Zhengmy 12 Pcs Garden Hose Repair Kit Hose Connector Fit for 3/4" or 5/8"

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.

Very strong. I used pex clamps instead of the worm clamps.

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.

I don't know what's going on with these hose menders but I use them on my garden hoses that I bought over the years and they're just on the small side diameter-wise once I crank up the clamp it holds pretty good but they always leak a little bit. If they were a little bit bigger diameter I think they'd work fine. I also have some half inch hose where it's just perfect but if it was a little bit bigger diameter I'm sure I could push them into my half inch hose also. I've been trying to find some cheap plastic ones to fix my hoses because let's face it you're fixing an old hose if it's leaking so you don't want to spend money on that.

If the clamps don’t work properly the kit doesn’t work, I’m amazed that they sell this with the goal of fixing a hose, the clamps fail , the hose leaks, news flash - sell clamps that actually tighten and don’t fail when tightened

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.

The hardest part is going to be cutting the hose apart. I have found a couple of clamps and an ax works very well and very quickly and leaves a perfect cut but that is not really necessary as this product looks to have been designed for those that are not able to leave a perfect cut. It works very well, has been leak proof up to this time for me and I am a very happy camper concerning the purchase and would recommend if you have a need to purchase a set of these.
