The problem I had with a brass fitting one was the part where the
hose pushes onto is too short, it still had the plastic
compression bit which bites on the hose and the screw was brass so
at least you could over tighten the brass thread without worrying
about cross threading, unlike the plastic variety.

Another alternative to Hozelock is Gardena whose fittings are
supposed to be compatible.

Didn't one buy t'other a few years back?

I did, but can't remember where from.
