I bought a quick-disconnect from Home Depot, to connect a garden hose to
a kitchen faucet. (I can't find the exact model on their webpage)
It leaks like crazy. Is that normal?
Maybe 10% of the water when a lot is flowing, a higher percentabge when
the faucet isn't on much.
The connector seems to be in good condition, nothing missing or broken.
Is there a better quality connector that doesn't leak?
One one occasion, when I had the end of the hose closed or almost closed,
the hose along with its half of the connector came spurting off.
Is there a better quality connector that doesn't do that?



Something like this ?

Leaking from the threaded-on connection ? or
leaking from the snap-together connection ? both ?

I've got several of them and while easily swapping nozzles, sprinklers
is convenient- they do leak.

And mine do so from both the connection and the threads which like to
back out from being hand-tight. Leaking from the connection happens if
you apply lateral force to it. Sometimes crud gets into the connection
and makes leaking worse.
