Review on πŸ’§ Swivel Aerator Faucet Adapter Kit for Garden Hose - Multi-Thread Male to Male & Female to Male Connector - Chrome Finished by Brian Summers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Warning: mine was a horrible, pitted, jagged and sharp instrument of wetness and pain.

I really can't say enough bad things about this thing I guess. It seemed easy enough. I needed an adapter that would connect a three foot length of flexible hose so I could flush things in my sink. Badly chosen. Design and everything looked great at first glance. Then I connected it. Leaks at both connections. There was no way I could tighten it enough to stop the leaks. I've tried thicker washers on the joints. Not good. To make matters worse, the part of the nozzle that attached to the faucet had razor-sharp machining residue. As I tried to tighten it, he cut my fingers with razor-sharp precision. The cuts were painful and insidiously clean, deep enough to fear infection. I bled everywhere. I didn't want to use a pipe wrench to tighten the connections for fear of ruining the faucet. In any case, such an adapter does not require a wrench. The articulation was so loose that the whole contraption dangled. I was hoping it would be something that could be rotated at a certain angle and stay there. nope abominable. I tried to make it work but ended up with new cuts on the other side of my arm. Thank god my immune system is strong. Luckily, browsing the site led me to a better option (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HCNNM4N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). While it doesn't rotate and was more expensive, it has an aerator so you can leave it in place if you wish (the aerator is removable too) and installs easily with many male or female thread options. No leaks! Yay.Bittle, in my opinion, you can do better when looking for an adapter. And you don't need band aids.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Exchange availability
