I wanted to show you a little trick. A lot of guys come in looking for a connector for their 3/8" hose. Most of the time before we found this product we suggested a reducer, from 1/2" to 3/8". But now there is a 1/2" to 3/8" plug, that will screw right into your hose reel, and then you put the coupler on the hose. And you just hook it up, and you are ready to go. No big deal. When you start adding those additional pieces it starts to leak, and it gets expensive.
