'Best' Watering Wand

Posted by growitnow (My Page) on

Hi,
I used a watering wand for years by Gilmour that I bought at local Ace hardware, but last season or so they stopped carrying/making the version I liked (Gilmour telescoping 'gentle shower' #311TSC)

Watering wands are a piece of gardening equipment that once you find a 'good' one you stick with it. I'm looking for suggestions.

For me, desirable means SIMPLE (not 58 different possible spray patterns, or hard to manipulate flow),LIGHTWEIGHT if possible, and TELESCOPING.

I haven't tried currently available Gilmour wand versions so maybe someone has feedback on specific models.

Thanks,
growitnow

I'd like to know opinions on this as well! Seems like I am buying a new one every year because a seal or what not has cracked....then I end of getting more water on me and less where it's needed :O

I've seen a few being sold in my "Garden Supply" catalog, but haven't made up my mind just yet. I'm game for what others are saying!

I'm not a fan of many different spray patterns either. I always use the same one! I had a cheap one bought at Big lots that I loved. Not telescoping, though. Screen broke out of the head after long use, and I have been looking ever since. The one I have now telescopes, but all that means is that one section of the tubing spins when I don't want it to.

I'll be interested in replies you receive on this.
