I bought one of these to replace a not much cheaper plastic one that had broken. The Melnor valve has good quality casting, does not leak, can take a drag across the yard and is easy to operate. What more could you want? You won't ever need to buy another unless you let it freeze and split!

This product doesn't look like what the picture shows. It looks exactly the same as this other connector -- Orbit 58248 Brass Garden Hose Y Connector With Shut-Off Valves. [...]. I thought that I was getting a connector with brass valves, but they're actually plastic. And, the coupling nut is not entirely brass, either; it's also covered by plastic.

The item that I received is not the SOLID BRASS bodied item as pictured. I got a brass colored zinc alloy bodied wye with SOLID BRASS male threads and a SOLID BRASS plastic covered female end. Valves have plastic covered metal handles. Quality is good but not as good as pictured. Zinc alloy has a tendency to corrode in some environments. Not bad for the money, but I was deceived. When I sent an email to the seller about my concerns, I got NO response. I think they know what they are doing, as picture has not changed to actual item.
