The one I have been using has plastic parts and has been leaking. This is brass inside and rubber outside, so it should last forever. I put it on the wand I ordered and changed the nozzle for a softer flow and now Fall is here and it is time to store it. I got to use it twice before the fall rains started here in the Great PNW.
Best hose valve I ever used, you can attach anything. Repeat purchases of theses .
It works as designed and easily shuts the water off. It also has a comfortable handle.
Great. Works good.
