Yep use them all day every day bar high stuff. Great on domestics.

Make hole in bottom, hole up top for hose. Then melt the plastic over a candle and screw in angle adaptor and make a thread on it...done, simple and for £15

No i made it up, lol. Course it works and works a dam site better than the bentley thread. Trust me ;)

Get it hot and twist the angle adaptor or brush onto it, it re threads it. So simple and quick

The clamps will wear pretty quickly but most of us just wrap ptfe tape or a strip of plastic cola bottle around the inside and it will hold well. I prefer the tape myself. I have one over 3 years old and until recently was used ever working day.
