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.

yes, and replacement ends may not always seal up the best either.
