I guess you have succeeded in being able to use the hose again,BUT you lost A LOT of hose in the process,I guess it is what it is, IF you want to continue to use the old damaged hose/you don't want to replace it/buy a new one, I guess you could add links, from another hose/IF you can buy just the hose or salvage pieces from another hose.
I prefer using the quick connects to the house, hose(for a sprayer) & the garage utility sink. (Which has hot water. Great for washing the truck in winter)
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 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.
Yep, thanks for that tip... I knew there had to be another way....mine won't hold any pressure...the second I turn it off at the sprinkler it blows out at the faucet. Thanks again
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.
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! 😁👍
Hi!!! I hope you see this message because I’m a big fan (and subscriber) of yours. Your video on edging the lawn is fantastic and my yard looks great. So now I have to repair a hose and now I know make sure I buy the “clamp “ that you screw on (no sharp edges). 🌸
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.
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!
Absolutely! In Australia the older style brass hose fittings are almost non-existent anymore. Majority of fittings are the European style and makes things so easy.
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.
Actually That depends on what you are looking to achieve. A smaller hose will actually give you more overall velocity. A smaller hose will have more resistance than a larger hose. You will see a 4 psi drop per 100 feet on a 5/8in hose vs a 2 psi drop on a 3/4. So if you want more velocity go 5/8. If you want more over all water flow volume...go 3/4.
@@skypallman6169 Wild. I am curious about the physics of that, but in practical terms, flow is everything. If I place a nozzle at the end of both hose diameters, the 3/4” hose sprays further. I work with hose a lot, lol
@@skypallman6169 if you didnt have a fitting at the end, that would be true. but having a nozzle (or your finger lol) at the end, a 3/4" hose will give you more velocity due to the higher head pressure at the nozzle.
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.
I use a 3/4" hose fitting, secured with a upinor pex ring, using a upinor pex expansion tool to expand the hose/expansion ring, then quickly slip onto the new fitting, it's awesome 👌
Always great content. Just had to do this after my winterized hose must have contained some water. Didn't know they made repair kits that had a double barbed connector. I bought a male and female connector and screwed them together. Learned something new today, which is why I subscribe and get notifications for each video
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
Here in the EU it's normal to have special garden hose quick disconnects, does that kind excist in the US? I always see these threads and look really annoying to use
New Hampshire here. We've had quick-connects in my family as long as I can remember. We also lived in Galway Ireland when I was a kid. Maybe we stole the idea there. I agree. Threaded hose connections look awful. I had no idea they existed!
@@geoffmooregm Never had issues with quick disconnects before. Other than plastic ones being damaged easy. Brass, Copper, or other metals are way better, and quick disconnects are nice. A thread wouldn't bother me to much, since I barely take stuff off.
@@autumn5592 I am not saying they don't work. I am saying they reduce flow. I have 3/4" plumbing from my main to the hose bib as well as a 3/4" hose. I am not going to put a quick connect on that when it chokes it down to 1/4"
Thanks. Just had a really hard time installing a Melnor kit. I'll try the sort you show. HD is asking ****$2**** for ONE hose clamp-- and you need two per joint! Not happy with them!
I first want to say I love your videos. Very informative. Thank you. My question is... I have fescue/bermuda however I have lots of weeds in my grass. The problem I have is I live in California central valley and it is already above 90 degrees... Is there a product I can use to get rid of the weeds In the heat of summer that wont kill the grass?
Just a little FYI kinda warning. Those #1 and #4 heat up on the sun and overtime burst the hose right at this end (if there's water pressure all the time). My hose might be old but just FYI. Already happened 3 times to me over 2 summers
I'm not sure it's the heat. I had one in a shady spot blow off. I cut a clean end on the hose and use a worm gear clamp instead of the plastic one. So far no problems with the worm clamp mod.
I have a hose that I need to replace the male and female in. However, the inside of the hose has a rubber reinforced ribbing. I cannot seem to get one of the hose repair pieces into the rubber. I’ve tried to soak in hot water, I’ve tried using soap, and I just can’t get it to go past the rubber ribs. Any suggestions what I can use? It appears I need something that smooth that will go in there that will attach to a male and female repair end.
