In this buying guide, I’ll guide you on how to choose the best garden hose spray gun and recommend the top five spray guns you can order online in the UK this year.<\/p>\n
Features to Consider When Choosing a Garden Hose Spray Gun<\/h2>\nA. Comfortable Handle<\/h3>\n
A comfortable and easy to grip handle reduces strain on your hand, especially when you are using the spray gun for an extended period.<\/p>\n
The best hose spray guns have a soft grip handle with curved slots on the inside where you rest your fingers. This not only makes the spray gun easier to hold, it also ensures your hand doesn\u2019t slip when it gets wet.<\/p>\n
B. Spray Patterns<\/h3>\n
Get a hose spray gun with at least 5 spray patterns including mist, jet, shower and flat. Multiple spray patterns allow you to use the spray gun safely for different applications.<\/p>\n
A powerful jet is ideal for getting dirt and muck off the steps, a shower or cone pattern waters flowers and veggies without damaging them and a mist is ideal for watering extra-delicate seedlings.<\/p>\n
Some spray guns have up to 8 spray patterns for added versatility. Budget spray guns can have as few as 3 patterns.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget to check how easy it is to change the spray pattern. You should be able to adjust it on the fly without having to pause your watering or cleaning.<\/p>\n
C. Lockable Trigger<\/h3>\n
Most pressure washers have a trigger that you have to keep pressed to release water. That\u2019s for safety reasons.<\/p>\n
Hose spray guns spray water at a much lower pressure that\u2019s harmless. So most include a trigger lock that lets you keep the trigger in the open position without holding it down.<\/p>\n
This makes using the spray gun less tiring, especially when you have to water a large lawn or wash your car.<\/p>\n
D. Hose Connector<\/h3>\n
A spray gun attaches to the end of a garden hose using a connector. Most hose spray guns don\u2019t come with a connector.<\/p>\n
If your garden hose already has a connector, you probably don\u2019t need to buy one. If it doesn\u2019t have it, you can get one for cheap at a local store or online. Just make sure it is compatible with the size of your hose and the spray gun.<\/p>\n
Best Garden Hose Spray Guns: Top 5 Reviews<\/h2>\n1. Draper 25342 7 Pattern Aluminium Spray Gun<\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51UrsPGr-IL.jpg\")
<\/a>\nThe aluminium construction of the Draper spray gun makes it hardy and lightweight.<\/p>\n
The soft and contoured handle fits comfortably in your hand. For added comfort when watering a large lawn or garden, you can lock the trigger in an open position to take the strain off your hand.<\/p>\n
The spray head includes settings for seven different spray patterns to cater to different watering and cleaning needs.<\/p>\n
How far you spray with the Draper spray gun depends on your water pressure. With adequate pressure, a water jet can reach 10-15m.<\/p>\n
The Draper spray gun doesn\u2019t come with a connector, but it works with all standard hose connectors including Hozelock\u00a0connectors.<\/p>\n
What I like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- Lightweight.<\/li>\n
- Soft anti-slip handle.<\/li>\n
- 7 spray patterns.<\/li>\n
- Lockable trigger<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON -><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n2. Hozelock Multi Plus Spray Gun<\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41R731DcdLL.jpg\")
<\/a>\nThe Hozelock Multi Plus spray gun also has a metal construction to ensure it lasts long. The metal is powder-coated to prevent rusting.<\/p>\n
With eight spray patterns, the Hozelock spray gun is more versatile than most other brands. Pattern options include the usual ones like mist, jet and flat and some unique ones like cone and fine rose.<\/p>\n
Whether you are washing your car, watering your lawn or watering seedlings, there\u2019s a perfect flow pattern for each job. Patterns are marked on the spray head so you know exactly where to set it.<\/p>\n
You can also vary water flow using the trigger. This gives you better control, especially when watering delicate plants. Just squeeze the trigger harder to increase water flow.<\/p>\n
The trigger is lockable. You can lock it at 100% flow or 40%.<\/p>\n
Several customers say the trigger sometimes gets stuck. This is likely because of debris stuck underneath the trigger. Rinsing the spray gun after every use will keep the trigger working.<\/p>\n
Limescale build up from hard water can also jam the trigger. If you live in a hard water area, dip the spray gun in a limescale remover solution. That should un-stick the trigger.<\/p>\n
What I like about it:<\/h4>\n\n- Soft grip handle.<\/li>\n
- Variable flow trigger.<\/li>\n
- Two-stage trigger lock.<\/li>\n
- 8 spray patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON -><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

The settings are labeled clearly on the spray head. You simply turn the head to switch to another pattern. Grooves around the spray head make it easy to adjust it with wet hands.<\/p>\n
The main body of the Spear & Jackson BWF26 is metal. The handle is covered by soft rubber that provides a comfortable grip. It also has notches for your fingers to keep your hand from slipping.<\/p>\n
A durable brass connector attaches to standard hose fittings, including those from Hozelock.<\/p>\n
The plastic trigger is easy to operate and you can lock it in an open position to avoid straining your hand.<\/p>\n
