Oreilly auto parts has those gates heat shrink clamps.

[@adamkempa5157]

Cool - best solution I have seen Thanks

[@computer59]

Good idea but you didn't test it with water pressure

[@Air-ei9qb]

Can it stand the pressure of the water when stopped by a ball valve on the end. ????

[@joegroff1387]

Thank you so much I love your repair the best

[@billrimmer5596]

im trying gates gilmore brass fittings n ferrule, w dramm press or dixon 860 ,w dies,...even the vevor hydraulic crimper is good,i have over 100 psi,...sometimes a oex crimp ring might work

[@philfontes1260]

Great idea-thanks for the tip

[@directapprec]

Nice tip. Can you give us an update as to its efficacy as of 5 August, 2020?

The replacement brass fit doesnt work, I will try this new method

[@billrector]

I would not think that would be a strong enough mechanical connection to stand up to the twisting it will see when connected to a sprayer or a faucet.

[@indywiring]

What a great idea. Is it still working? Do it leak at all? I was thinking of using this solution to make custom length garden hoses for irrigation.

[@tubejim101]

The brass part is to smooth. If I leave the hose turned on, the next morning, it will have popped off. If the barbs on the brass end, bit in a little, it would work good.

[@SIG020250]

@@tubejim101 In other words, it doesn't work. Needs more clamping force. Have you tried it a combination of the shrink tube and a clamp?

[@nicolassanchez8318]

Is there enough interference?

Great idea

[@jackscenic]

Test it out under pressure after to complete the video. Cmon u guys.Does my fix actually work on video????

[@barneyrubble4827]

Put this sleeve on a barbed brass fitting and its not goin anywhere. I'm in the shrink film biz 40 yrs, stuff has much greater clamping force than you'd think. The adhesive on the E tape might eventually cause a fail as it breaks down, maybe not. I wouldn't use it.

Nice!

Cool fix but I found a better product in Walmart or Home Depot. Its made by Expert Gardner and called a Push-fit Male/Female hose mender for $2.73 All you have to do is to cut the hose correctly where needed and slide the mender piece in. No other tools required. They also have a coupler version in case the leak is too far along the length of the hose and you don't want to end up with a shorter hose. This last one may not be too good of a solution if you have the hose inside a reel, because it may not reel-up perfectly

You sound like John Hoodman

[@gcklema]

These are insanely expensive ($10 each?!), and not worth it for garden hose repair
