mercy for my hand muscles

been using regularly (daily since summer) a brass wand roommate found at a ross dress for less. that one had a metal valve dial to open and close the water stream to the nozzle. this was fine for awhile but after a lot of flexing of my index and middle fingers to spray paint a bunch of furniture, twisting the dial on and off as i moved thruout the yard became truly taxing on my battered nerve endings and digit muscles. i was so excited to get this new wand i couldn’t even wait until the weekend to go install it on my new hose. it’s fantastic! while i would have preferred more of a full spectrum of water release thru the handle, i am ok with the click setting - it’s extremely sensitive toward shut off so you never have to worry about overwatering. the fixture is good though i added a brass connector to increase the distance between the handle cushion and the joining hose since my hose has a shut off valve that was too close to the mouth leading to the dial being jammed shut by the cushion. the ratcheting head gives you lots of control over your spray and the wand length is just right. even though it seems really durable and sturdy, it is lightweight, so hoping for less wrist strain raising wand to water. time will tell whether it’s crafted to endure weather, water pressure stress and regular handling, but i’m hoping it holds up because i’m really happy with this wand so far!
