Seems no matter how much I try to avoid stepping on or driving over the ends of hoses, they manage to get deformed. Once that happens, there is no way to screw anything onto them. Most of the time they are not crushed, just a little out of round. Do they make any sort of tool to clamp around them to make them round again?
Yea, I know they sell replacement ends, either those cheap plastic ones with the big blob of plastic to clamp them on, or costly brass ones that require a sharp hose clamp like the ones used in cars, and make them hard to use because they hurt the hands. Unfortunately the crimped on ones (the good ones)that come from the factory can not be purchased and would probably require a $1000 (or more) machine to install them.
