Eden 94269 Heavy Duty Metal Garden Hose Quick Connect with Water Stop Set, 4 pc

If you’re like me, you’ve tried multiple adapters over the years, metal and plastic, brand name and not, cheap and expensive, and resigned yourself to poor connectivity, excessive water restriction, rust, breakage, lasting one season (if that), and using tools in fruitless efforts to control leaks. They often fail due to low-quality seals and/or threads, poor design, cheap plastic (breakage), cheap metal (corrosion) and/or manufacturing defects.We didn’t expect much from these, especially given the bargain pricing and unfamiliarity w/Eden products. But we needed adapters and decided to try them after reading reviews and noting they include shut-off valves, as it’s a time-consuming annoyance traveling back and forth to shut off and then turn the water back on to switch the hose between sprinklers and hand sprayer. And 3 sets mean I don't have to transfer adapters between multiple hoses, hose bibs, sprinklers, and hand sprayers.OBSERVATIONS- Mo Gain, Less Pain: There’s enough that I can cover the our hose bib, 2 sprinklers, a hand sprayer, and connect my 2 hoses together w/one male connector left over. Don’t need 3 sets? Extras serve as handy back-ups in case you roll over w/lawn mower or a neighbor steals them. Or you can just give a set to the neighbor (or friend, or extended family to try out). - Mo for the Money: even if they last no more than one season they’re a deal compared to the price of competitors for this many connectors (and few competitors offer shut-off valves or locks). However, these are holding up fine for next year.- Superior Seals and Threads: no leaks/drips on any connection other than the cheap hose bib that came w/the house, which drips no matter what is attached to it. Furthermore, other than that POS, no tools were necessary for the other attachments (finger-tightening was sufficient).- Easy Connections and Disconnections (w/sure-sounding clicks).- Shut-off Valves: operate smoothly and completely shut off the water.- Higher Quality Pieces: I haven’t come across tougher plastic, inc. name brands. And these include rubberized, textured finger grips for sure and easy connects/disconnects.- Locks: quick-connect adapters include a simple twist lock to avoid accidental disconnects under pressure. Indicators show locked/unlocked positions.So far we haven’t identified anything we don’t like. In our experience w/countless adapters over decades, these are the only ones deserving of a 5-star rating and review. We can’t say your experience will be the same, or that they will last forever, but we’ve found the quality and pricing unmatched and will be giving other Eden products consideration for our lawn care needs going forward.TIPS- If a connection constantly leaks try multiple adapters to first determine if the issue is the adapter or what it's connected to. The source of leaks can be debris, corroded metal, defective threads, a seal that is poor quality, become hardened over time, or that's crooked/not properly set, or hard water mineral build-up.- Hard water mineral build-up on seals and in threads (adapters, sprinklers, hand sprayers, hoses, hose bibs) will inevitably cause leaks over time. Replacing seals or soaking them and threaded parts in vinegar and using a brush (e.g., old toothbrush or pipe cleaning brush) can eliminate this type of leak.

I have purchased a few different packs of these from this company. I am pleased with all of them and they have made my life more convenient.This summer I decided to build a water "backbone" down the privacy fence side of the yard that already has a pavilion, rock garden and landscaping, a yard building and garden. In this build I put a few splits in the backbone hose to host an expandable hose at the rock garden area, and vegetable garden, so I didn't have to drag 100' of hose down and back all the time. It all worked well, and these helped me quickly pop off and on all of the various hose ends that I have from sprayers, to wands, to yard sprinklers and hose attachments like Miracle Gro, cleaning spayers, power washer, etc. I have attached the male end of these to almost everything I have, while the female end is on all the ends of the hoses.The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish I could buy a pack of male ends. I have a lot of devices I'm attaching and need no more of any of the other parts. The reason I bought this kit is that it comes with more male ends than many of their other kits.I don't love the locking mechanism. I just don't need/use it, but often find its become locked and I have to figure out what's going on. Otherwise, the functionality and value is good and after several orders I've not had a "broken part."

I ordered a different brand last year, and my wife and I both struggled to get the sprayer to detach from the hose. Definitely wasn't anything quick about it. So, I was hesitant to try again. However, these work flawlessly. Easy to connect and disconnect from the hose. The valve also seems to work well.

These are very well matched set. Now all my hoses have the same fittings on them. Pieces go together well and fit tight.

This quick connect serves the purpose, but it does leak a bit. The key is to apply a layer of food-grade silicon grease to the O-ring and the innards and that takes care of it. Just make sure you use food-grade silicon grease that people use for food processors.

I’ve tried so many different brands and these are the best ones I’ve used so far. Hopefully they will continue to be my favorites.

Really good quality. Well made.

Easy to use, works well.

This set of quick connectors are amazing! It makes my life much easier. I no longer need to run back and forth between the front yard and my back yard to turn on/off the switch. And it is super easy to switch between the nozzle, sprinkler and fertilizer bottle. Thank you so much!

The connectors are of poor quality and started leaking from the first day of use. I will return it and look for a better quality one.
