Hose quick connects

For years I just screwed in hose couplers when I need to connect to faucets or sprinklers.  It all changed when I purchased a Cub Cadet ZTS1 mower with a mower deck washer.  The connection on the mower was a quick connect and easy to use.   Next thing I knew I am using them to connect stiff hoses for irrigation and it went from there.  

Thought and Hacks

1. The connects will come loose if hose is twisted or pulled to hard.

2. Listen for a hard click to insure the connect is properly attached.
