Xiny Tool Brass Garden Hose Shut Off Valve, 2 Pack Heavy Duty 3/4 Inch Solid Brass Garden Hose Shut Off Valve with 10 Extra Rubber Washers

Spent the summer with wet shoes, and frequent sprays to my face, wrasslin with a naughty garden hose, that always fought back when I tried to change sprinklers or sprayers without shutting off the water, by kinking the hose like any alpha male would.Whilst contemplating where I went wrong in life and waiting for my shoes to dry, I remembered I use to use a a shutoff valve on the end of the hose for this sort of thing, Problems was it was pot metal and plastic and the thing broke after 1 season. A quick look around in the old Amazon warehouse and I found this Brass Behemoth, solid, reasonably priced, mostly metal and with extra rubber washers. What was not to like? A quick trip to the grocery store to return all my empty beer bottles and I had enough coin of the realm, to purchase these and a corn dog.Well the corn dog was average, but hit the spot. The brass shutoffs, though were spectacular, my shoes are dry, the hose knows who's boss and I'm sitting pretty with all my yard watered where it needs to be.Life is good...maybe it could improve yours too?

When I first installed one of these, there were no drips. A few months later, a slow drip developed. Since it is dripping in a water pail, I am not real concerned.

Not garbage. Beefy. Cheaper than ones at HD. Same quality

Brass

Works great
