Melnor watering wand (30 inch) has identical ball valve, a pleasure to use. Very easy to open the valve. Used inbetween hose sections or at the end. I have all four of the outlets in use and this works well.

Using this is a piece of cake. Quite hefty metal body. Well made. Solid construction. Great looking product. Great for outdoor hoses.

The levers are so much easier than a turn knob. They operate very smoothly where some we've had with the small turn handles she found hard to rotate.

Stay away from this pos. Don't be fooled by the appearance. Don’t buy these leaky pieces of junk.

The back seam and coupler were split. Went back to all brass connectors and staying away from plastic *. Now it leaks like a siv out the bottom of the coupler. I try replacing the gaskets, but the leak is elsewhere.

Plastic nut that connects this unit to faucet is the weak link. The metal body is connected to individual metal hose attachment points with cheap and brittle plastic. Please upgrade from plastic to a more durable metal.
