Multi Spray Ultramax

I have used Hozelock watering items now for 40 years and they have never let me down. From hoses, hose connectors to lawn sprinklers, tap connectors and hose reels they have been the mainstay of my watering needs in the garden. My problem now is that my grip is really poor so I needed a watering spray gun that is not only easy to use but also robust, as I do tend to drop things these days.. not good I know, as some things, like plates, tend to break when you drop them. The first thing I noticed was how well made this item is, heavy but not too heavy and importantly the connection to the hose connector is actually metal and not plastic, important as these guns tend to get 'twisted about' in use and that attachment point MUST be strong. otherwise you could get soaked if it fractures or leaks. I love the fact that it actually has seven spray patterns, so something for every need really, and all by just twisting the head to the appropriate spray, which is clearly illustrated on the yellow part of the head. Other features I like are the flow adjustment ('red bit' at the back top) which you twist to regulate the flow for around 50% to 100%, and also the fact you can lock the trigger, once again a BIG advantage for me with my poor grip, it takes all the strain out of having to hold the trigger in all the time. I have accidentally dropped it 3 times now, once onto concrete and twice on the grass, and there is no sign that it has been dropped, so that's a relief, it passed the drop test. I have always advocated if you buy the best you can afford, you will be rewarded in the long run, as hopefully this spray gun will last me many, many years and I will not have to replace it, like you have to with cheaper made/plastic spray guns - like my neighbours use. Well so far, since I purchased this 2 months ago, I can find no fault with it and can happily recommend it to anyone in the market for a quality spray gun !

Excellent sturdy spray gun. Has a good weight about it, feels like it will last with regular usage.

A great buy and cheaper than other outlets. I like Hozelock, good quality hose products and attachments. They last a long time and rarely let you down. This is quite heavy duty, made from metal, so sturdier than plastic ones with lots of spray patterns for a multitude of tasks. It has a flow reduction system to prevent water waste. My only criticism is that there isn't a pure straight water jet, there are similar patterns but a straight jet would be useful.

I have had a Hozelock Metal Watering Lance for over 2 years now and I love it. It has a multi spray head like this product and I have used it a lot since I got it. The reason that I decided to get this Ultramax is because the lance is pretty long and it makes close up work much more difficult as I have to hold my arm back whilst working up close as the trigger is at the bottom of the lance. The vast majority of the jobs I use it for are close up so in the end I decided to get this attachment. The Ultramax Gun is predominantly made of metal, it has a flow control 50 to 100%, a lockable trigger and 7 different spray patterns. It is basically an 'all in one' spray gun. Please see the video for an in depth look at the spray patterns and how it all works. The gun has a lovely heavy, quality feel to it and each time a different spray pattern is selected it clicks positively into place. There is just the right amount of resistance on the nozzle head when it is being turned. The flow control has a smooth action with just the right amount of resistance too. It is a very well made and professional feeling tool. Any gardener will find this spray gun very handy and as someone who who is not into gardening I can say that most other people would find it very handy too. You can basically pick it up for any job that you need to do without hunting around for the right hose attachment. I think that this Multi Spray Gun is brilliant and it will now be permanently attached to my garden hose awaiting the next task. If you are thinking about getting one of these spray guns, I do not think you will be disappointed. Yes it is more money, but for that you are getting a well made tool that is very versatile and can be left outside ready to use whenever it is needed. Brilliant!

The moment you pick this up you know it's quality. It's big and heavy. I went for this somewhat older design because Hozelock seem to be having issues with the newer design on some of their guns that have a chrome ring around the base of the handle. So I paid a little more than I would have liked, but this certainly does seem very strong and a good quality gun. I have no intention of leaving it full of water and outside in the winter so I have no idea whether it can tolerate being frozen. The various sprays are great and the trigger works well. I noticed that the trigger seems to allow air through the gun which is nice ~ when you turn the hose on the air drains out first then once the hissing stops it's full charged with water and ready for action!! The flow on some settings is better if you use it without a water-stop connector. Personally I only ever use one gun so that's not a problem for me, I am not changing accessories all the time so I really don't need a water-stop. Expensive but excellent quality. I would certainly recommend it.

Have had it for over a year now without any issues. Is quite robust, and has weathered well, despite leaving it out in the garden in all conditions. Is very comfortable to hold, and locks on & off quite easily. No leaks so far. This is however the only watering gun I've used, so I can't compare this to others, but this was quite pricey at £40. You might have similar results with a lower priced item as well.

Very prompt delivery excellent spray gun and good value.

Great solid product for garden thanks

Be sure to purchase the attachment nozzle. This quick connect set-up is NOT the same as the standard US quick connect. I had to modify a short piece if hose so I could integrate it into my system.

Way better than the cheaper plastic version. Very pleased. Will buy again.

Amazing spray, excellent quality

Gute Spritze, kein Vergleich zu Gardena. Das Geld auf jeden Fall Wert

Excellente fabrication du costaud
