L R Nelson 50320 Garden Hose Quick Connector

Composite materials. Overmolded grip. Contains: 2 Male quick connectors.
Customer Review: Better than the Gardena Original
This is a major improvement over Gardena's original quick connector system. Thanks to clever design -- the large diameter collar -- you do not need pliers to secure a tight fit. Simple hand tightening on the male fitting will ensure that it works and doesn't leak. The couplers are solid, well made and priced much better than competitive products. Best of all -- the original water stop on the downstream (female) connector is gone. Anyone with high water pressure will appreciate this. For my money, these couplers are the best design yet -- and they are more than competitively priced.
Customer Review: Inconsistent "standards"
I committed to Nelson's previous quick connect system and now need to add to that. Apparently they discontinued the style I bought. That's fine, but the design of the new ones are the opposite of the previous model. Mine have a female threading opposite the male quick connect. The new models has male threads opposite the male quick connect. I called Nelson to ask what was going on and the answer was pretty much, "Oh well." I'll buy from one of their competitors instead and suggest you do the same if you want to deal with a company that values their customers.
