This makes me think that Dramm must have gone downhill in the last several years:
A local wholesaler of greenhouse and nursery supplies stocks and advertises (or used to, in 2012) many Dramm irrigation and watering products.

Hmm, their website has separate categories for "Commercial Products" and Consumer Junk (my translation).
Typical Fergeni, their Consumer Junk pages don't list prices. The "Commercial Products" page only lists water breaker nozzles, not wands. And they don't even say what the thread size is!
However, their "History" page says they are still a family company.

Maybe they just started off-shoring their manufacturing without learning how to enforce quality control on their suppliers.
Has someone already reviewed
Gilmour watering wands? I have no idea about price and quality, but my local wholesaler also sells them.

Edited to add: Mother earth News suggests a
"Haws" solid brass watering wand from England, for $67.
