Title: Anyone got these?

I gotta say,they're great. From your local hardware shop.£6 but i reckon they'll go on forever. Yes, they're for the pole hose. I've tried others but these really do rock.

10 mm bud. But you do need sleeve inserts to fit in them. Gardiners do them. I really don't know if you can get them anywhere else. I think without the inserts,you're screwed. Maybe someone can enlighten me on that. But they really are built to last. I guess they were originally gas taps. I came across them buy luck really. Glad i did :)
