“Hi.The reason that I bought the adaptor is that the two Hoselink ones that I have had haven't lasted.They were ok for awhile but then the entire head started turning on one when I was trying to adjust the spray. I tried a fix but it didn’t last. There are a lot of junk sprays on the market but I have found that the Gardena brand generally last well. Hope this helps.Regards,Ps the adaptor works well and isn’t leaking.Adrian”
