We had eight of these Gilmore plastic hose end caps; five of them have leaked after being in use for a year or two. I ordered four brass ones to replace them.Nothing will keep hose end parts from splitting and leaking if you leave water in a hose outdoors in freezing weather, but we only did that once... with a grimy old (but good) 3/4" garden hose; a ferrule split. The hose doesn't even need to be full of water; on a reel with the couplings at the bottom filled with water is all it takes.
We bought the Gilmore plastic hose end caps to replace a leaking cap on a dehumidifier. That only lasted a year so I replaced it with a brass one that I had on hand. Perhaps if you only tighten the caps gently they will not split, but having a drip irrigation system squirting water in all directions in the sunny end of the garage where we 'winter' our plants makes a mess. We'll use brass from now on. I'll use these to keep insects out of faucets and hoses when not in use.
