I saw this in a Random Idea and thought it was relevant to this thread. It sounds like this adjustable hose nozzle would last for a while!
Juli, I hope you don't mind my copying it!

"John Rice, of Thoroughbred Daylilies in Paris, KY, told me about his favorite hose nozzle at least 10 years ago. I bought one and it is still going strong, unlike most of the nozzles from the big box stores. It's a Bon-Air Ultimate Hose Nozzle. It looks a bit like the end of a fire hose, and puts out an adjustable spray that you can use for lots of purposes! One of those classic tools for the garden."
