<p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: small;">I have a bunch of water hose quick-connect fittings, maybe two different brands, all are the metal versions. Similar to these:</span></p>

<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">They are useful, but not really "quick", and often stuck or unable to connect smoothly, etc. </div>
<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">Home Depot has Orbit and Ryobi brands, plus some plastic ones.</div>
<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">Any suggestions about a premium brand that works better? I've tried the plastic ones, they work too but I'm an expert at breaking them. Are there more robust plastic opinions? I recall that the plastic ones seemed to be easier to attach/remove.</div>
<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">I see a "Gorilla" brand that appears to include an o-ring - looks like a good idea, anyone used these? </div>
<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">Lowe's has options also, including the Kobalt brand that also has the o-ring. </div>

<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">I use my water hoses a LOT, having a convenient way to quickly connect my various devices is a big plus at my house. </div>
<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">Please let us know if you've found a best brand !</div>
