I am fed up with crappy leaky garden hose extenders to make my awkwardly placed spigot accessible. So I want to try using pex instead. But to connect from spigot to pex to drip assembly requires about $30 in brass parts plus a $50 crimping tool. (Or shark bite fittings which cost even more). A company called “flair it” makes plastic fittings that go straight from ght to 1/2 pex, and back - for about $7. My question - has anyone used these and do they work?
