The Gilmour Swivel Connect compact watering wand features a connector that pivots without twisting the hose reducing kinks by 70%. Additionally, the force that causes the hose to rotate is reduced, making it easier to pull and keep the hose straight. This compact wand is ideal for closer, gentle watering of plants in the ground, while its length also helps to reach raised plants and flowers. An ergonomic handle with thumb control on/off valve adjusts water flow without hand fatigue and five clearly marked, easily articulated spray patterns offer a variety of options.
