GARDENA (18270-81) 5 Piece Quick Connect Starter Set Fittings and Connectors, For any 5/8 Inch or 1/2 Inch Garden Hose, Sprinkler or Water Spray Nozzle, Made In Germany

I've tried other brands but I'll keep coming back to Gardenia. They seem to work better, excellent fit/seal and are more durable than other brands. It's hard to find them with the water shut off valve built into them. Great price.

Quality thing

I like this product. It is easy to install and so far holding up not sure for how long since other brands always leak. I’ll leave it to test if time. The only take is that it is pricy.

Great for grow beds hose connections on and off! Snaps in - no leaks

Previously I thought these are cheap compared to it's price, but Now I think, these are good value quick connectors.

I wanted a new end for my retractable and this is not for that. This is for adding on to your exiting hose with threaded ends. Not want i wanted but I used them for my other hose. Love them. The cutoff end is great because you can switch out spray nozzles without turning water off. My one nozzle leaks so now I just pop it off when im done and the problem is solved.

light weight and function well.

This is a great product! Here is a complete kit to get you started with quick connect use. It contains everything you need to quick connect your hose to the faucet, and to quick connect two devices to the hose.The description doesn't mention it - but the hose end quick connect adapter has a valve which stops water when you disconnect whatever you have attached. This allows you to change devices on the hose end without having to turn off the water!I found these items to be completely leak proof when tightened firmly. The best news is these fittings are all compatible with the Ames Tru Temper cassette hose reel systems!UPDATE ONE YEAR LATER: Every single fitting (faucet and device fittings) has broken. Some due to obvious abuse, being sheared right off - and some perhaps not so abused yet still showing hairline cracks that leak water. The problem is the fittings are made from plastic - it breaks, cracks etc. Meanwhile I have brass fittings that are compatible with the quick connect/disconnect hose ends. I wish I could find more of the brass fittings - they are impervious to normal garden wear and tear.
