Pros & Cons

Pros

The threads are fairly sturdy as are the barbs that keep the hose from disengaging under high pressure. This makes the hose more pliable. The threads work well even with the garden spay bottles i use to kill mosquitos. Worked perfectly, shipped fast.

Tested with full pressure and bingo, no more leaks. It still drips a little, ever so slightly, but at least i didn't need to throw a hose away and buy a new one. No leaks after connecting a spray nozzle.

If you have a neverkink hose, there is a solid raised notched ridge that runs along the entire length of the hose. The key is to first put on the collar and tighten it ever so slightly so the pieces are lined up. Then insert the end of the repair into... Read More

Quality

I am very pleased with a product that works perfectly and was super easy to install

I had been getting by with the damaged threads of my male hose end where my female hose sprayer attachment wouldnt fit securely... Read More

The hose barb needs to snug and for 34” i doubt it would be tight enough maybe with a hose clamp but doubtful with the included clamp

Packaging/appearance

I have used the melnor hose repair unit for years to repair both 38 and 12 soaker hoses even using the same unit multiple times

Competitiveness

I cut off the damaged male threads and easily installed the new melnor male thread end piece

So less than stellar reviews made me pause a bit but for the low price i figured it’s worth a try
