Best garden spray guns and nozzles

This Draper product is our first garden spray gun review, and we are off to a flying start. 
Available for around ten pounds, yet offering a good selection of spray patterns, and also being more durable than your average plastic models in the same price range, this Draper garden spray gun is a great deal.
 There are seven spray patterns to choose from, and the difference between the fine mist at one end of the spectrum, and the powerful jet at the other, with everything in between, offers you everything setting you need for your everyday gardening.

To increase the spray gun’s working life, Draper have given it an aluminium body instead of plastic as aluminium doesn’t rust like steel or get damaged easily like plastic can. The other metal fittings such as the hose connector are made from brass, again improving longevity and durability as well as enhancing the overall look of the spray gun. The ribbed rubber grip combined with a smooth trigger action and a total weight of only 180 grams, makes this a very nice tool to use.

• Strong, rust resistant and lightweight aluminium body
• At around 10 pounds it is excellent value for money
• 7 different spray patterns all work well
• Powerful jet feature has surprising range
• Brass fittings for extra longevity
• Weighs only 18 grams
• Comfortable ribbed rubber grip and smooth trigger action

The first thing you notice about this garden spray gun from Crenova is its sleek, modern look. With its zinc alloy body and metallic trigger, brass head and fittings, and black TRP rubberized grip, Crenova have created an awesome looking and long lasting spray gun. It not only looks great but also works far better than I expected it to and actively increases the input water pressure to more than double that when it leaves the nozzle of the gun.

The brass ¾ inch hose connector and rubber hose washer do a very good job of keeping things leak free during operation but should any leaking occur within the first year, Crenova will replace it for you. The spray can be adjusted by twisting the hose nozzle head and can even be completely switched off by the same action. Getting and keeping a grip on the trigger is nice and easy thanks to its size and the fact it is placed in front of the grip rather than on the back of the gun. There is also the option of locking the trigger in the ‘on’ position with a built in clip clock.

• Modern and stylish metallic design
• Brass head and fittings improve durability and look great
• High pressure spray gun. Doubles input pressure
• Adjustable spray
• Leak free thanks to quality fittings
• Comfortable grip and large trigger
• Lockable trigger for easy spraying

Above the trigger is the adjuster for controlling the water flow/pressure. Used in conjunction with the 9 spray settings, you have a very wide selection to choose from.

This product from well-known brand Hozelock is a number one bestselling product on Amazon. Unlike our previous reviews, this garden spray gun is made of plastic, which has its pros and cons. On the upside, being plastic means that it is cheaper than zinc-alloy or aluminium models and also lighter, however plastic is prone to cracking should you accidentally drop it, and tends not to be as durable as metal. The plastic used for this gun is high quality though and does feel sturdy.

There are 5 spray patterns to choose from, together with adjustable water flow. The water flow can be locked at 40 percent and 100 percent to prevent you wasting water, which is a good thing in these environmentally conscious times. Water waste can also be reduced thanks to the comfortable, pressure sensitive trigger giving you excellent control of the output.

• Low price of just 7 pounds
• Lightweight yet sturdy plastic construction
• 5 spray patterns to choose from
• Adjustable and lockable water flow to save water
• Pressure sensitive trigger gives you excellent control
• Quick connect male connector can be used with Hozelock system

The FANHAO garden spray gun costs 16.87 on Amazon at the moment and offers good value for money for its build quality and striking looks. 
The shiny gun body is made from zinc-alloy and the makers have chosen not to cover the handle in a rubber grip so the fully metallic style really stands out. The brass and copper fittings only add to this modern look.
Being a completely metal construction, it is hard wearing and good quality. There were no signs of leaking from where the spray gun connected to the hose thanks to the copper fitting and the same can be said about the gun’s nozzle.

The nozzle can be twisted to adjust the water spray from mist to jet with various settings in between. Unfortunately, the trigger isn’t pressure sensitive and only works as an on or off function, but it is lockable and made out of metal and so will last a lot longer than a plastic trigger, just be sure to wear gloves in winter as metal has a way of getting cold. This garden spray gun is very compact and measures 14 x 11.5 x 3.5 cm.

• Very good build quality for a decent price
• Lovely metallic look and modern styling
• High quality brass and copper fittings prevent leaks
• Adjustable nozzle for different sprays
• Lockable metal trigger
• Compact spray gun

The problem with plastic nozzles is that they are susceptible to cracking and warping due to weather and temperature changes. Spear & Jackson have decided to negate this by constructing this particular garden spray nozzle out of brass.

This nozzle can be connected to a hozelock system onto the hose pipe easily enough and is also easy to use. 
A simple twist of the nozzle adjusts the stream of the water and there are no leaks, even when changing the spray pattern.

• Rust resistant and not affected by frost band temperature changes
• Low price but high quality
• Strong and durable material. Lasts longer than plastic models
• No leaks even when changing stream pattern
• Adjustable water stream by twisting the nozzle
• Can be connected to a hozelock system
