I agree. Was watching Shark Tank one night. The guy who invented
those got a deal on the tank. Wasn't long and they were on the
shelf @ Lowes. One of the better inventions this day and age.

How long has that program been on? I've been using fittings
compatible with those for 20 years.



I have been using Gardena snap fittings for decades. I don't know if
it is sold in the US, as it is an European product and has been sold
in Canada since the 1970s. They do wear out and have to be replaced
if left outdoors for years, but I have some that are 30 years old in
use.

I have the brass Nelson fittings, which pass a lot more water than the plastic
ones I've seen. I did have to find a place to order replacement seals for a few
of them once, but other than that they seem to last forever. They seem to be
perfectly compatible with the Gilmore ones listed by Norminn.
