Rehau Brass Fittings Starter Set 1/2in

Advantages: No rust, will last a lifetime.
Disadvantages: Price.

...! This makes it a bargain. Being brass, there is no rust to worry about either. It is fitted with the usual quick release coupling, and apart from replacing an "O" ring every few years, it is a fit and forget job, no need for even a service. For those trying to get some sleep, these fittings weigh 125 grammes, and will produce a good solid jet, a fine spray, or turn off. The nozzles are easy to connect and disconnect, and are equally easy to operate. These Rehau products are available at many places, I would have thought your first port of call would be the larger DIY Superstores.You can also buy from the likes of Amazon etc. Sorry if the review was a little short, please feel free to rate accordingly, OR write a better one!!! Hmmm, I enjoyed that! Hum-ti Hum-ti Hum.... Read review

Advantages: Snap on fittings, very easy, very good.
Disadvantages: None, unless you run over them.

...OK, a review on a double male connector for a garden hose, I must be mad! The daft thing is, they are very useful, if you have a garden hose with snap on fit fittings, then you can borrow your neighbours hose. If you don't hve one of these, then you are forced with the choice of cobbling something together with bits of pipe & Jubilee clips, or buying a longer hose.

Advantages: Ease of use,
Disadvantages: A little flimsy.

...I normally tend to write reviews on items I like, and recommend, but in this case I can't actually recommend these at all. The reason being, they do not last, being of steel construction, they rust very quicklly. The paint finish is poor, and the steel is not thick enough. They do tend to bend at the least provocation, and although the basic idea is sound, the materials are not good enough. The design was copied from Firefighting Hosereels, where the hose could be ran out very quickly, the reel swinging out toward the fire, and making it up again was a doddle.. I would like to see a better quality version of these, that really would be something. All fittings are made from corrosion resistant brass, and the reel is supposed to hold some eighty feet of hose! The Company itself. Rehau make many things in plastic, sometimes... Read review
