Side by Side Comparison of: Viking vs Rapsil

IronMan Strong, Rubber Gripped, Multi-Spray Patterns, Locking Auto Spray Feature!
* This Sprayer is Awesome! I planted my Summer Garden and (all) my old sprayers were leaking so I ordered this. Score!
* It has several patterns and I use them all. The jet works fantastic for removing the debris from the edge of my walkway. The shower and mist are great for watering the plants. The angle is easy to spray at the edge of my deck!
* The O ring that came with mine has a super snug seal. My Dad told me years ago to tighten it as much as I can then back it off 1/8 turn, so, I did. ( He said this ensures it is tight and can expand and contract in changing temps. Also,O rings need to be changed 2X a year at Daylights savings time.)
* When I change patterns, the rotating dial turns Easily with no leaks. No dripping down my arm or wetting my shirt!
* There is a "D" ring for Auto-On Spray. It flips up and down like a dream! No sticking!
* I really like that it is a medium weight and at 7-8 dollars it's a great deal. I have 3 of these placed around my yard!
* I only recommend the very best products and this sprayer is one of them!
* AND Free, 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime! Yay! Great when replacing broken items!

seems to work well. I attached it to this hose (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004RAGL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) if anybody is interested. I seems to have a bunch of different sprays to choose from but I am too insecure to use any but the fine misty one as to not hurt my plants (which have died but I am sure it was the drip system, not this nozzle). I would buy again but why should I need to as this one is working perfectly fine.

Ive only had it for a few days, but so far I love it. Its much better quality and cost less than the similar looking all plastic nozzle it replaced. I really like the "shower" setting. flow is great without being overly strong so that it doesnt disturb my delicate plants. The old one on the same setting used to beat the hell out of them.

I was walking through Lowe's this week when I remember the handle of one my hose nozzles had a broken handle. I passed their selection of handles to see the lowest price was a "2 pack" of nozzles for $8.99. I didn't need two nozzles so I opened my Amazon iPhone app while standing there and found this nearly duplicate one for under $6.00 delivered. I added it to cart and checked out before even leaving that store with the rest of my purchase.

It arrived promptly, it's EXACTLY what I needed, well made and cost me less than locally. Highly recommended!

As a Vermonter, I seem to be on a never-ending quest to find a hose nozzle that can survive the winter. I don't abuse them, and I've even given up leaving them on the actual hose outside. And yet I am still having trouble finding one that can even last ONE winter in a protected garage. This one, at least, has survived one year so far. That is more than what I can say about the very similar Orbit 58228N hose nozzle which I also bought at the same time from Amazon, which is now reduced to a leaky mess. This nozzle is actually cheaper right now anyway. For the current price (about $5), I have no problems giving this nozzle 5 stars.

This is OK, it does what is advertises yet the pressure on the high settings is lower than other models I have had in the past. The reason for the four stars however is unlike many others I have used for a while and haven't had any leaks which is virtually unheard of after a few months- a huge plus

We bought this sprayer to replace one that had broken. It works great, and we love that we have so many options on what type of spray we get. We have used it all spring and summer now, and haven't had any complaints at all-even being used daily. The price point was fantastic, and less than we could get one locally with less features.

Great garden nozzle, very good price compared to in stores. We will see how long it lasts.

I've been using it for months now with no problems. It feels kind of light weight, but it has stood up to at least weekly use on our garden. I use the different settings, which also work as stated. I would buy this again.

Nothing to write home about but it feels solid in construction, we shall see how it holds up over the elements and time. I don't like that downward facing spray setting, not sure what the design engineer person was thinking when they decided to put that in there as its almost completely useless.

Honestly most of the settings are useless except for jet, full, shower and mist for any sensitive little seedlings. The other settings are for bored old ladies to play around with or small children to have fun spraying each other with.

In conclusion so far this is better than something that you could pick up in walmart or any other chain store.

Exactly what I needed to replace a few broken nozzles around the garden. This is well built and will last much longer than then cheaper made all plastic ones I replaced. Every spray pattern I need for gardening and using to clean off pavement, wash cars, etc. I do agree with other reviews..."jet" setting is a bit weak. So knock off a star for that. Overall, very good product though. Save your money and pick this up.

