Review on STYDDI Brass Garden Hose Repair Kit With Clamps - Male And Female Hose Connectors For 5/8" And 3/4" Rubber Hoses - 4 Piece Set by Brian Messerly

The local big box stores stopped carrying solid brass hose repair items. They carry light weight aluminum plated to look like brass or plastic ones that don't work well. And they charge more than the brass ones which will last for many years. We have a large yard and have hundreds of feet of hose. The factory ends are usually the weak point and for years I used solid brass repair kits to keep the hoses in service. When the hoses wear out I can still remove the used repair kits and re use them on another hose ( assuming my wife doesn't throw them away before I remove the fittings).
