I've been through countless garden hose sprayer heads, and it's super frustrating that they all seem to be made of plastic and last just a season or two. I've got three hoses, and I'm really tired of replacing the sprayers all the time. Has anyone found a good-quality sprayer head that can withstand the test of time?

I feel your pain! I haven't found any sprayer head that lasts more than a couple years either. ? What I found helps is keeping them indoors during winter. I used to leave mine in an unheated garage, and they didn't last long. Just bringing them inside for the cold months seemed to help. Also, dropping them on the grass instead of hard ground could make a difference.
If you don't need an adjustable sprayer, try an aluminum wand with tons of tiny holes at the end. They deliver water really well and resist cracking. Just beware of dropping it in dirt, as the little holes can clog. I found that cleaning it regularly helps keep it in good shape.
I've had good luck with my Eden brand sprayer. It's metal, so it's more durable than the usual plastic ones, and it has a quick connect feature that makes switching between attachments super easy. Mine's been kicking for three seasons now without any major issues! Maybe worth checking out?
