Gilmour Polymer Water Jet Nozzle 06WJ Teal,Multi

Works fine to fill water balloons, which is what I wanted it for. Quality is good and it's inexpensive so five stars. Most people want this for its "jet" and it's fine for that too. For filling water balloons though, I prefer the Nelson Brass Sweeper Nozzle 50161 on the end of a Gilmour 572TFR Commercial Insulated Grip Nozzle with Threaded Front, Red. The lip on the Nelson nozzle helps hold the balloon and the spring loaded handle on the nozzle makes it easier to control the water flow. The second system is a tad more convenient, but at more than twice the cost.

Jet stream is great, and the lack of adjustability is a plus for me. I use this for an anchor washdown hose and the stronger the jet the better. The shutoff valve is a bit difficult to work, but it does its job well.

Works great and inexpensive. I use it at work all the time, slips into a pocket and ready to use. Good spray pattern and the valve holds back our 120psi water pressure.

I needed a water nozzle without a external valve (as pictured). Nozzle has a large external valve.

I have used similar jet heads for years, and concluded that this particular model is the best all around. The on-off valve works smoothly, the jet spray is perfect for everything from a piercing clean jet to a gentle spray for watering plants. It works better than brass models that cost much more.

Works well for a simple nozzle. Water shuts off without dripping and valve opens and closes easily. Produces a solid continuous stream and pressure depends entirely on the pressure of the house, no cheating physics here. Works as described.

Perfect for water balloons. The cheap plastic nozzle that the water balloons came in broke in 30 mins. This is heavy duty plastic and has a valve right at the nozzle. The size is right and you can control the pressure from the valve. Would buy again

The plus: The smooth operating lever creates a linear increase in water flow and a complete shut off. It's also reliable: I had left it on my hose and forgot to shut off the water supply --- for two months. When I came outside, there wasn't as much as a single drip from the nozzle and when I pushed the lever to the open position, it delivered a steady, powerful stream. Now, the negative. I was looking for a nozzle that would [hopefully] create a small stream that by hydrodynamics would create a stronger/longer flow of water than a conventional nozzle. Sigh, it was just about the same as my regular multi-pattern nozzle. In other words, I don't need this nozzle, even though it is very well built.

I bought (2 of) these, primarily to wash out the drain holes in the doors/tailgate and rockers on my truck (it's 12 years old and surprisingly rust free and I want to keep it that way) and this nozzle is just what I was looking for. It's compact (fits in tight spots), it's of quality plastic (doesn't scratch and should last), the valve is especially handy (don't have to run back to the tap to turn it off and don't have to kink the hose to keep from getting a shower myself) and the jet/stream is small and powerful enough to wash out every bit of crud my truck will ever accumulate. And so for not even a couple bucks I have the perfect tool for the job.

The one amazon sent is actually better than the one in the picture (as of 7/12/2018), as it features a ball valve switch on the side, so you can stop the flow at the nozzle rather than running back to the wall faucet. Amazing value for the price.

Works great and super powerful stream

Cheap and cheerful. Works as expected.

Came with a on/off valve that wasn’t shown