The first method involving hose clamps works the best. The repair kits are 'ok' but IMHO don't hold as firmly as the ring clamps. Lastly: estate sales and thrift shops often sell perfectly great used hoses for really cheap. I recently purchased a nice one for $5... not much different than a repair kit.
I like the permanent wire type clamps. Once you have the tool you just need bailing wire. It's permanent and sits flush with the hose. If you want you can use electrical tape or heat shrink to cover it.
Wish the guy at the store would’ve mentioned that type of clip. I hate the wire clamps because they do get caught on everything and they’re not very comfortable when they scrape against your hand or leg. But I do like the idea of inserting a piece of pipe PVC cop whatever is available inside the hose and then using the zip ties. I like that idea best.
How do you repair a hose that has an internal rib to prevent water stoppage in event of a kink. I've tried to splice these hoses and they always seem to leak due to the internal rib. I have even tried to trim the inside of the hose but can't get a seal
@@maddog3080 thanks! That was the only other solution I saw people using was trim the rib out. Cross fingers on added silicone. If I didn't have this stuff lying around I would just throw my hands up and go by a new one but at this point it's almost like a challenge. It's the last leak! I will not be defeated by a stupid hose!
Do these clamp kits come in 5/8" for thicker hoses? I got a 100' ft. Red like water hose at home deepot and I want to cut it in half to make 2 hoses 50' ft. Long
Not sure how many people just run over their water hose with a lawn mower, but it would be cheaper and less time consuming to move it. I'll give you a thumbs up for the tutorial so you know I'm not hatin on ya.
I have one of the self expanding hoses with a leak. There is an inner "expandible" rubber core with an outer shell. Do you think it will still work on that?
I don't think it would work with that. But maybe if you put a more solid structure at the end like a few inches of regular hose and attach it to the self expanding... It might work if you are able to get it to seal right somehow.
I was on the farm once about 1 mile out from the barn. I was dropped off and always walked the watering trough routes back to the barn. The hose broke and all I had there was a drill bit and a clamp. The water was completely empty so I found a stick and whittled a hole in it and twisted and stuffed it inside. Out the one clamp I had and it worked so well it stayed like that for 3 months until I winter came I fixed it. I think it could have went three more months lol.
One roll of mechanics wire or tie wire can be had for the price of a pack of zip ties. Tie wire makes good hose clamps that last longer than Chinese zip tie plastic. Another tip if your using bulk pipe as your union fitting is to use a tubing cutter to score some lines where your clamps are going to be. The score lines act as an ad hoc barb fitting.
I recently found your channel , and every video I have watched was excellent. But I am not a handy guy and still have not understood where the name Silver Cymbal come from. Can someone tell me?
This is an application where they don't help. You wont see temperature changes here and the sharp edged clamp would rive you crazy on the ground. But in the car, boats, coolant lines they are the the best
Hi, I have an expensive Amazon hose in the end popped off, male. I put the very same end back in and put an o-ring on in a matter of minutes it popped off again. What do you suggest? Also, are there different sizes to these Hardware like 5/8, 3/4, like that? Thank you very much I really appreciate your video!
I used to feel the same, try one of the clamp kits sometime they are very good. I have a 200' hose by combining a 150 and 50 using them, be in place for a long time without issues.
i had that way of thinking too actually, but i just tried the inline clamp today from Lowes and its definitely better than using the normal clamp styles. Old hoses still have uses if they arent totally messed up though.. ended up fitting a previously used one into the bottom of a bucket a few weeks ago to catch leaking water from exit pluming when water is being used which was making the crawl space a little wet. And Boom, when the water gets high enough in the bucket the hose drains it to the sump pump so no more wet crawl space :)
A temporary solution is if you have a older damaged hose I always keep them around as you never know if you can use it as a siphon hose, or something else. Like cutting a section of the hose then slicing it half place the half over the leaking section of the new hose guerilla tape it to the hose and had no more leak.
Honestly the patching never really lasts, usually dries out. Better to buy one of these kits amzn.to/3wjvhC3 cut out a small section around it and you have a perfect hose again.
Replace the male end of my hose. Clamp it down very tight. I leave the water on with the spray head. Over a few days, the replaced male end kept popping off, any solution?
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!"
Those squeeze clamps always leak. I use the hose clamps but not with the light duty clamps that come with it. I have a bunch of hoses for lawn, gardens, flower, boxes and greenhouse with timers and made my hoses custom lengths.
Instead of the worm-drive clamps I prefer the wire hose clamps. You can buy a Clamp-Tite tool or there are many DIY approaches for similar results. Especially on an inline splice the wire clamp does not have huge bulges to catch on things.
@@exnyer72 yes. I use worm clamps on the main line (under pressure all the time) and usually double clamp. For the zone lines I prefer pinch (oetiker) clamps.

Do they make male end hose repair couplings for 1/2 inch hoses? Can't seem to find one.

The ends are the worst! Nice to know they have male and female repair kits. Thanks for sharing!!
They do but Male are always gone. Hmmm

I found crimp Pex fittings work just don’t crimp as hard. Brass fittings with copper band or pinch rings
After repairing several hoses in the past, I've found the best course of action is to just throw it away and go buy a new one.
I used to feel the same, try one of the clamp kits sometime they are very good. I have a 200' hose by combining a 150 and 50 using them, be in place for a long time without issues.
i had that way of thinking too actually, but i just tried the inline clamp today from Lowes and its definitely better than using the normal clamp styles.
Old hoses still have uses if they arent totally messed up though.. ended up fitting a previously used one into the bottom of a bucket a few weeks ago to catch leaking water from exit pluming when water is being used which was making the crawl space a little wet. And Boom, when the water gets high enough in the bucket the hose drains it to the sump pump so no more wet crawl space :)
A temporary solution is if you have a older damaged hose I always keep them around as you never know if you can use it as a siphon hose, or something else. Like cutting a section of the hose then slicing it half place the half over the leaking section of the new hose guerilla tape it to the hose and had no more leak.

what about a hole? I have a hole and was debating on patching it but it’ll bubble out. any suggestions with a little hole in the hose?
Honestly the patching never really lasts, usually dries out. Better to buy one of these kits amzn.to/3wjvhC3 cut out a small section around it and you have a perfect hose again.
A tubing cutter is a good way to cut garden hose which gives a nice, clean, straight cut.
👌I never thought of that one🤔
Thanks I have a really nice hose that has a kink in the middle. I'll cut it out and use one of those nice connectors.
Thats a great idea, sometimes sadly that happens.
Replace the male end of my hose. Clamp it down very tight. I leave the water on with the spray head. Over a few days, the replaced male end kept popping off, any solution?
Will this work for the pocket hose, or hose that expands under water pressure?
Love your videos, really helping me transform the property!
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!"
thanks, your tutorials make me certified dad now 😅
There are some cheap chinese all copper quick release fittings as well which are great and i tested them and has 0 leaks so far 😚
Those squeeze clamps always leak. I use the hose clamps but not with the light duty clamps that come with it. I have a bunch of hoses for lawn, gardens, flower, boxes and greenhouse with timers and made my hoses custom lengths.
I have noticed that the plastic clamps has a wide end and a smaller edge. I am unsure how which side of the clamp goes next to the male end 2
OmG! Thanks so much!!! Great save❤️
Instead of the worm-drive clamps I prefer the wire hose clamps. You can buy a Clamp-Tite tool or there are many DIY approaches for similar results. Especially on an inline splice the wire clamp does not have huge bulges to catch on things.
The Worm Drive clamps are perfect for irrigation projects (underground), or for anything where there will not be any contact to cause damage.
@@exnyer72 yes. I use worm clamps on the main line (under pressure all the time) and usually double clamp. For the zone lines I prefer pinch (oetiker) clamps.
@@Sylvan_dB thank you for that bit of information. I will look into those!
The negative for that type is the whole hose needs to be turned to attach to the faucet..
Thank you soooooo much
Thank you so much 👍
