Price Pfister Bixby Single Handle Pull-Out Kitchen Faucet

We bought this faucet from Home Depot about November of 2009 for about $150. We were at first a little leery of the cheap plastic pull-out handle but couldn't afford anything more expensive. The hose is flexible plastic wrapped with black, knit nylon which at first glance seems pretty durable. The salesman mentioned that the nylon would probably wear out but not to worry because they had replacements.

I ended up removing the entire faucet and replacing it with the same model that served so well for so many years... a Moen

It is discounted faucet. It is simple shape for kitchen. Not much function.
It is easy to pull out but very weak handle. The narrow range of faucet activity is need to improve.
Straight and spread out is only choice for water.
