Marilyn, I got some Gardena brand quick connectors eons ago & they haven't broken yet! It's been at least 15 years. They're a little pricey but WELL worth it.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
