got one of em from there the other day, so yes
does'nt leak , put it on the outlet from pump to reel, I always wrap a couple of layers of plumbers tape around the male connectors anyhow just to be certain but its holding up and seems on a par with the gardena ones.

I got 2 today from B&Q and they are better than the old 1`s,i`ve now found out that it`s the brass swivel connector on the hosereel that`s leaking not the hozelock fitting.The new part on it that twists onto the hose is better and provides a better more secure fit.

Those swivels can be taken apart with a largeish allen key under the rubber washer, tried most things to cure the leak but ended up buying a new one :(

Interesting, that hoselock connector is giving me a hard time, I'm using the "ionics" hoselock connectors, and I find they just do not grip the hose properly.

I also found that to but these new 1`s grip the hose far far better and that`s the reason they don`t leak like the others.

I gave up on hoselock fittings a long time ago as i got fed up with the leak.

I may give these one's a try as i like to be able to get my bits local in case of emergencies

It`s always better if the diameter of the hose is slightly thicker than normal ie clear braided 1/2,the hoselock hose is thinner and dosen`t get gripped as well.

You wont find any hoselock hose on my system, ive just totally rehose my whole van system and my static with the thick yellow, red and blue hose, not one leak.
