    Truly revolutionary, Flexogen’s patented 8-ply construction sets the standard for quality in garden hoses. Recognized by longtime gardeners and pros alike,
    Flexogen© is exceptionally rugged, able to withstand the hottest and coldest days.

    With all this strength, it still is remarkably lightweight, flexible and easy to coil. It handles nicely in any weather, resisting kinks, abrasions, stains
    and mildew. Our promise: “It’s the last hose you’ll ever buy.”

    The innovation behind Flexogen goes into all of our hoses and hose accessories. Whether it’s a soaking hose, space-saving marine hose or commercial-grade
    rubber hose, Gilmour is the leader in long-life performance.

        

    Fertilizing, treating weeds, applying deck stains, stripping wallpaper – there’s no end to the jobs made easier with a Gilmour sprayer. With convenient features
    other brands can’t match, Gilmour takes innovation to new levels.

    Forget pumping and heavy lifting. For the ultimate in convenience, try our Wheel Pump Sprayer. It pressurizes as you walk or roll it back and forth. The wheels
    carry the weight. The wand conveniently stores inside the handle for neat storage. What could be easier?

    If you’re in the market for a premium traditional sprayer, you should know that Gilmour tanks have more actual capacity than most comparable tanks.
    The beauty is in the details: ultraviolet-resistant tank, extra-wide mouth for easy filling, extra-long hose, pivoting handle for easy carrying and a cap design
    that safely releases pressure downward.

    Hose-end sprayers offer easy, precise chemical mixing. A turn of the dial gives you the required dilution.

    Gilmour’s sprayer line includes a wide variety of models for light and industrial uses, all great values.

    Pruning Tools

    In 1850 Seymour Smith and Son founded a firm to manufacture assorted kinds of hardware. An acquisition of a pruning tool company led to what would become the company’s main product line. The name Snap-Cut was well known as America’s first anvil hand pruner, as it was such a “snap” to use. Continuing on the path of innovation, the company introduced such products as the first gear-driven lopping shears, gear-driven pole pruners and vertical sweep grass shears.

    Tank Sprayers

    Universal Metal products first opened its doors in 1935. Their first sprayers, made of metal, were introduced in the 1940s. A series of acquisitions and the ability to manufacture plastic led to the introduction of the first polyethylene sprayers. These sprayers featured the name “Yard Doc,” which was later changed to “Spray Doc.”

    Product designs continually improved and now include such important features as pressure-release valves, leak-resistant seals, wide tank mouths for ease of maintenance and a cap that safely releases pressure.

    Garden Hose

    The plant that makes “the last hose you’ll ever buy” was a much different business when it was founded in 1947. Although they were plastic, the products were injection-molded parts for everything from can opener housings to pantyhose containers and car parts. Several different owners added other capabilities, including the production of garden hoses. With a focus on garden hoses, the company set the standard for quality with the introduction of its patented Flexogen hose.

    Watering Products

    Watering changed forever in 1949 when Robert Gilmour began Gilmour Manufacturing Company and introduced the first pistol grip nozzle. A new owner would continue the focus on quality and innovation. Other Gilmour firsts include the original clamshell-style hose repair, the exceptionally adjustable Pattern Master sprinklers, Select-A-Spray nozzles, no-pre-mix sprayers and rotor sprinklers with multi-jet nozzles.
