Functional, cheap and provides a quick connect to whatever you are using it!
This works! It is cheap and leaks a little over time, but it works!When I bought this, I was worried about it breaking down over time and it sounded like it was going to leak ridiculously from other reviews. I installed this in my bathroom so I can connect to the washing machine.When I installed it, it was easy to set up, it worked really well and did not leak. I've used it now for close to 6 months on almost a daily basis.Pro's- Quick and easy to setup- Functional and works great- Minimal leakage. It used to fit snug and over time, it started to leak like little drips when the water is running at full blast. I honestly expected this, especially over time. If you just twist it a little bit to change the angle, it stops.Con's- my only qualm about this is that it requires a bit of force to actually lock the two parts together. My gf has a bit of issues and even I have to use some force to push it together and take apart. I think it has to do with how it creates the lock which is fine if it is creating a leakproof item.For the price and function, I'd highly recommend this product. I would repurchase if mine breaks down at any point

An absolute must if you find yourself frequently swapping watering equipment
This 6-piece set was exactly what I've needed for quickly swapping a watering wand, soaker hoses, and drip irrigation systems. Although they're plastic, the set appears very well made and seems like it'll last for quite a long time. I do see the o-rings needing periodical replacement, but o-ring are inexpensive and easy to replace. Additional adapters can also be purchased as needed for new equipment. The water stop is a nice feature as I'm able to quickly switch from the wand to a soaker hose without having to walk over to shut off the faucet. If you don't already have them on hand, get some teflon tape and new rubber hose washers for the installation. Although I can't speak for the negative reviewers who experienced leaking issues from their set, I highly recommend this product because it installs in minutes and quickly solved the problem of having to twist on different watering equipment as needed.

Easy to Use, but Plan Your Use
You have choices on how to use these quick connect devices: Attach the large Blue female connector to the faucet, or connect the small Yellow male connector to the faucet. There are pros and cons for each installation.These quick connects make using your outdoor hoses quick and easy to operate. Switching attachments goes from leak-prone soaking mess to a leak-resistant easy swap.Keep in mind the large Blue female connector has a "water stop" feature; the large Yellow female connector is a flow-through connector.The PROS:a) Makes moving water hoses and changing attachments fast and easyd If you install the large Blue female connector to the faucet and the water is on, when you remove your hose, there's no water flow/leakage.b) If you install the small Yellow threaded male connector to the faucet (and the large Blue female connector at the "working end" of the hose), you can easily swap attachments without bother.c) Installing the large Blue female connector at the faucet makes the faucet end leak-proof when disconnecting hoses from the faucet.The CONS:1) If you install the Blue female connector to your faucet, you first must remove any anti-backflow device on your faucet or it will not fit/work.2) If the Blue female connector is installed on the faucet, then every time you change attachments, water is flowing from the hose -- makes changing attachments difficult to impossible.3) If you reverse the setup -- attach the smaller Yellow male connector to the faucet -- you may not have enough small Blue threaded male connectors for all your attachments.Plan a little in advance to meet your particular needs.

It’s a SNAP
This was to simple and wished I had this years ago. I have a pressure washer and fitted this up to use it on our new driveway and back patio. With a snap, remove the sprayer and connect it to the pressure washer, no tools needed. Great product!

Easy to use, trouble-free
I had "Amazon Choice" rated brass connectors before, and I wasn't happy with them any more. The disconnect mechanism was sticky, they leaked, and they could not be disconnected when the hose pressurized. These plastic ones have none of those problems.These plastic connectors have a large gripping surface so it is easy to pull to disconnect, not sticky, and I could disconnect it even when the hose is pressurized. There's a valve inside the grey connectors to stop the flow when nothing is connected to it so you can change tools without having to go to the faucet.When researching this product, I found many reviews suggested saying brass ones are ore durable, and they're probably right about that, but these are so much less trouble. Even if I find myself replacing these in a couple years, I probably won't be going back to brass.

Better than I thought.
I have always used brass connectors. Lately, they come with a useless valve that makes it impossible (at least for me) to insert the connector. I tried this item since it had a lot of good reviews. It comes with a valve but it is actually possible to insert the male part of the connector when there is water pressure in the hose. it feels sturdy and does not leak. I don't use a shutoff valve in the hose anymore, just disconnect using this item. I also had an issue with a brass connector that got stock on the faucet from being connected for several years. I had to have a plumber remove it. I don't suppose that plastic will stick to metal now.No more brass for me.

Works good most of the time
I don't usually write reviews, but two started leaking after less than a year of use. These are supposed to make watering and changing out hoses easier, not more difficult. However, another began to leak today, so I went to order more, and they are TWICE what I paid last year ($10.99). Makes no sense. TWICE? I wanted to love these but was disappointed in the quality and the ridiculous price increase.

Works great!
These were easy to attach. Previously I used to tighten fittings a lot to prevent leaks, and my wife could not change sprayers. I switched to these, and no leaks (I did not have to tighten them much), and now it is easy to swap attachments.So I strongly recommended these and the price is good as well. Solved my problem effectively and economically.

Very good quick disconnect set
Great little set that allows you to flip between spray wands and sprinklers, etc. No leaks. Very happy with it.If you remove the male end, there's a stopper in the female end so that you don't need run over to turn off the hose, or have another shutoff at the business end. Just disconnect "live" and reconnect another device and you're good to go, no getting soaked.
