Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I have a couple that are well over ten years old and they are still holding up despite being outdoors most of the year. In the early years, they were made of metal, but now plastic.

Does not leak and has been durable. Easy to install.

Only problem is that i was repairing a hose which went from a hose reel to the faucet and the hose was not a standard width. Gilmour makes the best hose connectors. Last a very long time and can be switched from hose to hose.



Cons

Very disappointing product. Cracked and unusable within a week. Better off spending a few more dollars for the all metal option.

The thread depth on the female faucet is insufficient to adequately compress the washer supplied. Connector end is very shallow, barely screws onto spigot.

Quality


The best i have ever purchased durable and seal with no leaks


This is an excellent product and will work well on most hoses


I have fixed numerous hoses with this and not one has failed at the repair


The thing is plastic so dont be the person that overtightens the screws so they strip the plastic

Saved me a lot of bucks instead of buying new hose

    Once connected they dont snag on things like some connectors do

    Needed a quick coupling to add a fill hose off my rain barrel


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The metal option was not the right application since i was connecting it to a plastic female end that was started to strip


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The plastic option holds tight and is not stripping


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But there are heavy duty hoses that have a ridge in the liner


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I dont know why that ridge is there but it keeps the hose from slipping on this type of fixture

    I have prime free shipping while other merchants i have to pay additional for shipping


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its a simple process and only needs a screwdriver slotted or philips either one and a good sharp razor blade
