Little Big Shot Super Nozzle

I have had one of these nozzles for over a year and just ordered four more. They are what they are in that they cannot make a fan shape or create greaterpressure than what they receive from the garden house. For anyone buying this unique little nozzle, you need to understand how it works. As a retired engineer I think it is simplicity itself. The nozzle is made up of four elements, a silicon rubber nozzle, the brass main body, the control nut, and three stainlesssteel ball bearings. There is no rubber washer as your garden house seas directly to the silicon nozzle. When the control nut is rotated the three ball bearings move such that the silicon nozzle is squeezed tighter and tighter reducing the inside diameter. The effect is somewhat like you pinching a gardenhouse to lessen or shut off the flow. Some reviewers have stated that the nozzle leaks and does not shut off entirely. The main cause leaking between hoseand nozzle is usually a cheap hose with poor quality stamped fittings. Always buy hoses with Solid brass fittings both ends. Since you use no rubber washer, the connection is from brass fitting to silicon rubber which typically makes an excellent seal. It is true that it takes a fair amount of torque to completely shut off the nozzle. With normal pressure you may still have a very very almost invisible stream which has not caused me any concern. I neveruse a garden hose nozzle to shut off the water except for a few minutes. When you live in Missouri where it can get very hot in the full sun doing so can often destroy a perfectly good hose. ALWAYS turn your hose off at the hydrant if you are done. These nozzles are rugged enough to drive over in youryard and according to the K-CO website are built here in USA by disabled veterans and as a Vietnam vet myself that makes buying this nozzle even better.

Our water pressure isn't very good so needed the best solution to mitigate the problem. Boy did I find it in this simple little nozzle. I'm not sure how well the rubber diaphragm will hold up over time but I'm very happy with how well it functions.

What I like best is that it is MADE IN AMERICA. It is sturdy and easy to assemble on to the hose. Several different settings for water pressure. Easy to adjust. However, it wasn't the high pressure I had hoped it would be. I wanted to use it as a pressure washer but this was not possible. This may be because I have a well system and not city water. However, I would still recommend it to anyone. Should last for a lifetime!

Try this nozzle before you use chemicals or call a plumber to clear a stubborn grease clog! Maybe not the most conventional use for this little gem, but it has now saved me $250 in plumber's fees. I'm not particular about what I put down my kitchen sink so every 3 years or so, I get a nasty clog. My neighbor introduced me to the Little Big Shot when I asked if he had an auger I could borrow. This high pressure nozzle has now twice cleared clogs in less than 10 minutes including dragging my hose around and removing the cleanout cap. It is holding up great, probably because I don't use it for anything else and it lives in a revered spot in a kitchen drawer. Who cares that it's made in China when it works this well and pays for itself 15 times over in 10 minutes? Worth every penny for me.

This is a well made little nozzle, but not what it's hyped up to be; not even close. The nozzle works by compressing a piece of rubber and closing down the outlet to produce a more focused stream. It does work, but does not produce a 'jet stream' as some have reported. My water line produces 65psi and this nozzle generated a moderately stream of water that broke up over a distance. Some folks have reported being able to shoot a stream of water 40-50 ft. - well, I couldn't get even half of that. And if you're trying to shoot upward to clean windows and the like you'll be disappointed. Contrast the Little Big Shot with the Dramm 12424 One Touch Shower and Stream. In my opinion, the Dramm is a 5-star device. It's only slightly more expensive and much easier to use - no twisting of the nozzle, you select the stream you want and turn the water on an off instantly by flicking a switch. The Dramm really will shoot a stream 40+ ft. and it's a highly focused stream that does not fan out over distance. So the Little Big Shot is a nice product that just doesn't live up to the hype. You have better options at roughly the same price!

Mini pressure washer

I live in Southern California and I have a in-ground swimming pool in the back yard. I also have a neighbor whose property is a virtual forest of huge, old, California live oak trees. They are beautiful to look at, but they shed tons of leaves, seed pods, dirt, dust, bugs, etc., every day, and it all seems to end up floating on the surface in my pool. I got this hose nozzle to help with sweeping all of that crud into the skimmer, so it's easier to collect it and get rid of it. The nozzle works great, exactly as I had hoped for, and much better than other hose nozzles I've tried. It shoots a stream of water twice as far, easily reaching everywhere with a stream that I can adjust to best motivate the floating debris toward the skimmer.

Smooth and easy to adjust with the same hand that is holding it.When placed on the concentrated spray, it generates as much pressure as most electric pressure sprayers.I was able to use it to remove moss from concrete blocks easily that were note effected by other sprayers. Last summer when I tried to remove our winter moss build up using a borrowed electric pressure sprayer, it took my hours to do, had to have the tip inches from the moss and I ended up with a sore back from having to bend over so much.The Little Big Shot allowed me to do the same amount of work in far less time and without a sore back.I used this in conjunction with a Rumford Gardener Expanding Hose that I had purchased at the same time.Because of how well this sprayer worked, I just ordered 2 more, 1 for me and 1 for a family member who will love it.
