This coupler set was purchased to replace a much older set from another source. I’d always been happy enough with the older set, but once I get these - wow, what a difference! Very well made, heavy, excellent volume, very easy to connect. Well worth the money. Also arrived promptly, always a plus!
We purchased these after my husband grew tired with inexpensive quick-connects. These are larger than "cheap" ones and connect and disconnect without effort. Will buy more.
We live on the road in a RV. There are frequent changes in venues with water connections for freshwater and tank flushing. These connectors really speed up the setup. These don’t limit flow and don’t drip.
These are beautiful, high-flow couplers. This is my first year with them but the in-your-hand quality suggests they'll last many years. I'm writing this after bumping into some of my old "high quality" couplers in the garage this past weekend. Now that I'm used to the AM Leonard couplers the old ones made me laugh: at the flow restriction that made me toss them in a junk box. (They're now destined for metal recycling.) I frequently complain about the quality of products available these days but AML's couplers are top shelf.
Maybe I read the description wrong but I was under the impression that the flow of water would be stopped at the male end once disconnected fro the female end without having to turn off the supply valve, that's why I bought the pair. It does however serve it's purpose of not have to twist on/off the hose ends every time, just wish I didn't have to turn the valves off I have osteoarthritis in my wrists and it hurts to turn the handles, wish I could have avoided that like I thought.
