5-Year Mini Review - Hozelock Spray Gun Pro with 7 Spray Patterns - 2 Key Weak Points Revealed

Quick review of the Hozelock 7 function Multi Spray Pro spray gun.
Have it about 5 years, great product, but 2 key flaws.
1. The trigger, after a few years the red trigger would pop out, and the spring behind it, which would get lost in the garden - and VERY hard to find again!
2. The host connector - which after 5 years completely snapped off.
It’s not had a hard life, but I guess came to its natural end at around 5 years of use.
Still a recommend buy, enjoyed using it all that time.

Very useful video, many thanks. The only thing I don't agree is the build quality. I think it's very poor with weak little pivots and poor waterproofing inside. For what it is, it's very expensive.

the triggers go on these which need fixing when they stick as the spring is the issue. Also mine leaks terribly at the connection between the base insert and gun itself. I replaced the O rings and used PTFE tape it still leaks. crap really

Great feedback. I expected the unit to last longer, build quality over all good but a couple of these key flaws let down the unit.

Thanks for this - interesting to see that break. Mine has developed a leak within the handle, probably due to frost damage as I foolishly left it outside on the end of a hose under mains pressure 🤦 ...my fault entirely. However in my defence I don't think the temperature got very far below freezing for very long and I was therefore surprised to see this leaking. Your video though reveals why this unit is not as strong as I thought it was. I assumed that the internal 'pipework' was metal and not plastic, so it is not very robust. Having seen your video I am going to try repairing mine as I hate throwing things away but I cannot see how you are meant to open the unit up when the trigger retainer isn't broken.
Thanks again :)
PS. Managed to get in - you just have to push those orange plastic tags in that double up as the handle pivot (not easy). The break/leak has happened just under where the rubber o-ring is that the bottom steel Hozelock fitting screws onto so I've bedded it in silicone and injected some into the base of the handle to try and strengthen it. It is clearly a weakness in the design where the super robust steel fitting meets the plastic.

Thanks for the detailed reply, glad the video was useful to you and helped somewhat to solve your issue. I like the Hozelock products in general, great quality and brand, interesting to see the flaws! Hopefully useful feedback to Hozelock too if they’re watching! :)

Спасибо за видео. У меня такой же пистолет, только более старой модели, там немного другой поршень под нажимной рукояткой, но проблема в том, что на детали в котороую входит поршень, от воды образуется накипь, кальций и ржавчина, и пистолет начинает протекать под нажимной рукояткой. Также от времени лопнули резиновые уплотнители под желтым кольцом где распыляющие насадки, не знаете какого они диаметра и толщины, я хочу заказать новые. Также у моего пистолета не возможна поломка, которая произошла у Вас, так как эта чать с внутренней резьбой находится внутри прорезиненой ручки и ответная часть коннектора в нее вкручиваеися, а не как у Вас накручивается снаружи!
