Ratings & Reviews for Gilmour 8.0 -Pattern Front Trigger Wand

Nice design and quality

Really a nice way to water your annuals. Feels strong in your hands with all metal connectors. After 2 weeks I am really happy with purchase. Only change I would suggest involves easy thumb action for flow. That is to slow stream down when pulling backwards and increase when pushing forward. Other than that (not that big of a deal either) I love it.

Nozzle Mini Wand

This wand is the perfect size. The slide off/on feature is easily worked with just your thumb if needed. Your water stream can go from a light sprinkling to a heavy steady shower flow.

leaks

Don't buy it!

Nice Sprayer

This sprayer is easy to hold, to turn off and on, and to switch streams. Nice product.

Decent so far

These things fail pretty regularly, but this design has less failure points than most sprayers. The wand shape is nice also. We'll see if I can get more than 2 years out of it.

Worst wand ever

I bought this for my house on the front of the house and it leaks so much. My house is new so its not the hose. I had to put a ton of plumbers tape on it to keep it from dripping down my arm.

great for the aged

my 85 year old father loves the ease of use with the nozzle. even those with arthritis can turn on this nozzle!

Leaks

Hooked on to a hose, turned the lever to full and it started spraying out from the top of the assembly. I'm returning this.

Head leaks

Had purchased one previously and it works fine. Then I purchased another, and within 2 weeks of the purchase, the head started leaking badly around the base.....so much so that the mini-wand soaks the user. This renders it practically unusable.

Only used one time

I used this water wand once, the following day I used the wand in the back yard and it leaks I will take this back!

Nozzle leaks

I loved these when I first got them. I have two hoses in the back to clean up the yard as I have 4 pitties. So I need a STRONG stream of water to clean off the artificial grass (dogs can't dig and pool stays clean :-). The one nozzle worked great but the other one had a little leak when used. I could tolerate that as the nozzle had the best stream I'd used in a long time. But after time that little leak was drenching me and then the other started to leak. My husband replaced them with a lesser n...

Worked for almost 2 years...

The red plastic ring that holds the nozzle against the handle cracked and now it leaks terribly. I haven't found a replacement part and it's probably easier to just buy another one. The plastic screw-on ring is very thin plastic, otherwise it seems to be good quality.

Disappointed in Design

I really like all the features offered, especially the handle that allows for volume flow, but the way I have to hold it puts pressure on my wrist, and so I probably will look for a different design but with the same type of features.

Mini In Name Only

I bought this online for a replacement wand. Taking a look at it, never figured it would surpass the old one. Surprise! It has more water pressure than any I have used before. Easier to handle for my old hands too. The flip On/Off also lets you adjust the amount of water, ALL in one place! I am getting another one for my front hose.
