re: Stupid hose reel. Why is the connection male?

Well, another trip to Lowe’s/HD the store to find the right fitting/adapters to make it work - they’ll have them, but I’ve never seen a watering hose with 2 female ends - now that I think about I have and it’s those braised steel washing machine hoses with 2 female ends - had to use one of those for a outside water connection for the automatic pool filler (or whatever it’s called), but they don’t make those in the diameter you need to get your max water flow for a garden hose - but maybe they do?