I've seen better nozzles. It does have many different streams when you turn the black wheel. Worth the purchase, just not a WOW nozzle.

Pretty cheap feeling but I guess it does the trick.

It does what the Amazon ad says, but not very well. I found most of the spray patterns ineffective and such low volume they were not useable. My water pressure is good and my previous pistol type, without all these patterns, operated much better and allowed better pressure. If you need a weak mist or angle or flat spray, this will probably be for you. My main use is while washing my cars and this doesn't work well for me.

It's an OK sprayer. I bought this 6 months ago, to replace a sprayer which leaked over the handle. This one didn't leak... until it did leak about 3 months later (daily use). Kind of a pain to use when these things get your hands wet, as you need to remove gloves first then dry off. I'd pay extra for a sprayer that simply lasts much longer.

It sprays....... not much to be said other than it works "sorta" as one would expect. The only complaint is that it seems to have a "Water saver" restricter in it. Something that one might expect in a shower head but not in a garden sprayer. It doesn't spray nearly as far as my old sprayer does. If you are looking for "Distance", you may want to consider a different spray nozzle.

This is a pretty good nozzle. My only complaint is that the shower setting is really toned down compared to other nozzles I've used. I bought this to water my front lawn (which is not big at all), but I find myself using the jet setting because the shower is too restrictive on the water pressure. With the shower setting, you're looking at maybe a 3 foot spray.If I was using this for my garden, then I'd be very happy with this since it would work great for watering your plants without disrupting the soil.If you are looking for something that takes better advantage of the water pressure you have, I'd look elsewhere.

The nozzle at first worked very well, but within a few months it drips from the spray end, no matter which strength or type of spray is selected. So, i will need to be replacing it already because i don't like being dripped on, nor do i like to waste water.

The shower setting doesn't spray as far as comparable spray nozzles

Quality has gone downhill. I purchased one August 2015 and love it. My father's spray nozzle broke, so I bought one of these to replace his. Absolute garbage. The "jet" is weak, the "shower" setting has plugged up holes and so is both weak and wonky. I hope they get QC back under control, but for now: stay away. Giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because of the good one I bought in 2015.

I bought this in 2014 and it's now in the trash. This is cheaply made with mostly plastic parts that will fail. In fact, the metal valve busted the back plastic handle apart. Don't buy this and just invest in a solid build like this: Gilmour Zinc Thumb Control Dial Nozzle from a local Lowes. Yes, it's more expensive, but a huge improvement over this garbage!

I've had this nozzle for three full years in September. I had to disassemble it to see what was causing the internal valve not to close when released. I found it's innards had rusted enough to cause the trigger to stick. I got my trusty lithium grease spray out to see how that would help. Parts intentionally exposed to water should not rust, period. Hence, the two stars. It's working for now. But people should not need to take apart nozzles to maintain them. They should be built with rust proof parts. I'm not buying this again.

Loved it at first..but after about 6 months of use it has completely broken. It is now perpetually stuck on some horrible low-flow shower setting, rendering it completely useless for everything except watering delicate plants

I had this product for about 6 months. Using it on occasion only ( 1x, maybe 2x a week). The plastic part at the top, that sits in between the rubber handle and metal pin. It broke recently. and not under hard or nearly extreme pressure. It's a get what you pay for situation.

BROKE AFTER FIRST USE

Made almost exclusively of plastic, even the hose screw in part which is usually the first to break otherwise. Returned it. You can get the same made of almost all metal from Home Depot or Lowes for the same price!

Not durable. Started leaking within couple of weeks. Disassembled to fix the washer, but design in made to fail rather than function.

I have 3 of these, and all of them leak and no longer stop the water flow when the hose is on. These are really bad.Amazon should stop selling them.

This thing leaks all over the place.. not only does it leak though (thru the sides) but it also stopped working after 3 uses..pretty much useless item .. waste of money... but then, you get what you pay for right?When buying this, just don't expect anything good
