Mike's right, the Grohe shutoff DOESN'T shutoff completely, which is good. I included that feature in my original post with the picture, reproduced above. 94.67835% shutoff is good enough for me, and it shouldn't break the hose, because it lets some water dribble through and doesn't build up pressure in the hose.
Ever buy a "less expensive" hose at a hardware store? The minute you shutoff the hose, while the water is still running, the hose, somewhere in the middle and right below your grandma's dress, it breaks!
It's simple, ya gotta shutoff, a wand and a hose.
Da hose breaks, it leaks undaneeth, da wand wands, and da shutoff almost does.
