Rang gardiners today as I've went through 3 claber hoselock fittings this week that I use to attach my 8mm reel hose to my pole the inside white bit with the 4 pegs keeps snapping and considering there £10 a time and now carnt work till I get a new one. They recommended using metal ones they sell. What do you guys use? On my pole hose end I use one of gardiner easy snap hoselock so need a hoselock fitting?

 
Thats what she's recommended. I've just ordered 2 I'm just annoyed as spent loads on claber fittings and the keep snapping. There perfect if only they used a stronger plactic inside

 
Don't get me wrong the claber are awesome just wish they would use a harder plastic as they are spot on. I've ordered the wrong thing from gardiner so will call tomorrow to cancel and I'll order the Ez snap instead

 
Your problem is there aqua stop females I had it all the time there shite I just get the none aqua stop bits they don't have that white plastic inside mate.

 
This is what I use I have had this tap since October 2015 it my main hose in yellow then pole hose this is an old pic , Rectus fittings etc will always fail this little set up has never failed .

As for the Claber fittings never had a issue to be honest I have 2 on my hose reel and they last around 6 months but I have been considering changing recently .

Jg pushfit is the simplest way and happens to be cheapest..I've seen 10 for about 6 quid on ebay and each will last me well over 6 months

Light as a feather also

I had an issue with the backpack hose that the hole was too big for the 6mm barb so i turned it round and put the smooth 8mm end in the hose and clamped it tight..then 2" of pole hose and another 6mm barb the right way round..this makes it fit the jg fitting

That can push straight into your flow controller as i see that is 8mm pushfit in the pics so no need even for the 8mm to 8mm fitting either

 
Anyone know for sure the ID of Brodex black pole hose I am guessing its 6mm , I use from my pump box to hose reel then also the short piece of hose to connect to hose reel elbow I want to be certain before ordering some of the fittings daveyboy recommended .
