Ratings & Reviews for Yardsmith Thumb control Trigger Nozzle

STUCK NOZZLE SOLUTION

Hard water causes nozzle to berd hard to remove. A really stuck nozzle was freed by soaking in veggie oil and then stiff whack with a sledge hammer (do not hit hose coupler). Trouble still woth it. I will be removing nib and replacing it on regular basis.

broken

valve broke. would not buy ever again.

Takes a Licking and Keeps on Keeping on

I buy a couple every couple of years (I like having two of everything) for rinsing off and washing pool cartridges, pump pot baskets, skimmer baskets, Hammer-Head Bags, and nets. When properly taken care of, it beats all the other nozzles I have used in my 15 years as a CPO, maintaining 60 pools a week. O-Rings don't last forever; calcium is a naturally occurring element in water. For a DIY home tool @ $4.00, it has done right by me in a very high pressure, demanding professional job.

Cheaply made.

The design of this this little gadget is brilliantly simple. But the materials used to manufacture it are poor and simply do are inferior to its purpose and use. The annoying hold up of work at home is greater then the couple bucks paid for it. I would pay twice as much if more serious material, (like brass) was used.

Lasted A Season. Then Broke.

Worked well. Great pressure. But lasted just over a year. Now unusable. It's basically a disposable nozzle.

Great little nozzle

I was told about this and said no...it couldn't be that good. Purchased 1 for a little over $3 and was wowed. Had to go back and get another one. Awesome!

Love mine

Have had this for a couple of years and I love it. Use as a pressure washer on my porches, siding and cleaned my driveway , great job aid.

This is the best garden hose attachment that works absolutely amazing when I needed to clean out the leaves and debris from under the lip of my roof. I didn't want to chance standing on my carport or climb on my roof risking damage to my carport or falling. The pressure that comes out of this made completing my job fast! The sales associate recommended a wand. I already had one and it did nothing compared to this. You can turn the pressure down as I did when I got the debris closer to my gutter ...

Easy Nozzel

The only recommendation is to use Vaseline on the threads of the nozzle and faucet outlet outdoors. The hard water makes it difficult to undo/twist off the nozzle from the faucet otherwise. As for me I really like it and it's least expensive to buy.

Great but not so Great

I love these little garden hose nozzles. I have 3 garden hoses on the exterior of my home and each one has one of these nozzles. The pressure is great, and for the price, it works amazing. They have been on the hoses for maybe close to a year now, and the other day I went to remove it, so i can connect my hose to my electric pressure washer, and there is NO WAY to remove it. It is so tightly stuck on that i have tried multiple tools and with different family and friends, wd40, etc. NOTHING! I ev...

Broke on first use

As others have said, it looks great and works great until it breaks, which in my case was on the first use. I didn't drop it, just turning it on and off repeatedly with my thumb was enough to break it within a half hour. The handle is screwed to a little white plastic ball with a hole through it. You can see it when you look in the hose end. Turn the handle and it turns the ball to control the water flow. The problem is, the ball has a plastic nub that sticks up and the screw goes through it. It...

great for the price and lasts

I had one and ran over it with my lawnmower tire and had it for over 5 years .I love that the water comes out strong to clean off my ride on mower and to water plants at a distance and also use it to clean my koi pond filters .Great for cleaning gutters with the force of it .I bought 5 of them this time so I could have one for all 3 hoses and extras to put aside in case I make the big mistake again .They sell out fast and seems when they are gone they are gone

Perfect little nozzle

If you're looking for a small compact nozzle that'll give you a strong jet stream from the hose, this is for you. It's size is perfect and very easy to rotate the metal piece to open the flow of water. Plus there's no handle to get caught in the grass or break on concrete.

This nozzle will destroy the male end of your hose

Great idea and design but this nozzle became so corroded after 6 months that it was impossible to remove it from the hose, even using heavy duty vice, pipe wrench's , etc. I ended up having to cut the nozzle off my brand new $70 hose. This happened to both my new hoses, each having this nozzle attached. I would have left the nozzles on, but the jet stream was not as straight as when the nozzles were new, which is another problem caused by the corrosion inside the nozzle. If you decide to buy it,...

Nice strong stream smooth on or off

Works great, easy to turn on or off and will shoot a really powerful stream, great for cleaning off decks, driveways, outdoor grills or just blasting away heavy grime on just about anything. Be careful, it does give a powerful blast so do not use it on windows and other breakables up close!

Nozzle Review

Nozzle is a great devise for squirting water. Nothing fancy - just a high pressure squirter. Easy to turn on and off. Strong stream. Did not leak. Works on a ball and socket valve made from plastic. Shiny metal parts are really plastic with good coat of polished chrome paint. Cheap product that lasts less than a season, but when it does work it is a good nozzle. This is my fourth nozzle, so it must be pretty good once you get past the issues with quality. Low price and low quality, but it works ...
