Totally crap used for 2 weeks and the lever which sits inside the valve body came out today totally knackered previous ones have lasted months .

They were much better built previously , Bought a better quality one from Window Cleaning Warehouse tonight so hopefully should last a lot longer .

The Pro 026 range are better value for money in my opinion.

Were do you buy those andy  I don't use the rectus fittings at all  I simply unscrew those and replace with 1/4" threaded  barbed ends .

Sorry to hear you've had an issue - not sure if you've contacted us directly about it already but if not please drop me a line with a photo of the problem to alex@agardiner.co.uk and I can get a replacement sorted for you.  For one to break this quickly means it had to be defective.

Cheers I see what you mean now no good to me as i dont like using Rectus fittings  at all .

Genuine Rectus fittings are fine. Ive said it before and ill say it again, Gardiner ones do not last!

Pro 026 for me too these days - don't seem to pull apart on snags and are a lot more robust.
