Editor's Notes
November 10, 2020:
After reviewing customer feedback for the best nozzles for pressure washers, we moved the Powerfit 6-in-1 Changeover up on the list. Although it is a bit heavier than other options, customers seem to appreciate the convenience of turning a dial to switch the settings. We removed the Erie Tools Rotating attachment because of leaking issues and replaced it with Azdele Turbo. It is made of stainless steel and does a great job of removing rust and stripping paint from wood.

Although in the past, some consumer safety organizations have recommended not using the red, or 0-degree, nozzle, we have decided to include sets that feature the full complement of colors. Users should note that all of them, and the red especially, can cause severe injury. Whether you're a pro or a home DIYer, be sure to exercise caution. With that said, we think the AMZ Tool Quick Connecting 8-Pack and the Twinkle Star Lance and Tip Kit are the best bet for a variety of uses. The former conveniently comes with a large foam cannon, while the latter features a pivoting coupler for wider reach. But neither are terribly expensive. We also added two turbo, rotating options, the Tool Daily Turbo and the Erie Tools Rotating. The Erie Tools model is acceptable for use with hot water, whereas the Tool Daily model is not. Finally, we selected a couple of multi-use nozzles, including the Simpson 5-N-1, which let you change the degree pattern with a flick of the wrist. These do add some bulk, however, so if you'll be working for a long time, the added weight may not be worth the convenience.
