Review on Garden Hose Repair Kit: 2 Connector Sets With Clamps For 3/4" Or 5/8" Fittings - HRC-2 by Joe Nieves

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install, and sturdy

Had to pick this up because the other brass connector I used failed in month. These don't have any plastic pieces to from what I can tell and uses a simple, easily replaceable part with the hose clamps. One first install the hose did leak under pressure but tightening the clamp fixed it easily. I loved that part. The other ones I used required super human strength to hand tighten and this one just requires a screwdriver. Looking at it I'm assuming if these clamps fail I can just pick up replacements from a local hardware store as well. This one looks simple and easy to use. Simplicity wins for me. My only small concern is with the extra slack on the clamps, could it drag and catch on something and slip off? Only time will tell. Hopefully these last longer than a month.

Pros
  • Aluminum as stated and came with 6 extra seals
Cons
  • While the product claims to offer two connector sets, there is no guarantee that the clamps will fit securely enough to prevent leaks or damage to the hose
