The main body of the gun is made of metal but the soft grip handle will cushion the palm of your hand whilst the long, contoured trigger provides a comfortable resting space for fingers. There is good tension on the trigger which can be locked into place (so there is no need to apply constant pressure) whilst watering is in progress. The dial at back of the gun can be turned for managing the flow of water.

KG VERDICT
This is a versatile option info you want to combine spray gun and sprinkler. The dial to change spray patterns clicks into place very well indeed and the head of the gun can be moved into different positions, depending on whether you want to use it handheld or as a sprinkler. The trigger is shaped to give finger places and there is an inbuilt lock for continuous watering. The action of the trigger itself be a little slicker and the lock release is a little noisy. There is a dial at the back of the gun to manage the rate of waterflow.
