I stumbled across this deal earlier for a Hozelock Flexible Spray Gun at Wickes. I was looking for some other Hozelock attachments and saw this on their website for £4.99. All other retailers have it for £20 upwards. Amazon have it for £20.95 and the DIY sheds and local garden centres for anything between that and £30.
Note that the website says out of stock for delivery but going through to click and collect will bring up several major stores that have stock. I've just reserved and picked one up from the Derby branch (3no left) and looking through there's stock of 2-3 per store at many locations. I did note that they weren't on display at Derby so not sure where they were keeping them, but I had the confirmation email within 15 minutes and picked it up about 10 minutes later.
I know it's not for everyone, but the reviews are good and the saving is huge so I thought I'd share.

actually I've just checked and it's showing as 8 in stock at the same branch I ordered from yesterday. I think I'll place another order and see what they tell me this time.

thank you so much for your advice - I know she was keen to get me to agree to a refund on the phone. When I pushed the matter she played the victim, saying she'd just arrived at work and had been told to ring me and say they were OOS. She asked me if I wanted to collect it from another store, if they had it in stock - and offered somewhere 15 miles out as the nearest branch with stock. I think I'll just use me old sprayer lol :-)

Disappointed, said had 7 in stock at a wickes not too far, I ordered and paid for one few hours back. I just got a phone call to say there are none on the shelf... Guess some greedy git took the last of them. Bit of a bummer as I have to wait 5 days to get card refunded.

Probably out the back somewhere but they couldn't be bothered to look. Happened to me when I wanted a cordless hedge trimmer, none on the shelves, but 2 out back. It should show on their stock system what they have/where.

Just picked mine up from Barnsley branch, 2 more still on the shelf at £16.99 I paid £4.99 thanks OP
Maybe worth seeing if they have them in any store and if so showing them this thread they have a price promise and also says same price online as in store.

Hozelock items are pretty poor quality these days. I had a brand-new hose that lasted just one year. Bizarrely the Aldi hoses on special offer at the moment are much thicker and longer lasting.

I agree. My top of the range 'Ultra' gun lasted a year before it started leaking from the handle.

I often think if only I could squirt the hose round corners without being seen... Thank god they made this just for me!
Does it have a way of mounting a mirror to see who I am squirting?
(I know it's for flower baskets etc but I am tall enough to reach them so pretty sure it will enable me to squirt round corners.)

I don't understand how this is better than the normal spray attachment.

The site shows you all stores with stock available. 75% of stores don't but still a fair few are showing reasonable stock levels.
