Questions & Answers

How do you get the trigger lock to work?

Answer This Question

Karren, you'll just need to squeeze the trigger and push the yellow piece upward. It may seem as though you'll break it, but you won't. If you have any further questions, please e-mail us at mcustomer@melnor.com. Thanks.

      I am having the same problem, it will not come back far enough to lock. Also the handle cracked at the pivot pin after only two weeks. I tried to glue it but it didn't work.

            Hi Angela. All of our products are designed for standard North American threading. If the Copper head Pocket Hose has standard NA threaded hose ends it will work with the hose.

                    This nozzle is great. It is lightweight, easy to use, and is rust free. The handle fits my hands perfectly and is comfortable to hold. I like the multi spray settings, as I can change them fast and easy, and not have to put my hose down. This feature is especially helpful when I am cleaning my boat or watering various plants around my lawn.

                    Broke after 4 months light use
                    I got this last April. I seldom use it, just every weekend to wash our battery lawn mower. We don’t use it to water our lawn. The trigger broke and we’re disappointed, Home Depot returns are 90 days. Now getting a better one

                    We’re very sorry to hear about your experience—that’s certainly not what we expect from our products. We understand your disappointment, especially after such limited use. Please reach out to our Customer Service team at mcustomer@melnor.com so they can review this and assist with a resolution.
                      This works well. Very sturdy and feels good quality to hold. No water leak at the connection. Comes with a washer to connect to the hose. I like it :) Also the different spray settings are very good and useful. I like that it has a feature to click on the water in “on” mode with the yellow thing at the back too. Good product.

                      This pruning saw is very well made, it is easy to use and effective for pruning our trees with minimal effort. The blade is very sharp and the locking feature is appreciated for safety reasons. We recommend this quality tool and look forward to using it for years to come.

                          Trigger broke after two uses, rendering it useless
                          I used this twice. I hadn’t even cut off the tag yet because I didn’t have anything handy. The spray settings are great. Unfortunately, the third time I went to use it, the handle broke! I don’t know how on earth that happened as I keep it on top of my hose reel which is inside my garage, but that is completely unacceptable. If it had any durability, it would be a great deal but two uses is ridiculous. My last sprayer was four years old when it started leaking. I regret tossing it as I probably would have been better off trying to repair it if this is the quality available these days.

                            Works well with snake hose
                            I have a snake hose which I like a lot. It came with its own sprayer. I was trying to pull out the washer into use elsewhere and messed up its sprayer, so I bought this one. I should have purchased this Melnor sprayer long ago. It sprays well, has many settings, and is comfortable to use. It does not leak (not for me anyway!). I plan to buy more for other water hoses around the house.
