Zhengmy 12 Pcs 5/8-3/4 Inch Hose Repair Kit Brass Barb Fitting Garden Water Hose Repair Connectors with Claps Fiting with 8 Pcs Stainless Steel Pipe Clamp for Fuel Air

Does the job. Save me money fixing my hose instead of throwing them away. I really need to stop mowing my hose - but this saves me.

These things work beautifully. They're a little hard to get in to the hose where you're clamping it but you want it to be that tight so it won't leak. The clamps are a little weak but they will hold up. If you prefer a more heavy-duty clamp they're cheap enough at Lowe's and any other place that you can replace the ones that come with it. The money they saved me I'm replacement hoses versus the money I spent on these pennies on the dollar.

Although the kit is a great product the screwworm clamps need to be one size bigger and better in quality... several of the clamps are cheaply made and get jammed and or the screw fails to hold. These clamps would be better if they were one size bigger... you need to account for the thickness of the hose material you are repairing. In this case it was a struggle to get the screwworm clamp to open up big enough to fit over the hose and not come apart. when you back off the screw as far as it will go without coming apart when you go to screw it down the tape jams against the screw head.

I recently used this connector with 5/8” soaker hose. Initially, I found it extremely difficult/impossible to push the hose onto the connector. But with a few tricks it became relatively easy. First I ground the end of a piece of wood/stick into cone shape. Second, I put a little oil on that cone shaped wood/stick. Third, I jammed the wood into the end of the soaker hose to expand/enlarge it slightly. Fourth, I wound teflon tape onto the connector (primarily to help seal the connection). Then I was able to easily push the hose onto the connector. The hose clamps provided withe the connectors got some poor quality reviews. Therefore, to be safe, I purchased extra (higher quality?.) steel hose clamps and used two additional clamps rather just the two hose clamps provided at each connection (Thus, I used a total of four clamps at each connection). Everything seems to be working.

The connector itself was fine but the hose clamps are not great. I was connecting 2 different hoses. One side was very tight and barely needed a clamp at all. The other side was supposedly the same size but obviously a looser fit. The narrow host clamps couldn’t be tightened enough to stop water dripping past. If you tighten it the thin band stretches and the screw begins to jump. I had to go get regular hose clamps from a hardware store and then it worked.

These hose connectors work great. They are simple to install and are made of indestructible brass. They save the cost of a new hose that has a hole in it. Great produce. The clamps are also included. 5 star product.

These hose clamps don't tighten enough to seal the fitting. They're so thin, they strip out. I had to use some I had from Home Depot.

Worked perfect to fix spots in the hoses that were leaking. East to use, and work well!
