Cheap junk as you'd expect from Sh*tpart
Terrible - made by Britpart, the metal backplate rusts within days (no exaggeration), and the plastic lens is extremely brittle and cracks with the slightest pressure. Not fit for purpose - buy from a reputable brand instead, you'll be glad you did!

100% genuine rubbish
The quality of this product is absolutely atrocious. Worst of throw-away design. The box says 'body of steel' - that is genuinely an outright lie. The poles, which are the only metal bit in the whole thing, are made of some cheap rubbish metal (not steel it'd weigh about 3 times as much), and don't stay in the slots - having loaded it with 20m of hose (there's no way it takes 60m of any decent hose), the one that acts as a handle just fell out on lifting it, and it fell and immediately the hose end 'park' (where you stick the end of the hose on to stop it flailing about) just snapped off. Honestly, total junk without a redeeming quality in it. Apparently made by Park Land, will have to remember to avoid any shop that sells their junk in future...

Complete kit, slightly rough around the edges, but does the job with a bit of fiddling!
This is a Britpart kit. The tabs are held onto the ends of the barrels with machine screws and washers rather than the tiny pins across the barrel that the OEM ones came with, but this seems like a better design anyway so a good thing. LOTS of keys - since they're all the same, probably don't actually need 6 of them but who's complaining.
Fit and finish aren't perfect (as you'd probably expect from Britpart) - the tabs needed the slots filing out a smidge to fit over the end of the barrels, and one didn't quite fit into the door - too much to persuade in with a mallet - so that had to be filed out a tiny bit as well. This might be difficult if you haven't got a fine manual file or Dremel with suitable bit, as the shape is odd.
And the threads were a bit ropy on the locking rings / outer barrels, but being VERY careful not to cross-thread them worked in the end.
Be sure to grease the locks thoroughly before you put them in, esp if you end up tapping the tabs on with a mallet to get them to fit! And a good wack of WD40 or similar to get the keys to work well.
Marked it down as 'good quality' and 'recommended' because it's a yes/no question - they'd have got about 3/5 for quality and 4/5 for recommend, just because (as long as you have the tools to tweak them) they do work in the end! Now they're in, they do move well - we'll see how well they stand up to the soggy British weather for a year or two!
