I do NOT recommend these. I bought them a couple of years ago on a SD and installed them right away. They work OK unless you ever need to remove them. They become "welded" to the hose and faucet. I had to use a pipe wrench to remove them from the faucet and still haven't been able to remove the other end from the hose. I will need to put the hose in a bench vice and probably heat the end a bit with a propane torch to get the darn thing off.

Frankly, you couldn't pay me to take a set of these.

Gave REP to OP regardless, not their fault the product itself is terrible.

Bought some of these mid summer for like $12. They were perfect for me. I swap out a hose spray nozzle and a lawn sprinkler with ease. No leaks, no other issues to note. Picked up this deal since I have a couple more lawn sprinklers to put into the system. Thanks op

Thanks for the tip. This thing is aluminum, so I'm sure it has to do with corrosion of dissimilar metals. A few wraps of teflon tape when installing should help avoid corrosion.

You'll be better off in the long run if you just get brass from the get go.

I use to have the same "welding" issue among nozzles, faucets, hoses, etc. until I started using teflon tape to make a barrier between threads. No more stuck threads! Try it.

Thank you. I can't recall how long ago I set up this alert, but this is the first time I have been able to get these.

I agree. I have tried a number of these over 30 years.
Brass ones will last 4 times longer. Gilmour or Nelson brands are the best of the brass ones. Not cheap but cost is less longterm compared to other brass or aluminum.
