Can I order this set with a metal connector instead of a plastic one?

I just looked it up on their site. The metal connector is 4050, not 4001. 4001 is the plastic one with chrome finish.

The company sells a metal connector separately on their site. It's item 4001.

I doubt it, the plastic connection piece has some sort of on/off switch when connected to the hose. This seems to be product specific. However we have had this for a while now, and have had NO issues with it.

Top 1/2 of connector is metal, the bottom 1/2 that fits around the stand is really thick heavy duty plastic... However I thought too that it was metal and had to take a magnet to it to see. This one isn't going to break on you though.

yes, but I would not buy them from Amazon as they are not the connectors that are pictured and may be difficult to find a replacement if needed

Yes. I have however heard that the plastic connectors have a tendency to break. If your going to use these make sure it's hooked up outside the tank so you can replace it easily

Yes, but know that the metal key is imbedded into the plastic. If your just looking for a screw might be cheaper to go to the local hardware store.

No--you have to use the plastic ones that you order. This toy has been a real hit with our grandsons.

No I bought it separately. (It was still cheaper than many other sets). Go on manufacturers website there are a few that will fit & amazon carries them! :-)

I have only received the plastic ones. I would return them if they were metal. I have purchased them twice from amazon and they are plastic

The metal part of the connector is exactly the same as the apple connector, but the plastic portion is much larger almost 2X that of the apple connector. Thus, I would say no...

No Ma'am, there aren't. Matching them shouldn't be too hard though. I would just do a search in china and at the very least- this set has enough colors to choose a solid to go with. Good luck!

It doesn't look like that is an option. The screwdrivers were designed by Underground Toys. You could perhaps contact them about it at http://www.underground-toys.com

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

Mine broke pretty quickly - it was the main reason I gave this set a bad review. The connector piece is very poorly made.

Yes! I think because the connections are plastic none of them will last very long. Mine lasted 3 weeks.

I agree with kend, don't buy these unless you buy their crimper. Well worth it in my opinion (even with the extra cost of these connectors).

I would agree. They are 1 CM. I haven't used the adapter yet but it is a good idea to get the metal fitting.
