are the nuts steel? The nut on the hose it came with was plastic and split with use.

Yes, they are steel. The hose is unbelievable-best hose ever! It is VERY flexible. It's made like no other hose I have ever seen. We LOVE it and have never had a moment of trouble with it.

The answer os do not buy. My kids use it less then 1 month and destroy it and put it in the recycle bin.

This hose may have changed since I bought mine years ago. It burst after 45 days of use and the company refused help since they only honor a 30 day warrantee. Knowing that, I would send it back immediately for a full refund.

The end of the hose that attaches to it is metal but the connection on the unit itself is plastic like everything else. I have had mine a little over two yearsand the plastic reel inside the unit has deteriorated and broken just from thestress of winding the hose on it. I had originally given it a two star rating butnow I would change to one star.

Yes...but to be sure that I didn't have any issues, I replaced the plastic wing nuts with metal nuts that I got on Amazon.

It is plastic. the hose is metal. Still working well for me, and looks almost like new! (only because I have hard water, so there are some spots)

steel....no plastic parts. My very picky husband who will only use good equipment. No "junk". He was well pleased.

Yes. My old blender had a heavy plastic nut. As the gasket started leaking, I would put the jar on the base and use the ridges in the base to tighten it very tightly. Never cracked. When I finally got around to getting a new blender, the plastic nut was made from a very different plastic and much ligher weight. It cracked while just hand-tightening it.

The connection to the faucet is metal and the connection on the left side I the box is plastic. What you connect your hose to is plastic also

Not per se. They do usually come with the nut and bolt. I believe it is zinc plated but not sure.

The tubing (white) is metal. The joints and supports (blue) are plastic. The plastic parts have held up very well for me over the past 1.5 years. I can't say if they would become brittle in the sun though.

The bolts are metal, but the nuts they screw into appear to be plastic. But I would not let this deter you if you like the crate. You can get similar style metal replacement nuts at any hardware store (very inexpensive), like Home Depot, etc. The crate is a great buy and worth a trip to the hardware store. Zinc plated steel wing nuts at Home Depot are $1.20 or less for a four-pack.

It has metal hose ends. We are happy with this hose, seems to leak less then others we've had.

The bolt goes through the rollers so the rollers aren't solid. There doesn't appear to be any plastic on the ends. All metal.

Comes w/hose, It is metal, but has just started to leak, not from main connection point, but from hose joint. Only had installed a few months and now a leak.

Yes, not metal, but works fine. But don't buy any other connectors, for example "People who bought this also bought..." and they show you a brass hose connector, I bought it, it didn't fit, my bad, so I have another connector in my plumbing tool kit!!

The plastic nuts hold good. Almost every new faucet comes with them. I have never had a customer complaint.

The connection of wand to hose is metal, and the wand itself is aluminum. The nozzle (where the water comes out) is plastic, but not sure why that would break except for damage caused by impact (ie. if the wand were dropped on its nozzle).

Hi, the nuts unscrew from the hose, some to the left some to the right, the hose will slide on or off the end of the swivel after the nut is backed off. Be sure to push the hose up a far as possible when reattaching the nut to help reduce leaks, mine always leak a little though.
