Craftsman  Brass Quick Connector

I purchased several of these a while back and had them sent to the store in Valdosta, GA. I thought I was buying something that would connect one hose to another hose. When I got to the store, they only had the female connectors and I had to purchase the male side of the connections. The picture does show the female side of the connection, but it isn't clear from the information provided that you are getting only the female side (at least that is what happened to me at the Valdosta Store). As for the quality of the product, these connectors are outstanding in their performance. I have purchased more of the sets of male and female connectors at the store and am pleased with how they work and their durability. Just be sure you know what you are going to get when you place an order.

This thing is awesome. You can change hose ends without having to go go back and forth to the spigot. I love this thing.

Higher quality than the comparable items found at ********** and ****** and you can feel the difference when you pick them up, they are and feel like a better product. I installed these with teflon tape for a leak proof connection. The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars is that when I tightened the female portion on my water spigot on the house, the male counterpart was difficult to put on and take off. I found this to be because I had overtightened the female part and the nipple on the male part was hitting the faucet inside the female connector before the spring and ball connection could click. This was corrected by backing off the female connection on the faucet a bit and then it was fine. This can leak then if it is not a tight connection no matter how much teflon tape is used. This could however be a problem with the faucet itself not having ample threads for a good connection and not these connectors at all. Another option would be to grind down the male nipple portion so there is more room inside to make the connection and still have the female connector tight on the house faucet. Otherwise they are great for quickly changing items like a spray nozzle, sprinkler, concentrated sprayer, etc.

Made of brass so, it'll last forever. Makes changing hoses and accesories a breeze.
