Rubber Black Coating

I bought this for my mother because none of the sprayers at the big-box home stores lasted very long. It's very nice and ergonomic and my mother loves it. After about 2 years the threads on the nozzle end split causing a bad leak. When I contacted ESOW to ask about the warranty period they just went ahead and offered my a replacement or refund. Our hoses are drained for the winter, and the crack occurred on the unpressurized side anyway, so it was probably just a fluke. It was difficult to track it down to the threads. At first it seemed to be an issue with the gasket, and I printed a variety of replacement gaskets out of TPU, but eventually I spotted the crack. Anyway, ESOW were polite and to the point, and replaced the sprayer without a hassle. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

This hose nozzle is well made and constructed out of brass. It has a bit of weight to it. When it shuts off the water flow stops completely with no dribble. It is comfortable to hold and the triggermoves easily. One of the best features is that you get a nice strong stream of water with no fanning when you have the twist nozzle set to straight stream. It also has a nice fan when you set it to a wider setting. Looks like the brass and stainless steel construction will hold up and not rust. Overall very pleased with this purchase and will probably buy another one for the backyard hose

I've only used it a few times so far. Seems to be good. Only comment I would make at this time is that I wish the JET had a more powerful delivery.

Though I've only had it a few days, thus far, I'm completely satisfied. Over the course of the last 20 years I've gone through at least 20 hose nozzles. Some have lasted over a year, several only a matter of months. The heft, sturdiness and simplicity of this one gives me confidence it will prove durable. However, I have three comments which I hope, if you're contemplating purchasing this, will be helpful. First, the description mentions "4 spray settings". That is somewhat misleading. There are actually no "spray settings". The spray pattern is a continuum from 'full stream' to 'shower' and is adjusted not by clicking into an "indexed" setting but by screwing the nozzle in, or out, to adjust to your desired spray pattern. Second; my Esow nozzle did not include any type of "quick connect" hardware (not an issue for me). Thus, I assume that part is no longer included. Finally, as to the nozzle's female threads; I had no trouble screwing it on either of my two hoses and it screws on normally, fits tightly and is leak free on each hose. So, having read in several reviews the threads are "non-standard', those reviews are either incorrect or the issue has been resolved.

This was working great for 2 months until the weather heated up. After sitting outdoors in the heat, something inside may have melted, keeping any water from coming out. So it is now a fancy dead stick.

Haven't used it yet, but packaged well, seems to be well built and the ability to flex the head 180 degrees (as opposed to my other Garden Hose Wand is the reason I purchased this ESOW Garden Hose Wand

Product looked great and worked great out of the box, but after a few months, the valve would not fully release when you shut it off, and when you turned the hose bib on the next time, it would blast out water before you even depressed the nozzle lever. Then after 9 months, it started leaking from underneath the rubber cover near the top of the handle. We put up with this until the stream became too annoying to use the nozzle. We couldn't water our plants or wash the car without also watering ourselves! I finally cut the rubber cover off and found that the thin metal body of this sprayer was cracked. I was surprised at how thin and cheap the metal casting was, just like the $2.99 lowest grade nozzles you see at the hardware store. Everything you can see online looks great, but the main component, the casted body, is cheap cheap cheap. My last nozzle lasted fifteen years because it was labeled "industrial" grade, and it was. I spent more on this one because it looked like it was sturdy enough, but in the end it completely failed in less than a year. Don't waste your money on this one.

So Ive had this sprayer for around 1-2 years and it works great. My only complaint is the thumb control on the sprayer. It is not screwed on and with time, it cracks and comes off so now I cannot operate the sprayer. If they sent extras or made it a screwed on piece then this could be a 5 star product.
