Hose repair kits

TimR · 2016-04-17T19:50:19+00:00

My neighbor gave me a hose, good quality except the leak. It looked like a lawnmower nicked it. The big box store had three choices, at $2, $6, and $8. The cheap kit was a plastic double male ferrule with clamps, the medium a brass insert with hose clamps, and the expensive one was brass with coupler blocks. Is there any difference in function or durability? I bought the expensive one and it worked fine, but is a little bulky if you had a hose reel.

Amazon has a pretty good selection up to more than 2" diameter.

I wouldn't bother. Far to thin-walled to support 30psi, much less higher pressures.

Fortunately, used as described, will be exposed to zero PSIG.
