More compact in size and more durable without leaks. Mike

Very solid.

Hoselock fittings are designed to have a little 'give' in them so as not to put strain on the plastic. For the most part they are okay but can wear quickly.

EZ Snap fittings are smaller but stronger, altogether a more secure and reliable fit.

If you want to change your hozelock fittings get the pro 26 instead, that last slot longer than the the ez snap fittings

The last lot of EZ snaps I got from Gardiners have been very good.

I bought some from an pneumatics supplier with were cheaper nut they didn't last at all. Gardiners last lot had the Schraeder name on them, wheras the other's didn't.
Schraeder product was the name in the pneumatics industry 40 years ago in my experience.
