Don't be tempted or you'll regret it.
10 of 10 found this helpful It all started so well for the Kingfisher, I read an independent review of the best 10 sprayers and it won as the best for non-professional everyday home gardening use. Good price too at around £8. I had noticed a few negative comments but when you want to buy something these are easy to overlook - besides how can a simple sprayer not work?
I now fully understand how a sprayer just does not work. There is a pressure relief valve aperture, a connection for the spraying hose and of course the main opening to put the liquid in - ALL 3 leak air! This means that as soon as the handle was pumped to pressurise the sprayer the air just came out with a loud hiss, I used water for testing purposes and was lucky to get a drip. I started with the pressure relief valve as the most likely source of leakage, what a poor cheap and nasty "design". There is a spring, not unlike that found in a biro, this is meant to push a plastic stopper into the opening to prevent air escaping, I took the spring out and stretched it, more and more, a bit more. By now it was not so easy to get it back into the valve - BOING! Spring gone, fired like a bullet from a gun, I didn't find it until the next day. So back to testing, hissssss, the liquid hose opening was leaking, a bit of PTFE and a lot of force to "over" tighten it (not easy as it is very close to the main opening which restricts grip) now only the sound of a few snakes hissing and a small spray of water! The main opening was leaking, this just needed a lot more (too much) tightening which means it's hard to undo when you've finished spraying / dripping. So anyway after this palaver I put some weed killer into it and it was ok for the job. This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a review of anything but this device is just so poor that I felt it my duty to beg people to buy something else - anything else! Effort without reward.

Almost perfect but...
Read reviews of expanding hoses bursting after a short time so I was a little wary, I paid bit more in the hope of better quality. What a great decision! The hose is very sturdy yet still light and manageable, it recoils as soon as the water is turned off and almost puts itself away!
So why not perfect? The brass connections are very well made, heavy and secure - but it wouldn't fit on my outside tap. The external diameter (24mm I think) is the same as my old plastic connection but the internal diameter is only 20mm, seemingly due to the thickness of the connector wall. I bought a replacement brass connector for £1 locally, this is ok but of lower quality than the original but as a result it fitted my tap. All's well that ends well.
