In comparison with other nozzles available, it looked like it was better made, but after reading the 1 star review here, I'm not sure that it will hold up. I am replacing a brass nozzle that I have had for 30 years. I'm getting a little older and the trigger nozzle looked easier to manipulate than the twist on-off brass nozzles. No where in the specifications does it say it is Made in China. I'm including that information in my review for those who think that information is important.
