get the swivel ones like an elbow, the other break far to easy, I guess they are not made for this type of job. they are about £7 each but worth every penny

Wrap some ptfe tape around the thread on the spindle and tighten the elbow up as much as you can.

There's an "O" ring on the shaft that you can't see unless you take the swivel appart. This wears and then it starts to leak. The "O" ring is not the same size as the hoselock ones ............ perhaps someone from Gardiners might know where spares can be brought from.
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.
