Little Big Shot Fully Adjustable Super Hose Nozzle (LBSR-1)
Skip: the as-seen-on-TV jet whose shut-off is a rubber sleeve and three ball bearings — K-CO's little brass jet: twist the cone from a sweep to a pin-point stream to off. K-CO says it uses 40% less water than a classic pistol nozzle and guarantees it not to leak up to 60 psi. At Home Depot owners give it 3.9★ across 3,526, with 20% of ratings at one or two stars. Of the 16 critical reviews among the first 30 Home Depot shows, 14 describe a nozzle that will not shut off fully, leaks, or loses its ball bearings. Buy the Dramm 12380 instead: the same twist idea, with 3% of its ratings at one or two stars.

Pros
- Small, brass and cheap, and it throws a hard, narrow jet for gutters and drains
- K-CO guarantees it not to leak up to 60 psi
- One owner: "It’ll never replace a pressure washer, but this is much stronger than a garden hose."
Cons
- The shut-off fails: 14 of the 16 critical reviews among the first 30 Home Depot shows describe a nozzle that will not shut off fully, leaks, or loses its ball bearings, one "After a week"
- One owner explains why: "Weak point is a small piece of surgical tubing and 3 steel ball bearings."
- 20% of its 3,526 ratings sit at one or two stars, against 3% for the Dramm 12380 twist nozzle
- K-CO asks you to leave it full open after use and take it off the hose when not in use
- Its 40% less water is measured against a pistol nozzle, both full open; it is a claim about flow, not about pressure, and K-CO adds that force depends on your water pressure
- K-CO's packaging carries a California lead warning
A shut-off that will not hold. Owners describe a nozzle where "the water doesn’t completely shut off with a full turn", one where after a week the "bearings gone and it's locked in the off position", and others whose "ball beatings have fallen out" after a couple of seasons; one calls the valve "a small piece of surgical tubing and 3 steel ball bearings".
