What happens here

Begin by identifying the damaged male end of your garden hose. Use a pair of hose cutters to make a clean, straight cut, removing the compromised section of the hose. Next, take the new male garden hose repair fitting. This fitting typically comes in several parts, including a threaded collar, a clamp (often in two halves), and a barbed insert. Use a screwdriver to unscrew and separate these components, preparing them for assembly.

Goal: Remove damaged hose end and disassemble new fitting

What they say

Hide

So this is the male side of the garden hose. Alright, we're going to make a quick repair. Chop it off. Get this unscrewed. Now we've got to put this piece right here in here. You had a heat gun, you could do that. If not, just boil some water. Just hold your hose in the hot water real quick and you'll see it's going to start getting real pliable. Take this bad boy, pepper right on in there. Took it and pushed it down on here a little bit. Got it the rest of the way on.
