Nozzle ordered Sunday afternoon... Recieved via AIRBORNE EXPRESS this morning!! How's that for fast service.
This thing looks awesome... feels VERY sturdy and is placarded all over the place with 'LIFETIME WARRANTY' (obviously a key sales point).
I'll use it sometime this week once Noah finishes up the boat he's building down the street from my location and report back...

RockPick,
I know this is too late for you but the others may find it useful....
You can go to sears.com and do a search for "nozzle" and you will find the same one with the Craftsman Lifetime gaurantee for around $19.99. Throw in the "Gilmore Shut-off Valve, Brass" for 5.99 and you don't have to keep finding the "sweet spot" for your nozzle, just on/off, on/off. (it's the whole Groit's setup for about $26!)
I actually found mine at Sears so I didn't even have to order it and pay shipping.

Hey RP,
I hope you didn't think I was saying, "You should have, blah blah blah" or "My way is better blah blah blah". I'm sure the one you got is of the same quality and you will probably get many problem free years of use out of it. I would still suggest running by and getting the little shut-off valve. It makes it so much easier once you get the nozzle dialed in right where you want it.
The only complaint I have about mine is that I don't have the water pressure to available to make it really fan out. Setting it up as a "stream" works great though.

Just tried it... I LOVE IT.... excellent selection of spray patterns and very very strong with my 5/8" ID hose.
Worth every penny....
