They typically offer multiple spray patterns, from a fine mist to a powerful jet.
Easy to use and commonly used for garden watering, washing cars, and outdoor cleaning.
2.Dial or Multi-Pattern Nozzles:
Feature a dial on the nozzle head that can switch between various spray patterns, such as mist, shower, jet, and cone.
These nozzles are highly versatile and allow users to select the right spray pattern for different tasks.
3.Fan Nozzles:
Spray water in a wide, fan-like pattern.
Ideal for gentle watering over large, flat areas or for delicate plants.
Less water pressure than other nozzle types, making them good for flower beds and newly seeded lawns.
4.Fireman’s Nozzle:
Offers powerful water pressure, similar to nozzles used in firefighting.
Great for high-pressure cleaning tasks like washing sidewalks, driveways, and vehicles.
Adjustable for fine misting to heavy flow, making it versatile for other applications.
5.Soaker Nozzles:

Ideal for watering the base of plants or flower beds without disturbing the soil.
Useful in drip irrigation or for delicate areas that need consistent moisture without high pressure.
Types of Wands:
1.Standard Garden Wands:

2.Telescoping or Adjustable Wands:
Have an extendable shaft that can lengthen or shorten to reach farther areas.
Often used for overhead plants or distant spots in the garden.
3.Rain or Shower Wands:
Mimic a gentle rain shower, offering wide, gentle coverage to prevent soil disturbance.
Often feature soft rubber or plastic heads for a gentle flow, ideal for sensitive plants.
4.Pivoting Head Wands:
