Simply the best!
The Dramm brass shut off valve is simply the best! It is easy to use. The handle is much longer than others, making it much easier to turn.

Beware: It is $4 cheaper elsewhere, so I recommend doing a little surfing to find a better price elsewhere on the internet.

The answer to your hose hookup problems
This is JUST what I needed. I do not have an outdoor spicket for my hose, so I have to run it thru the basement window and outside. Therefore, whenever I want to change the nozzle, use a soaker hose, etc., I have to make a bunch of trips back and forth, up and down the basement steps just to change it. This shut off valve is the best. Just put it on your hose and hook up whatever you want to, whenever you want to. It’s the best invention for my kind of hose hookup issue. Works really well and is made nice and durable. I am pleased.

Worth the premium price
Yeah this is pretty expensive for a shut off valve, but after being irritated by crappy Gilmour ones that last a year I was willing to pay up. I bought a Gilmour shutoff valve from Lowes and paid about $10 for it. I got the upgraded “metal” large flow model because “hey metal will last!”. After 2 months it failed to shut the water off completely when I would turn it. After dealing with it for months I finally decided to take it apart and discovered that despite being advertised as “Metal!” the most important parts are all plastic. The valve and more incredibly the interior parts that turn the valve were plastic and of course had cracked. This explained why the valve no longer closed. As I learned with hose reels, it pays in the long run to buy the good stuff. So I bought this Dramm, and wow. It’s a solid hunk of brass that I’m certain will last. The handle is really easy to turn and the valve is large enough that it doesn’t restrict flow. It’s made in the USA, which is nice and rare to see. There is nothing more irritating than your tools failing you when you need them the most, so sometimes you have to pay for the premium stuff.
