Ladies and gents I’m looking to bug a decent hose gun, standard hose lock type fitting.

Fed up of buying a gun dripping it 2/3 times and find it it has split. Don’t really care about 14000 spray patterns just something robust with a trigger.

They're all a bit lame for detailing TBH. Have you considered a pressure washer? Even a small, cheap compact one will be miles ahead in performance terms. Karcher K2s are just 70 gbp on Amazon (not a great machine but a cheap one!).

Got a pressure washer but some things are better with an open hose.

Don’t fancy chucking 120bar water direct into bearings and seals on the bike for example

I got one of these last summer and it seems pretty robust compared to the plastic one that fell apart.

Currently unavailable but you can probably find something similar.

This is what I have for the hose connection if pressure washer not needed.

Has a selection of spray/jet patterns. Robust and works well enough. HTH.

This is the one I had before the metal one. It broke and I replaced with the metal one I linked to above.
