    I have used what seems like a previous version and they were handy, these are newer and better looking IMO.
    I'll get some myself soon.

    A client bought some tubes of silicone and they came witth a more basic version as standard, they were the same size as a regular nozzle, but had a swivel point halfway down them, I grabbed them quick and used regular nozzles on her job, they come in handy from time to time in a tight place

    I could have done with this a few weeks ago, a gadget with room for improvement but handy all the same.

    They do come in handy... What's not to like? You can use them as a standard nozzle or angle them. My one criticism would be the knuckle could do with being a bit stiffer so what ever angle you set it at, it stays in that position rather than moving mid flow

    Have tried swivel nozzles on Plumbers Gold silicone stocked in my local plumbers merchant - good for difficult spots. However - to get into really tight spaces, I have successfully utilised 2 standard silicone nozzles (one pushed on top of the other) to extend reach into tight spots (i.e. behind taps). It works extremely well and costs nothing (always got a few spare silicone nozzles).
