In addition to the normal docking function, this coupling is particularly well for the winter storage of hoses with "Gardena hose pieces" at both ends of a true blessing. It allows one to to empty the hoses not quite by, you have most of the water as far away, the two hose ends easy to put through the clutch and thus let the hose drip-free winter in garage, shed, basement or storage.
+ First-class quality, and the rubber - at least ours, are now about 10 years old; can only hope that the new are of equal quality! + Good engagement + Drip-free connection
