How Long Will My Expandable Hose Repair Last? #diy #helpingothers #gardenhose

What happens here

To access the inner, leaky tube, carefully cut the outer fabric braiding of the hose using a pair of scissors. It's crucial to cut only the fabric and avoid damaging the inner blue rubber tube, as this is the primary water conduit. Once the fabric is cut, gently pull it back or peel it away to fully expose the inner tube. The video clearly shows a small hole in the blue inner hose, which was the confirmed source of the leak.

Goal: Locate the leak in the inner tube
