can fit in the hose about, say, 2m from the brush or spray.

Why not simply bend the hose a few inches from the bayonet connector to stop
the flow of water and then change the fitting and then release it once done?

That's what I've been doing successfully for more years than I can remember
on a 60 metre hose.

Ooh, messy!

I'd rather have a tap.

Only if you don't crimp the hose 'till the water stops flowing before you
change the fitting - and I've never got wet (yet). :-)
