"Hozelock pro is a vast improvement on the normal range. "
"All looks very nice to me Dan, great mower too! Just be careful though because it has been said in this discussion that a sign written van only 'gives the impression that you're professional'. Too many 'tradesmen' fall into that category:)"
"I rate claber stuff, seems a tighter fit but maybe that’s subjective......."
"Metal hozelocks/gardena premium are good. Having enough female connectors so you never have to take them off of the hose is even better."
"well i never made it to the dealers, but my lawnflite mowers on ebay and im about to order a rm 655 rs, looking forwards to the upgrade!"
"Thanks Graham , Yes i put it down to the the above , I find even new connectors dont seem to last very long , even the brass ones seem to leak after a short while . I cut the hose pipe like you mention but just wish the connectors had a better grip…"
"I've always found Hozelock pretty good.................... I've invariably found the water leaks drips are either caused by a worn/compresed O ring or else the hose end has stretched where it pushes onto the "spigot" in the connector...... just…"
"I like to focus on keeping tools sharp and lubricated but my main focus which merges into what Dan mentions is what tools are really necessary to have on board , i try and look after tools so it does away with the necessity to carry a spare in case…"
"The ones often mentioned are: Basecamp, Trello and Slack."
Any recommendations for the best brand of tap and hose pipe connections which do not leak or drip when in use , I currently find hozelock the most efficient but even they are not 100% water tight . many thanks .
"All I'm saying is people run business differently and shouldn't be put down by Gary because they don't clean tools as often as he.
Here's my van. It's not been washed since December. Does it strike you as the van of someone who doesn't take pride in…"

"Why is a business that does things different to you guilty of "just don't get it", "poor at time management " and the wrong "personal attitude"?
The respectful way to discuss this would have been "this is what I do, how about you", rather than "thi…"

"I find it quite telling how defensive about not cleaning tools some of you are. To the point of being really childish. For example;
Tools and van are clean therefore you are only giving the impression of being professional. You can't be doing a grea…"

"I take great pride in my work and have a fantastic image. It doesn't mean my felcos are shiny... You could increase the efficiency of your business by adding a couple of more jobs each week instead of doing unnecessary cleaning... try it :) "
