not me... why?

I was thinking that it would help with cleaning
and another project I'm planning

I doubt it's as powerful as they claim but it should outperform a regular garden sprayer.

Looks like a total ripoff. It's a 3/4" brass end cap with a hole drilled in it. Plus, it has no shutoff except way back at the spigot.

Actually it has a stainless ball valve at the handle and a venturi type restrictor tube. However it gets pitiful reviews at amazon:

those are all rip offs

I built one of these for 5 bucks (note: clicking the link will open a pdf- sorry, I can't seem to post pics): http://bayareamashers.org/gadgets/DIY pressure washer.pdf

It works great. No trigger, but I'm sure a crafty fella could concoct something!

Nice trick, I will try making one of those, but with a valve in between the hose and sprayer.

If you really think about it they are only as good as the city water pressure entering your home.

I've been toying that idea myself. Right now I do it next to the deep sink, so it's easy enough to just hit the handle.

FWIW, we have really crappy (low) water pressure, and this thing still gives one hell of a good blast. It's all in the restriction.
