Gilmour makes a pretty good product. Lots to choose from too. You can probably find then at that hardware store on the south side of 6A between Brewster and Orleans. : )

Here is a link that might be useful: Gilmour Nozzles

Find a ma & pop hardware store. Ask for an "all brass" model.

anvilhead , You are correct. Most nozzles will not make it one season. Not only that they only flow about 2 ounces an hour.

Many many years ago I got a Dramm 55 nozzle.

The thumb activated trigger works great and allows all the water to flow. Then I have plastic rain and jet nozzles that attach to the threaded end depending on what I want to do. My biggest problem is finding it every year (sigh).

One modification I made to it was to replace the flat washer with a #15 O-ring (take the nozzle to any Ace Hardware and they can fix you up).

One of the things that tears up flat washers (and O-rings) is a cheap male hose end. I have almost completely gone to plastic for the male ends of my hoses. They are always in good condition unless you screw them into sandy fixtures. Here's a picture

Note the flat end that will butt up against the flat washer nicely. Stamped brass ends on cheap hoses are sharp and will always chew into the washers. If something damages the end of the plastic fitting, you can dress it up with a flat file very quickly.

Dramm makes some nice nozzles. A PL1000 is great!

The worst think about Dramm products is finding a local vendor. You are almost required to buy online. Here is a new one from them...I believe the cost is $25

65 Touch'N Flow PROTM Valve

Here is a list of other popular Dramm products (if you can find them). I like the pictures but not the prices. You can find rain nozzles at various places for a lot less than $30. But the valve itself is much more important to having a fun experience in the garden. If you don't mind buying new ones every year, or you don't mind getting soaked when you use them, then buy cheap ones. But I can just about promise that not getting wet is a lot more fun. And having a good, flat, male hose end along with an O-ring washer will solve most of your leakage issues.

While looking for the picture of the Dramm thumb valve I showed above, I saw a price of $13. I paid $18 several years ago for mine plus $0.55 for the O-ring. They were worth every penny.

I think the gloue magic hose will fit your demand!

Since this 7-year old post resurfaced with an off-topic troll by Athur John, let me comment on the expanding "magic" hoses on his link. Expanding hoses suck water pressure away from your application. It takes pressure to expand the hose initially, and then the ribbed shape increases the resistance to water flow. Furthermore you never know how big the hose will get. If you need a 50-ft hose to reach the middle of your yard, you can't simply pull the hose out to the middle of the yard. You have to turn on the hose with the attachment and enough back pressure to expand the hose. IMO they're a terrible product.

Thanks dchall, good to know, been wondering if I should get one of those.

Since we are off topic. I will say that my personal favorite hose is the Zero-G hoses. Lightweight yet solid.
