For more than 50 years， Gilmour has been focused on manufacturing highly reliable tools for outdoor watering， in order to remove frustrations and add enjoyment along the path to watering and cleaning success. Watering changed forever in 1949 when Robert Gilmour began Gilmour Manufacturing Company and introduced the first pistol grip nozzle. Other Gilmour firsts include the original clamp-style hose repair， the exceptionally adjustable Pattern Master sprinklers， Select-A-Spray nozzles， no-pre-mix sprayers and rotor sprinklers with multi-jet nozzles. Ongoing research and testing ensure the extreme quality and durability of all Gilmour products.
