Expert Gardener Hose Connector, Push Fit Female Repair Mender (Easy to Install)

When I first received the female hose mender, I was not sure exactly how it would work. Lucky for me, attached with it was a small card which more or less explained how to install. My hose had a female end which was so bent that it would shoot water everywhere. So, this was a perfect little gadget to help fix the problem. One of the most difficult steps in trying to repair my hose was cutting through it. Using my utility knife I was able to achieve a straight edge. However, I did lose like 6 to 8 inches in the process. At one end it has the typical screw on thread and on the other end is a silver tooth-like area where you place the cut end of your hose. The second difficult step was pushing the cut end of the hose into the tooth area and making it grab the hose. Being that this mender is made of tough plastic which can flex without breaking makes it work, with no issues. This was an expensive fix that saved me from having to buy a new hose. I installed it onto the faucet and started using the hose within 10 minutes. This is definitely a great option.

I received my Expert Gardener Push Fit Female Repair Mender as part of Walmart's Sparks Reviewer program. The timing could have not been better as one of my hoses was leaking. The piece is made of heavy-duty black plastic, and appears as if it will last a long time. It comes with an oversized female connector. This makes it very easy to hand tighten on to a faucet, no need for a wrench or pliers. Installation is a snap too. Just cut off the old female connector, push the new one on as far as it will go and that is it. The hose is leak free and good as new. One tip, when cutting off the old connector, make as straight a cut as possible. I used a very sharp pair of garden shears to get a nice clean edge. This ensures the Repair Mender gets seated as far down inside the hose as possible. The part of the Mender that inserts inside the hose has a series of ridges that keep the connector from coming off the hose. I believe they also prevent water from going anywhere except out through the connector. I have used my repaired hose almost daily for two weeks now without any leaks or drips. I am very satisfied with this product.
