Gardena 36004 18270-81 Garden Hose Quick Connector Starter Set, Orange, Black, Grey, Pack of 5

Passt. Macht was es soll.

I was a little concerned with these ones being made out of plastic, but after several months of use now I find it to work great. I did not go with the metal version of this because it does not look like it is made of brass, and I am afraid of the hose components corroding and binding to each other. I have no issues with leaking or the couplers fitting together. It just makes connecting the hose and accessories so much quicker and easier. Highly recommend.

I’ve tried a lot of different quick-connect hose fittings over the years, and the GARDENA 5-Piece Quick Connect Hose Fittings are by far the best. They feel extremely well-built, snap into place securely, and don’t leak like many cheaper brands I’ve used in the past. Installation was simple — everything fit perfectly onto my standard 5/8” hose and garden accessories. The locking mechanism is smooth but solid, making it easy to quickly swap between sprinklers, spray nozzles, and other attachments without struggling. What really stands out is the durability. Other quick connects I’ve used tend to crack, leak, or wear out after a season or two, but these GARDENA fittings clearly use better materials and seem built to last much longer. Even after heavy use, they still connect and disconnect smoothly with no signs of wear. I’ll definitely be sticking with GARDENA for all my future garden hose setups. Highly recommended if you want something that actually holds up over time.

Typical great Gardena quality. Highly recommended with a great long five year guarantee.

These connectors work properly and are well constructed. They are relatively easy to install and use daily. There are no water leaks or drips to date, so I am well pleased with them. Time will tell, out in the hot sunshine, how they hold up throughout the summer.
