Just a note of caution for some people; I tried (purchased and retuned) a DRAMM wand a couple of years ago, they appear to be a very good product, however I had to return due to our low/unpredictable water pressure (a result of being 1 of 5 units on the block). These work best with decent, consistent mains water pressure. (Although I didn't try their smaller head, which may need less pressure)

The best widely available alternative I've found is https://www.masters.com.au/product/9000 ... -inch-46cm _ I've found it to be: comfortable, robust, and functional, with the wide 'shower function' best replicating the DRAMM head (obviously not quite as soft/drenching).

I've also had a japanese brass wand, which was excellent - soft and drenching, but found the head damaged quite easily (especially underfoot )

Might try one of these http://bonsaisensation.com.au/product/j ... wandlarge/ next

you are a champion. I've bought 3 of these wands of late and were not fine enough spray for delicate trees. Looked at this website and there they are. Thank you.

Ryan, I had the same issue as you originally, I tried the 750PL yellow head which was only marginally better, but the 170AL Water Breaker Head is the way to go - works a treat now!

so guys which head does every one recommend before I buy one?

I bought one of these the other week and it's fantastic. Lots of water flow but gentle. Works a treat. Dramm heads fit it too if you want to change them.

Josh which head did you get?

I just used the head that came with from Masters, it's silver I think. I have a Dramm head but it's too direct and to much force. The Dramm head is the 1000 narrow. The head that came from masters is fantastic.
I figured for $13 it's worth a try. I'm going to grab a couple a stick in the shed so I have spares.

Josh what is the dram head from Masters do you Know?

Masters don't sell dram heads. This wand is a knock off version of the dram. I think the cheaper head works better than the dram heads I've used. It's a softer flow but plenty of water.

Thanks Jase, might be worth a shot, I returned the original dramm wand because my local supplier didn't have any additional heads that I could try. But last weekend bought an Orbit "M@ster's special" on Josh's recommendation ($8 clearance special @ Knox) but had the same water pressure problem ... so if the dramm heads are compatible ...

I know you can order the heads online from Forestry Tools, but I think I may have actually grabbed mine from Garden World in Keyborough

Ahh, Ok thanks

1000PL is definitely the nozzle to go for if you have the water flow rate/pressure to drive it. It may be difficult for some people who use a long 30+ metre 12mm hose, switching to a shorter hose and/or 18mm might do the trick.

Cheers,
Mojo

Did you find out if the Dramm heads are compatible with the Orbit Masters?

Sorry Homer, I ended up returning the Orbit to Masters, as I couldn't be bothered with the running around, especially if it didn't fit or if I got the same result
