i have started useing them with 8mil hose, they only have 6mil but what you do is cut about an inch of pole hose off and fit it over the 6 mil tail, then put your micro bore over the tail with the pole hos eon it and juballi clip it nice an tight
Great idea mate, I accidentally bought the 6mm the other day, was looking to order an 8 mil but I just tried your idea and its fitted on lovely, no leaks  :)

It was actually a Gardiner EZ snap I got the wrong size of, but tried Michaels idea and it worked

seriously though everyone should use the plastic connectors, simply put there is no better, they out last any on the market as well"!  light easy to click together and don't ever leak or come apart (unless you stand on it)

Mine only came apart when I stood on them (no protecta ball). I got a bit fed up with this so reverted back to ez snap fittings and protecta ball. Now protecta ball gets caught on everything so I shall swap back again to the plastic fittings. I'm using an aquadapter now so hopefully less likely to tread on them.

i have never broken one yet, they last a lot longer than rectus which is surprising because the dont look like they will do they, must be some hard wearing old plastic they are using
