. Rather use my thumb, thank you.

I'm pretty sure the first time I used it I was hooked, and I've had it for 3 years. It's fashioned like a fire hose nozzle, and that's the beauty. Easy to hold, spray patterns are perfect, turns on and off in either direction, and works smooth as glass.

Love it.

I have nothing to do with the company, just think this nozzle is outstanding all around. Full disclosure: I'm a staff home & garden writer at the Orange County Register.
