Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Does the nozzle operate smoothly when turning spray patterns on and off?
Yes. Multiple reviewers describe the on/off operation as smooth and note that the trigger control responds well, with water flow stopping instantly when released.
How durable is the handle long-term?
Reviewers have mixed experiences. Some note the nozzle is well-built and solid, while others report handle breakage under normal use. The product carries a lifetime warranty and the manufacturer will replace it if it fails.
Is the nozzle too large for smaller hands?
Some reviewers found the nozzle size on the larger side for their hands. One customer mentioned it was a bit large, though they still liked the product overall.
Will the stay-lever keep the nozzle in trigger-lock mode?
Most reviewers don't mention the stay-lever. One reported it was loose and slipped down unintentionally, while another noted it drops on its own. Individual tightening may be needed.
How does this compare to budget hose nozzles?
One reviewer compared it to a $3.99 Harbor Freight nozzle and found that product more durable despite paying over $20 for the Fatmax. Most other reviewers describe this as well-built and better than cheaper alternatives, though experiences vary.
Do all the spray pattern controls stay secure?
Some reviewers report that the nozzle spray selector comes loose and leaks, requiring manual tightening to secure it properly.
Is this easier to use if you have hand pain or weakness?
Yes. One customer specifically noted the rear-trigger design makes it easier for hands with limited strength or pain.
Does the rubber grip stay on the handle?
One reviewer reported the handle rubber grip fell off, though this was a minority complaint among 25 reviews.
How long will this nozzle last compared to all-plastic models?
Reviewers who comment on durability suggest it will last significantly longer than standard plastic nozzles, with one stating it should last two to three times longer.
What warranty does this nozzle have?
The product carries a lifetime warranty. Reviewers confirm that claims are processed quickly without question if defects occur.

best warranty

So far, the replacement has been working better than the last one I had. Thank you for the great warranty and hassle-free process!

Product design is defective

It started leaking after a year because the lid was fixed by a small screw in a small plastic hole in the base, which made it easy to loosen and then it started leaking. When I opened it today, the lid suddenly sprayed out.
Although it has been almost 2 years since I bought it, I have actually only used it for one year. I bought it in September 2023, and winter came soon after. I used it for one year in 2024, but it started to leak in October of that year. I continued to use it reluctantly this year, but it finally broke down completely.
Stanley is a very famous brand, but I don't know why this product is so bad.

Weak Handle Design

I paid over $20 for this nozzle thinking it was going to be better than the $3.99 nozzle on sale at Harbor Freight that I've been using. But what I found out was the Fatmax has a weak poorly designed handle. The handle first broke on the side so I super glued it and it held up. Then a month later the handle broke at the hinge point. I glued it again and it broke the first time I used it, at that point it was unrepairable. So, it had a lifetime warranty and I called Stanley, they gave me the phone number to call at Orbit. They replaced it without question. So that was good. But I could buy 5 Harbor Freight nozzles for the same price. And to be honest, the Harbor Freight nozzle actually lasted longer. For me, not worth the price until they redesign the handle to a thicker more durable design.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the handle on one of our Nozzle Sprayers breaking and with having it replaced. We are always looking for ways to improve and will pass this information along to the proper team. Our Customer Care team is glad to assist if any help may be needed in the future, we can be reached by phone at (800)488-6156 or online at support.orbitonline.com. Have a great rest of your day.

A Good Nozzle, but...

This nozzle is a bit large for my hand. The small ring that flips down to keep the nozzle on is very loose and slips down when I don't want it down. However I do like the nozzle otherwise. It works very smoothly at this point.

Not a bad product but needs some work

Not a bad product but needs some work, the stay metal lever drops on it's own rendering it unable to run off as well as the nozzle often does not shut off. The handle rubber grip falls off and the handle breaks under pressure and the nozzle spray on the from selector seems to come not screwed in tight enough and leaks out, so I ave had to tighten all of those which I own.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about one of our Nozzle Sprayers. We are always making room for improvement and will be passing this information along to the proper teams to be looked into. We're glad to know how our Customer Care team was able to assist with your product replacement, and ask that you reach back out to us with any other concerns you may have or if further help may be needed in the future. Have a great rest of your day.

replacement for a thumb operated nozzle which leaked

This nozzle is a replacement for a thumb operated nozzle which leaked from the side. I have not used the Fat Max yet, but I expect it will be fine in the spring. I am impressed with Orbit's customer service. Thanks.

We have tried a lot of different hose nozzles...this one is the best

We have tried a lot of different hose nozzles.....it seems to be difficult to find one we like that is also decent quality. This nozzle seems to be the best, we like the design, the water has good strength on all the different settings and it is comfortable to use...And the manufacturer backs them up with a warranty.

The nozzle is basically a nice design

The nozzle is a nice design, with the exception of the squeeze handle, which, I believe, is the same as the "Craftsman" branded unit that had its' squeeze handle break. This happened 14 months after purchase. This is disappointing, firstly, when any of my "Craftsman" branded tools broke, I would just walk in, and Sears would replace-NO Questions. It has taken 40-50 miles of driving, and multiple calls to Craftsman, and finally to Dewalt to get this resolved.
Between RONA+ here in South Windsor, CRAFTSMAN, and DEWALT, something MUST improve.

Great nozzle

This was actually a warranty replacement for my original nozzle. I like the nozzle and it works well. However, my original nozzle had a problem with the spring after a few months of use and it wouldn’t shut off anymore. Orbit promptly replaced it. Hopefully this one will last because we really like it otherwise.
