Best overall quality water hose sprayer?

I thought I would see what most of you are using for a sprayer when washing your own vehicles? I'm finding the majority of sprayers available at hardware/box stores (Home Depot etc.) tend to be plastic in nature, only lasting a year or so.
I just went to use mine and the plastic grip was cracked, so water was spraying everywhere, so I thought I'd see if some of you have come across a better quality water sprayer, for getting the soap off of your vehicle when washing it!
I've tried several now, and haven't come across many that stand up to the test of time.

Any links to a quality unit would be appreciated. Comments/advice is also welcome.

Re: Best overall quality water hose sprayer?

I use a Sears Craftsman hose nozzle. Made in the USA, cast metal and rubber coated. Adjustable nozzle with replaceable o-ring. I don't see it online, may only be available in stores.

Re: Best overall quality water hose sprayer?

I have a fire hose type nozzle on 3/4 NOT 5/8" hose. more volume means more cleaning power. the fire hose type nozzle goes from blasting stream to large fan and everything in between.

I wont own a hose without one from now on.
