In our last post, we found a really decent hose for our gutter cleaning project.  As lame as this sounds (and really, how can it be any more lame than a review of a freakin’ garden hose?), having the right nozzle on your garden hose can really speed along most projects.

So here we are: reduced to reviewing a spray nozzle for a garden hose.  Quite possibly the best example of “too much internets.”  But I digress…

Much like the garden hose, you want something that will be durable, multi-functional and easy to use.  The Toro 8 Pattern Front Trigger Garden Hose Spray Nozzle fits the bill.  Weighing in at under $20, the Toro spray nozzle is slightly more expensive than you’d expect to pay for something like this, but trust me, it’s well worth it.  With its durable aluminum body, it will most certainly outlast the $10 and under plastic, cheaper spray nozzles.

The 8 patterns (full spray, shower, angled, jet, cone, soaker, mist and flat) are all you’ll need for most garden applications.  For the gutter cleaning, we’ll stick to the full spray for maximum water pressure.

So, there you have it — two totally insignificant non-tools that you’ll need to clean your gutters.  Please allow me to redeem myself with two awesome ladder reviews — you know, something a bit more, uh, “manly.”
