Was looking for a Hose Shut off adapter for my garden hose and found these in the Surplus section at Princess Auto (Markham) - end aisle near the washrooms.
Good things about this shut off

There's only one review on the site...no reason given for the 1 star. Says LIFETIME WARRANTY for what it's worth.
I find that these connectors can be restrictive because they have a small inner diameter. I think the only quick connector that isn't restrictive is by Eley. Expensive, no water stop, and not available in Canada.

You can get full port quick connects at Lowes, but I'm not particularly fond of the quality and feel of them. I use a set of these for the pressure washer.

Yes...if you want to change nozzles perhaps or if you're not using any nozzle at all, you can shut your water off without walking back to the valve.
Protip: you don’t have to walk back if you want to change the attachment. You can depress the trigger on the attachment as you screw it in or you can link the hose to stop the flow as you change attachments.
