Camco Water Bandit - Features a Highly Flexible Silicone-Polymer Sleeve & ABS Male Water Hose Connection - Works with Damaged or Stripped Faucet Threads or Faucets without Threads (22484)

Used this for an attachment from an rv hose to my shower to fill a birth tub for my home birth. It worked very well and could see it being used in other ways since it’s not just one attachment.

This is my second order. I'm much happier with my second order and it works. I was very happy with this new "model." It had a different grey instead of gold screw on base. I hooked it up to the faucet and didn't need a clamp and nothing burst. This hose adapter is very easy to use. You just screw it on the end of the hose and slip the "sleeve" over your faucet spout. Do NOT turn the water on high. You'll want a slower flow. This isn't great for car washes, but I use it to fill up the RV tank from my kitchen or bathroom faucet and it works for that. This is a useful product and it's handy to have around if you have a camper. (I had one before and like other people experienced, it exploded and cracked. I was able to use a small ring clamp to wear it out to the end and still use it until I lost it. It did help me use a hose on my wonky faucet with an abnormal spout. I haven't had any problems with the most recent one I ordered.)

I bought this for the same reason as one of the previous reviewers, to attach a short outdoor hose to my deep sink faucet so I can wash my dog with warm water outside. That reviewer was basically happy with how it functioned, but I'm not personally . The item itself seems well made and useful, but it constantly pops off the deep sink faucet once the water is on. You have to keep the water at barely over a trickle, or.the pressure blam it off, forcing you to go replace it in the middle of washing the dog. I've made great effort to seat the sleeve deeply, and be super conscious that there's no restriction to flow -- for example, using the spray head was quickly out of the question. So when it's actually working, I just have a very tiny stream of water, no spray head, and certainly no pressure. It does function, so that's better than nothing, but only barely. A side note -- the categories for stars are "Durability", "Lightweight" and "Value for Money". They have little to do with the actual ability to use the thing. I only responded to "Value for Money" and gave it two stars. Revised: It's now a month later, and after 1x daily use, it's not working at all. Just pops off immediately, even with all above tricks used. Now one star, would be zero if possible.

Very helpful but sometimes doesn’t fully seal (beware of spraying: you may need a tight grip to prevent spraying).

High quality item. Must have if you own an RV.

This product is fine if you use it EXACTLY as the instructions indicate. But it's a pain in the rear to do so. Do NOT add a hose clamp to this to hold it on the faucet and apply water pressure by having your hose end not open! IT WILL RIP OPEN and spray water all over the room!!! Don't ask me how I know.... If you're OK with walking back and forth to the faucet to turn it on and off every 5 seconds then great but if you need to stop water flow at the hose end this will shoot off the faucet, dropping it to the floor and causing a mess. THAT'S what caused me to put a hose clamp on it at the faucet. Then I turned on the water, walked to the end of the hose where the water was coming out, shut off the water with the hose nozzle an BLAMMO, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! The boot split and was shooting water in countless directions and making a huge mess! No matter what Ibdid with this, it caused me to clean up water every flipping time! Wish I never bought this! I basically hate this thing. It's useless for what I needed and I bought something else that screws onto any faucet and let's me turn on the water and then operate the hose end nozzle on and off as needed like using a regular hose. This thing has a very narrow use case scenario list....of which, nothing normal people do with a hose is on it.

Great for emergency use. Must have for one of my companies that travels and uses various spigots a day. Not a long term solution and definitely don’t want go overboard w screwing on and off because the threads are made of plastic but it’s a great tool when needed.

What a convenient wait to fill a water jug in so many public bathrooms. So many parks do not have water faucets anymore to try to curb water waste (and cost) but with the Water Bandit I can easily get some water to refill my tanks in all places. Before plugging the Water Bandit I thoroughly sanitize the faucet to which I will connect it. I have a 4ft long hose and I can fill my water carrier. The flexible plastic allows for a great fit with all the faucets I encountered so far. I do recommend this to anyone who needs to fill water containers in odd places
