Very nice & simple explanation, thanks. To make this video more complete, add repair technique to repair hose leak anywhere from lengthwise. Best of luck.
Why Pocket Hoses Fail Description: 2 Plastic connectors on each end of the hose. One expandable tubing is clipped onto those connectors. One non-expandable but larger tube of tough fiber weaved outer jacket. water pressure causes the inner tubing to expand like a balloon. the outer cover prevents the inner tubing from over expanding and popping. The inner tube expands by water pressure. Then contracts when the pressure drops. The greatest pressure happens right near the connectors. Each time this happens, that inner tubing begins to form cracks. When enough cracks near to each other forms, water pressure forces it way through that weakened area, ending up as a leak, most frequently right near the connectors. The clip that holds the rubber tubing keeps it from expanding. Meanwhile, the non-clip hose expands. The difference between them generates the biggest cracks. Then at that area, it splits open. The more you use the hose, the sooner it splits open near the connectors. once you understand the problem with these types of hoses, you must decide whether or not they are worth your while. If you do a ton of use, then vinyl is the way to go. If occasional, then pockethose like products are the better choice.
That kind of hose will last only in a months. I Bought 1 and after 2 months it give me a headache. Because of the pressure and the hose made of rubber it is easier to break. Mine it breaks at the middle..
Thought mine was defective, this video totally saved me from returning my hose or having to buy another... Thank you for this!!!

Excellent description of procedure and repair parts

Nice ! Your explanation I can follow, I have two hoses & both came apart

My hose had a METAL squeeze jacket to hold the hose. I had to hack saw it off and then used an expandable hose clamp. Wasn't pretty but it worked.
Why Pocket Hoses Fail
Description:

the outer cover prevents the inner tubing from over expanding and popping.
The inner tube expands by water pressure. Then contracts when the pressure drops.
The greatest pressure happens right near the connectors.
Each time this happens, that inner tubing begins to form cracks.
When enough cracks near to each other forms, water pressure forces it
way through that weakened area, ending up as a leak, most frequently right near the connectors. The clip that holds the rubber tubing keeps it from expanding. Meanwhile,
the non-clip hose expands. The difference between them generates the biggest cracks.
Then at that area, it splits open. The more you use the hose, the sooner it splits open

How do you use a cressent pleaaaasr !!!!
you need to get the camera closer to the repair you are making, can't see anything!
I don't have a 12 mm Allen wrench and you didn't show how to do it with a cressant wrench! :(
