Ordered that one from Amazon. It should arrive today. I ordered chrome
rather than SS finish. I have a nice SS-finish set in the bathroom
whose handle is worn down to the brass after maybe 10 or 15 years.
Chrome ought to be better, although the chrome plating on the last
Craftsman 10mm socket I bought peeled off with my thumbnail.

Arrived. Installed. Oooh, shiny. Considerably less volume than the
old leaky washerful faucet, though. There are always tradeoffs.
Some mfrs limit the flow (per state reg's) by putting extra screens in the aerator.

Where I live, the reg's limit the flow of a kitchen faucet, to save water. I think it's
counter-procuctive. If turning the water on full force doesn't get you a bath, you'll always
turn it on full force, because it's easier/simpler, even when you just need a littel water. If
you have a faucet that will give you a bath when you turn it on full force, you'll learn to be
careful, and only turn it enough to get the flow you need. the shower is another crazy story.
The reg's require a single valve that doesn't allow you to control both flow and temp. When
you get the temp you want, the flow is (or near) full flow. If you want flow control, you have
to install another valve somewhere between the main valve and the shower head, but that's not
required by the reg's. Absolutely looney!
I may be the only person left on earth who likes those rubber spray
attachments better than the aerator-things; if more people liked them
they'd be easier to find :-(
I remember those wonderful things, but haven't seen one in decades. Can you provide a source?

What, these?

We've got one. It's very handy for rinsing out the sink or the big pot in which
we make spaghetti sauce.

Sounds to me that she means these types:
