At first, I couldn’t slide the tube on the connector. I tried soap and I tried hot water. I tried a short angle cut and a longer one. I just couldn’t slip that hose on.
Thanks. This is precisely how I need to repair my hose. Wish you wouldn't have changed your mind about demonstrating the process of connecting the two pieces over the coupling...just needed to SEE!
This worked well for me, thanks. I used a smaller coupling. I cut the outer material where the leak was and pulled some hose through in a loop before cutting, so no need for clamping. I soaped the inside of the tubing and wore rubber gloves to get more grip. Duct tape, jubilee clips, job done. Great video.
If you look into the female end of the hose you will see the hole for the water to go through is small So you can use that size SMALL coupling and you will not need to use soap or require needle nose plyers or a vice to hold the coupling. Make sure you cut the blue hose on an angle with some sharp scissors and then make sure you tighten the fittings over the cloth so not to damage the blue hose It was easy and the water pressure is same as before with the smaller coupling
This worked GREAT, thanks so much for your video and detailed discussion! I got another 2 months' use out of the hose before a new leak appeared, after which I trashed the pocket hose and bought a contractor's rubber hose. Some day, I hope to learn my lesson about all this "As Seen On TV" crap. :)
Only suggestion I'd add is to use shaving cream vs. soap as soap tends to eat rubber/ foam parts over time in my experience. Shaving cream on the other hand rinses away immediately and poses no issue to the materials long term... great video man, thanks 😎👍
It warms my heart that I can find someone who has taken the time to explain how to do literally anything to others on UA-cam. Thanks!

My hose ripped in half 😳 thank you for the quick repair!
Your method worked great. Simple, straightforward and best of all you saved me a lot of money. Thank you so much.
I used a PEX 1/2 inch connector and PEX 1/2 inch compression rings. I already had the compression tool. Worked GREAT!
You might try soaking the rubber in hot water prior to applying to coupler. Slides much easier.
Thank you so much for a clear and complete presentation, and also helping to keep the land fills clear of junk by showing everyone a way to reuse!
Thank you this will work!!!😁

Why Pocket Hoses Fail
If you look into the female end of the hose you will see the hole for the water to go through is small So you can use that size SMALL coupling and you will not need to use soap or require needle nose plyers or a vice to hold the coupling.

How do keep the hose on the coupler? It keeps popping out when I try to fix it.
Thanks. Great repair, and video.
Thank you ... I will be trying this for sure.
Possible to patch a hole in an expandable latex hose with a bike tube patch?
