Easy on, Easy off
This Melnor Starter set makes it so easy to remove my nose nozzle and replace it with my watering wand. I saw some reveiwers complaining of leakage between the male amd female components of this set. I have the female component on my garden hose and it tighened securely. I have male components on my hose nozzle and my watering wand and I had leakage to begin with. The male components were not tight enough, so i put some duct tape on a pair of pliers and tightened them using the metal end of the component rather than the plastic “nut” on the male component. The plastic nut was spinning on the male component and would not tighten enough into the nozzle or wand to prevent leakage. Works great now with no leakage between the fittings. See the photo Ihave included to illustrate how I tightened the male component.

A uniquely terrible product
It leaks all over the place, the joint doesn’t seal at all.

Leaks
This was the only product of this type that my local HD had. I am Highly dissatisfied with my purchase. This set leaks when the two pieces are connected together and is worthless. Who wants a leaky hose? Not me. Not worth the gas though to take it back.

Cheaply made, leaky. Very disappointed. I bought two sets of these to augment the ones I already had. The decline is quality is heartbreaking.f
The attached comparison photo shows a set of these fittings bought 15 years ago, side by side with these new ones.
Note that the old ones, darker in color, are machined from solid brass. These were bought between 1998 and 2004. They still connect up, smooth, secure, and water tight.
Next to them, see the ones I bought last month. These are cast or molded from some cheap pot metal and coated with a decorative gold colored film. These leak and they do not fit up securely, not with themselves, and not with the older fittings either. Very Sad.

Terrible quality
Bought this and I struggled to separate the parts, after looking at them I see why. Online it appears to be brass, but it’s not. Look at the pictures.... terrible quality, there is no way this will last if it would even seal in the first place. I took it back, not going to waste my time.

One of the better quick connect sets I have tried. It has a small valve inside, that prevents leaks and drips. Hopefully this will continue. I have only used once, briefly.

These are great. I have a lot of different attachments for my garden and I like the quick connect ability that these allow for. I did end up purchasing quite a few more male ends because, you only really need one female end per hose. They are easy to use and don’t leak (if their screwed in properly). That said, they do tend to back out and leak which requires re-tightening every so often. The black plastic molded to the outside adds extra grip when it’s wet.

I like the shutoff feature
I used this to switch between a spike sprinkler set in my yard, and a hand held sprayer for the garden. The shutoff feature works great for disconnecting the sprinkler system to make adjustments without maiinf puddles in the yard
