Double Lock fittings have two stainless drive keys that drive the rods and stainless buttons that lock the rods together. The keys and keyways of the male & female do the driving, giving the locking mechanism a longer life in just securing the rods together and not driving the rotation of the rods.

All our rods with Double Lock connections can connect to each other and the same goes with the brush heads and attachments, no need to buy a brush head for each rod diameter just use a head on a 16mm or 14mm or 12mm rods, or even mix and match your rods to suit 14mm with a 12mm leader.
