Simple evaluation of my hose experience over 30 years.
“I hate all types of hoses “.
if i didn't need them i'd surely not have them...
One of the troubles I have with (some) hoses is if the end swivels too much and I can’t screw a spray nozzle on tightly enough because it just twists the hose end around and around instead of screwing onto it. Sometimes I am able to get it on all the way with no leaks, but other times it drips or sprays.
As I’m writing this it just occurred to me that maybe I could use one of @ducks4you ‘s hose end reinforcers on the troublesome hose, use pliers to get that to crank down properly, and then once it was on I could leave it there permanently and hope that the end of that piece doesn’t swivel when I put the spray nozzle on and off.
So, cut the end off. As far as I can feel, I need to cut 4 more inches, if not blown all the way through. Idk yet.
Anyway, that dark collar under my thumb, that ALWAYS rusts and snaps. Always.
