Hourleey Garden Hose Quick Connector, Solid Brass 3/4 Inch GHT Thread Garden Quick Connect Kit, Male and Female No-Leak Water Hose Fittings (4 Set...

These items arrived on time, and in good condition. They look good. Time will tell, but right now they appear to be leak free.

The executive summary: Great value, strongly recommended. For a long time I've been using some quick couplers that worked OK, but depended on a bespoke design washer-seal to keep the water in. Good for a couple season before the rubber seal would crack and leak. They were cheap enough that I just replaced them. But there had to be a better solution I thought. These connectors are really good solid brass machined parts, with an industrial feel that's more confidence-inspiring than the stamped and drawn pieces used on the old ones. The O-ring seals are the main selling point for me. They fit in a groove on the male plug so will be extremely easy to replace when they inevitably wear or crack with age. Just lift the tired rings out when that time comes, fit new ones, and back to no leaks for a very low cost. I like these so much that I bought two 8-packs. Each time I go to use a hose, bib or attachment I add the new quick-disconnects. There's a total of eight bibs around the house here, split between domestic and irrigation water, so all of them will be put to good use in the next few days. Most important though is just the basic functions. The screw onto the hose bibs and hoses without any leakage at all. They pieces connect and disconnect smoothly and easily, and there's no leakage at all from the QD part. Yes, these are a few bucks more than the cheapies, but I've had my fill of "cheap" in favor or much better quality and function. Translated; Better value forward.

Just connect and go. No more wear and tear on your fittings threads taking things off and putting them back on.

I have been using these connectors for a few months and recently order more. They are solidly made, hold up well and don't leak. Once installed they making changing out hose attachments a breeze. I have used plastic quick connects in the past and they didn't last long but think these will and would recommend them.

I ended up going back and buying more. These work great.
