BlingKingdom 3pcs 3/8" Air Hose Repair Kit, Barb Hose Fitting Connector

I wish I can get this bus 6 star. I fixed my retractable hose in less than 10 minutes. It works perfectly. Previously I have thrown away three expensive 1/2-in hoses with 3/8 inner expandable tubes that cost a lot of money. I threw them away because the cheap Chinese plastic repair kits just don't work. You can spend an hour trying to fix a hose only to find it still leaks. A couple of tips. While the hose is running, determine the exact spot where the leak is. Fully deflate the hose and put a clamp 10 in to each side so that the outer sheath can't slip away. Make sure to put your clamps over the outer sheath before you do the repair. Put a little oil on the brass fitting before you insert makes it much easier. Insert your tube over the brass fitting. Pull the fabric tight. Put the clamp on over the brass and it will be waterproof and the hose will still stretch.

This was exactly what I needed to fix my garden hose. I have a 1/2 inch garden hose with an inner diameter of 7/16 of an inch. The product description for this product says it is 3/8 inch, which would be 6/16 inch. I was afraid it might be a little small, but it actually just fit into my hose. I wrapped plumbers tape around each side of the center of the connector just to make sure it got a good seal, and then I wrapped silicone tape around the outside of the hose between the hose and the clamp just to make sure it would fit tight. This worked very well and I was able to repair my garden hose without any leaks at all.

Worked perfect to splice a broken oozing soaker hose. The clamps were a nice extra. The hardware store was out of stock. These were just what I needed.

easzy to install

I thought it was going to hard to repair hoses. Actually it really easy to install. Perfect fit with no leaks. It has allowed me to use old soaker hose that I thought I would have to throw away.

I have a Snap On air hose, but it was older. I decided to fix it. I bought this instead of going to Harbor Freights and buying their repair kit. The repair kit only has one brass barbed fitting to connect and splice a broken hose. For around the same price, Amazon sells three of them with the clamps. The HF one does include a fixed end, but for me, I typically have air leaks on the hose and not the end. I found out that my hose is so messed up, it is not even worth fixing (I sprung a leak elsewhere). HF has a 25 ft. all rubber house for $15. But I am still happy I have this repair kit for future usage. I was not too happy with the clamps, I noticed two of them would just not tighten, they just kept spinning. But again, for the price, I am still very happy. Still a good quality repair kit. Just one brass fitting would be $5 each at Home Depot, Menards, etc. Here you get three fittings and 6 clamps. Great deal!

Brass coupling fitting is good, hose clamps aren’t so good. If tightened they come apart. Perhaps on a different hose but definitely weren’t good for me.
