The ends are the worst! Nice to know they have male and female repair kits. Thanks for sharing!!

You should try European style hose ends and accessories... No fuss screwing, zip tying or anything.

Thank you. I've been dealing with a leaky hose for a couple of years. I tried flex seal. I tried flex seal tape. Neither worked. I didn't know a product like the female end you showed existed, but I recognized it from a hose my family owned when I was a kid. Thanks to this video, I was able to fix my hose for $7!

I'm actually jealous that you put these repair ends on a video. 🤣 I've used these, religiously, and never gave them a second thought. 100% cure! Lowe's garden center every time! Thank you and God bless! 😁👍

I recommend using a heat gun after you finish attaching the clamps and heat the rubber ends to shrink them a little bit around the brass fittings. From my experience it helps secure the fitting especially under pressure in a pressure washer.

Pro tip: Don't use 5/8" hose. You wouldn't think that an additional 1/8" would make much difference, but it does. 3/4" hoses flow SO much better, especially on longer length hoses. On a 100ft hose, expect ~65% more flow. Especially if your plumbing infrastructure is beefy, 3/4" hose will make a hand sprayer or a garden sprinkler feel twice as strong.

Great video! I don’t think you mentioned that hoses come in a couple different diameters, so you want to make sure you get the correct diameter fittings for your size hose. I learned that the hard way 😉 Thanks for the information!

Fixing two hoses at the same time. They’re the orange Home Depot hoses and they’re 25+ years old! Best hoses I’ve ever had!

I've used the crimp on style, the hose clamp and the upgraded clamping style shown in the video. But my personal favorite is one made by Melnor that's all metal and has a compression nut, style 9003 & 9002. They are very low profile and don't interfere with hose reels and can't get caught on anything. Repaired 2 hoses that had bad connectors from the factory with these 20 years ago and they are still working great.

Silver Cymbal - truly dedicated - out there destroying hoses just to show us how to fix them 😁😂

[Mr.DarrenGriffin]

In the UK we have universal plastic hosepipe connectors that are really reliable and just screw together. I'd recommend looking into it

Thumbs up just for running the hose over with the mower. Dedication. And, thanks for the tips.

I've repaired several hoses over the years and only buy the premium hoses as they don't kink anywhere near as easy as a cheap hoses. They also tend to last the longest as well. I have also cut down longer hoses to make the exact size I need. I've used and liked the Gilmour Aluminum "sandwiched" type like you show and while the work great they are a bit bulky. I have been using the Orbit Brass hose menders and while they are a pain to install on thicker preminum hoses they look like a factory connection and don't hang up or get caught while dragging the hose around. Look for model numbers 56801N/56802N/56803N.

At 2 Am I am watching this.. I don't have a hose, I don't even have a Garden... Still I watched the Complete video. 🤔

[gary]

I’ve used these hose connections and they are excellent! Thanks for sharing!

[tsnstt]

I just used an electric tape and I couldn’t believe it worked! Used a $1 item to fix a $30 dollar garden hose!!! My wife thought I was crazy. I thought I was crazy. It worked!! Lol

The beginning of the video looks like a Billy Mays or Phil Swift commercial! It just needs the zoom in to black and white with the no symbol superimposed.
"Oh-no! Not again! Has this ever happened to you? Are you tired of purposefully running over your garden hose with a lawn mower? Do you want to save hundreds of dollars a year? Silver Cymbal has the fix for you!"

[frenchjd]

Great video I just ran over a hose with a mower and was thinking about how to fix it.

[mikemarcus]

The copper tube insert is a great idea!!!

[jakestoe]

That's how I set up multiple sprinklers with one hose also. Cut to desired length and use those good male/female fittings add a quick connector to the sprinkler also. Makes it a lot easier to water lawn if you don't have an irrigation system.
