Quality products

these are made from brass for reasons of durability and compatibility, that hasn’t changed. prefer over aluminum made to look like brass

Good quality

What can you say about a hose end? This one is solid machined brass, not a brass plated zinc or aluminum casting. It is heavy for its size. It fits a 3/4" hose perfectly, tapping into place with a leather mallet. No utility knife carving required. The hose clamps have pros and cons. The band is, indeed, stainless steel. The tightening mechanism, however, is not. It is highly magnetic. Whether this will be a longer term issue is TBD. I tightened the clamp with a 9/32" socket, let it "age" for a day or two, and then re-tightened. Zero leaks. These ends are very good quality at a reasonable price, and come very well packaged in a bubble wrap pouch. I recommend them.
