It seems very good value for the money but there is quite a lot of plastic going on. So far no problems and I am hoping it will last cause it is quite smooth and fairly sturdy.

Post by: dave0123 on November 30, 2012, 10:57:02 am: I have a leak on the inside of the spindle and on the outside of the spindle too i think near where u connect hose from the pump.

However its not the above real am using its a cheap Hoselock one i was just wondering what's peoples reviews on the above as it looks light which i need but good quality that's not going to leave in a week or two.
