Chapin 6-9479: Deluxe 1-Way Shutoff Hose Connection, Fits Standard Garden Hoses, Metal and Plastic Construction with Shut-Off Valves, Leak-Free, High Volume Water Flow for Landscaping and Outdoor Use

$11.37 - Chapin 6-9479: Deluxe 1-Way Shutoff Hose Connection, Fits Standard Garden Hoses, Metal and Plastic Construction with Shut-Off Valves, Leak-Free, High Volume Water Flow for Landscaping and Outdoor Use The shiny silver parts are plastic, not metal. The Red Handle is metal. This does keep the weight down. Feels durable enough and it is not leaking when turned the valve is closed. When you need a way to change out different heads or attachments, this is a good way to stop the water flow. But, for $11.37, a lower cost product would also likely have worked.

Works well. Made well compared to other brands. Most dont last more than a year, will have to see how long this one makes it. No leaks. Easy to hook up & use.

Screws easily on end of your hose. Flip switch 1 way and it stops flow of water. Flip it back and water flows smoothly.

✅ What I Loved: This little attachment ended up being more useful than I expected. It gave me better control over my water flow and noticeably improved my hose’s pressure. I use it more often than I thought I would — whether watering the garden, washing the car, or cleaning tools. ⚠️ What I Didn’t Love: Nothing major — it’s been solid so far. Just make sure you tighten it well to avoid any minor leaks. 💡 Tips & Tricks: Pair it with a sturdy nozzle for the best results. Works especially well if your hose has low or inconsistent pressure — this helped even it out for me. The handle feels solid and gives a good grip even with wet hands. 📊 Final Verdict: One of those “why didn’t I buy this sooner?” tools. If you want more control and better pressure, this is a simple but effective upgrade

Perfect as it moves back and forth easy with my old 80 year old hands

Works as expected. Lever is much easier to turn on/off than those typical small knob twist valves. So far no leaks.

Seems quality made. I was watering the lawn and switching various types of sprinklers. It was a pain to constantly walk around to the front of the house to turn water off, then go switch up the sprinkler, then back again to turn water on. This shut off valve was the simple easy to use solution. Yes, works great. I definitely recommend.

I bought this for my 25 gallon small trailer sprayer so that I can drain it without actually getting my hands wet from the chemicals mixed in. A positive shutoff that is easy to use and open up to drain without getting my hands wet. Great value.

It works and doesn’t leak

Pas complètement en métal comme mentionné. Le levier d'ouverture et fermeture est en plastique. C'est la première chose qui vas brisser si échappé ou usage intensif. Le reste est en métal recouvert de plastic dur. Le diamètre intérieur est de 3/8" , ce qui limite la quantité d'eau. En résumé, trop cher pour la qualité. On peut trouver mieux pour 1/3 du prix ailleurs.
