Just to confirm...

Saw that nozzle at Sears today. It's IDENTICAL to the one I recieved.

Definately the same nozzle but with Craftsman imprinted in the rubber. Same packaging and all (with the exception that it says Craftsman).

$19.99 + Tax Title and License.

Good, now I know where to get em for all the other hoses I've got around the house! Thanks RP.

I received mine on Friday, just in time to wash the trucks, and I have to say that this is the best thing for washing the trucks, and for anything else you need a hose for! I honestly dont know how I've hosed this long without it!

These are not lude and lucivious comments and no pun is intended. Comment at your own risk.


Joe :o (tired)

You guys talked me into it. I went and bought the Sears nozzle and a valve. After looking at the nozzle and seeing a note that said "for best performance use 5/8" hose", I'm not going to use the valve, which has at best a 3/8" hole for the water. The nozzle works great for washing cars and seems very durable, but my wife does not like it for watering her flowers with it. The mist isn't fine enough, and it hard to set the nozzle up in a weak stream to fill her planters. I think it is cool that the nozzle can be shut by turning it either direction, and I don't have any trouble finding the sweet spot. It looks like we will have his and hers nozzles

Bought mine today too... from Sears. Kinda like a mini-firehose and I do like it better than my old handle type. Quick turn to find the sweet spot is great and flows much more water than other types too. Great addition to my hose and my truck cleaning too.

$40 is the retail price. I actually saw one on ebay go for $45 with $6 S&H about a month ago.

Guy got ripped off... definately a happy seller though.

Now I feel even more taken then I did before.

I saw what looked to be the same Nozzle at Target for $ 9.99 I think it was. Back in the Autosection.

It is the Del Sol or what ever the Target branded Auto Products is. I picked it up, and it felt to be the same heavy nozzle as the one I have, just black.

I've looked at that one... it's not the same. The ultimate is MUCH sturdier and feels much better in my opinion...

And yes... this thing is awesome Joe. I know it sounds stupid getting so excited about a nozzle but, the bottom line is that this thing is worth the extra $.

The ones at my Target were in plastic packages, so I did not get a chance to play with it, to see if the action was the same as my platium one ( it should be for what it cost me 6 years ago ).

Glad to hear that it is not the same, I get my clock cleaned when I order stuff on the bleeding edge of new-ness.

Got to have it now
