Pretty much as above plus a cigarette lighter. I don't smoke but it can be useful for softening hose. Probably counts as a hoselock connector but I always have one or two spares of the male connector on the side of the hosereel.

Duct tape? Just to clarify to Dazmond, I'm talking about the super strong silver plastic tape. The brand I have is called DUCK tape. Even got little pictures of ducks on it ;D Is DUCT tape the same?
