Repair Water Hose - Replace Threaded End on Damaged Garden Hose

http://www.elperfecto.com/2010/08/05/repair-a-water-hose/

This water hose got damaged when a lawn mower cut into it. I could spend more money and throw it in the trash, which then goes to the landfill. Or, I could save money and repair the hose, bringing it back to useful service.

If you are interested in repairing your water hoses, this video might give you some ideas. Happy gardening!

thank you SO much for making this video. i totally cracked up. Im single femal with amature gardening and handywoman experience. tried to repair the nozzle end with the metal parts, (yes I knew to use metal) the problem was that I didnt feed it through the hose first and cut my thumb really bad trying to feed and tighten the clamp at the same time. I told myself that there had to be an easier way. so been googling all morning for help and I found you. THANK YOU! saved my fingers and my day.

@elsitabebe I'm sorry you got hurt. Hope you fixed your water hose.

When you said "I probably should've put the clamp on the hose first" I died laughing. You're teaching style is a bit unorthodox but its effective and funny!

You busted me and exposed me as the amateur I am! :-) I'm glad you had a laugh and hopefully you are encouraged to try repairing anything that needs fixing. If I can do it, you can, too! Have a great day.

these plastic clamps are okay to use BUT tighten down the screws evenly. Kinda a methodical process. I must say though, that I trust the metal hose clamps more for any sort of higher presser application

im so GLAD That I found your tutorial. single female amature gardener and handywoman! I knew that a hose could get fixed so I bought my METAL nozzle repair kit. I knew to use metal tho! hahaha HOWEVER, I did NOT feed the clamp through the hose FIRST and instead thougth to undo it and push it together with my hands. i tried for two day using pliers and wrenchs to try to tighten it, but I couldnt do. I ended up cutt my thumb n said to myself there has to be an easier way and i found THIS!

I use KY Jelly because it is water soluble. Good job!
