Review on STYDDI Brass Garden Hose Repair Kit With Clamps - Male And Female Hose Connectors For 5/8" And 3/4" Rubber Hoses - 4 Piece Set by Timothy Schroeder

The fittings themselves look fine but when I installed one of the 1/2 males on a hose I was repairing, I was not able to tighten the hose clamp as much as I generally do, since it kept slipping/stripping out. I was a design engineer for 4 years and we used stainless steel hose clamps often. I don't remember ever having this happen, even when I tightened them far tighter than I did with this hose clamp. Of course the ones we used were made in the U.S. or were made in Japan to much higher specifications than these must be. The price is still good for the brass fittings so I will just buy some higher quality hose claps. I have not tried them all so maybe some are not this bad
