Hi all, my plastic hozelock to 6mm connector is leaking AGAIN..!!!  every 2 months I need to fork out a fiver for a new one which is actually a waste of money.

Is there a metal one anywhere I could buy or do I need to change to another connector type.

One of the reasons why hozelok couplings leak is because of a damaged o ring on the male connector.
