UCLEVER 100PCs Drip Irrigation Barbed Connetor Coupling Fittings for 4mm/7mm Tube Drip Irrigation Watering System

I bought Mister Landscaper 1/4" irrigation tubing from Lowes and forgot to get some stakes so I bought these on Amazon after searching for 1/4" irrigation stakes. Unfortunately, these stakes are designed to fit 1/4" OD tubing so they ended up being very tight on my Mister Landscraper 1/4" irrigation tubing which has an OD of 0.295." They are also fairly flimsy as well. I ended up buying Mister Landscaper support stakes from Lowes and while more expensive (10 for $5.31), they actually fit my hose and are of far better quality than these. Don't be deceived thinking that these will fit your 1/4" irrigation tubing since chances are the OD is more than 0.25."

Stake portion is weak & bends easily. Even into freshly tilled soil. But here's the greatest MYSTERY: somehow it's VERY DIFFICULT to attach 1/4 tubing and then crazy hard to remove the tubing when the stake has failed! One of life's great mysteries. They are really only good for gently holding an emitter above ground level right next to the root ball. But if your soil ain't "butta forget about it" I'm going back to metal stakes.

They made a mistake in making these as they are nearly impossible to get into a 1/4 inch tube. Of course if you work hard at it, you can eventually get them to fit in brand new tubes (but I always find it hurts my hands) but if the tube has been outside in the weather, it is impossible to use these connectors. It can help to put the ends of the tube into very hot water. But why buy these when other connectors are the right size?

These might work ok if you are running tubing in the ground, but they aren't long enough to work well to hold tubing in potted plants. They need to be about an inch longer to really work for potted plants.

Nice and cheap. For those other reviews claiming they are weak and flimsy I would dare to bet they are trying to smash it into totally dry and packed soil. These slid in easily through mulch, and even the clay I have in some of my flower beds.

I always try to get the soft and flexible 1/4 inch drip hose. I ordered this UCLEVER drip hose because the brand I ordered last time was not available. I will not continue using this and will throw the rest out because it has now come loose from the emitters / fittings in three locations where I've connected them. This has never happened with hose from other makers. I am now compelled to order more hose from a different brand and redo all the locations where I used this UCLEVER hose. It's nice and liable, but just a little too pliable to hold a connection.

Super easy to use and exactly as described! I find this 1/4" tubing to be way more malleable than the stuff I buy at the local big box hardware store for two to three times the price! I've bought two rolls so far bcuz that's how easy it is for this 50+ y.o. Nana to use! Great quality...holding up well in my garden!

They worked just fine, but aren't as thick as the ones that came with my drip system. No worries; at this price you can put 2 side by side and still get sturdy support for less than buying the name brand stakes.

These are so fat that I find it impossible to push my microbore tubing onto them properly, even after softening them with boiling water. Useless

They are too big for 4mm pipe. I had to buy other elsewhere in order to connect my 4mm pipe

These arrived in plenty of time and will hold my new droppers in place very well.

Great value fits 4mm ID pipe.

For the money this was both a lot of stuff and very well made. Great product.
