Can I use this tool for garden rubber hose?

I have been using this tool and the stainless steel cinch clamps for the very purpose of repairing garden hoses. I have found that the there is a lot of variance in internal and exterior dimensions, however it has worked great for the hoses that I have that have needed repair. I'm using the clamps and fittings designated for 3/4" pex. The parts are cheaper than hose repair kits, and the screw-cinch that is included in most hose repair kits is always catching on things and not sealing up completely. Of course standard disclaimer that this of course is not designed for garden hoses. I have been using this tool and the stainless steel cinch clamps for the very purpose of repairing garden hoses.

You probably could, but why? You can buy some cheap garden hose clamps that only require a screwdriver. These cinch clamps are designed to be pinched around PEX, and pex is a much firmer material than rubber garden hose. You may end up with a crimp that's too tight and it breaks/tears your garden hose

Doubtful...but anything is possible if one tries hard enuf. Normally, this tool cinches a metal band around Pex, a type of plastic tubing used for plumbing purposes. Inserted in the Pex tubing is a hollow metal fixture which acts as a core for the metal band to tighten the Pex tubing against, making it leakproof. If my memory is correct, this tool only works with 1/2", 3/4" and 1" tubing. Why go thru the expense of buying this tool when there are plenty of hose repair kits or patches you can buy. If you are buying this tool to also use as a plumbing tool, then, with a little ingenuity and experimentation you might be able to adapt it for garden hose repair...good luck1 Doubtful...but anything is possible if one tries hard enuf.

I would have to give an answer of NO! Garden hose is much to soft and are to large in diameter. Use a regular hose clamp for many types of plastic hoses.

yes. it would be great for that. if you use it for bulbs, i would recommend a drill with a handle, when it bites it hurts, but for breaking up garden soil or compost any drill would work great.

I never have, but there is no reason that you could not. It has standard garden hose end fittings.

I don't see why not...extension cords are usually smaller in diameter than garden hoses. (That's not too bad an idea!)

Yep. I used it to dig a horizontal tunnel for PVC drainage pipes underground. Used a corded drill and will rip your arm off if you hit a root.

Assuming it is metal or shingled, I wouldn't see why you couldn't.My only concerns would be if it is a rubber roof. Part of my house has a rubber roof and I am EXTREMELY cautious with anything that I do near or around it. I would not want a device (shovel or roof rake) to take a digger and gouge the rubber.

Sure can! I use mine for wood work. The only thing to think about is water getting through your air hose and dripping on your wood. Most times it doesn't matter.

It's threaded to accept a standard garden hose, which is a 3/4" diameter. As long as your half-inch hose has a standard garden hose connector, or you can find the proper adapter, you can use this product.

I'm sure that it would. We have used it for all kinds of stuff & it has never failed. We are going to fix our garden hoses with it.

Yes you can use a standard garden hose. I recommend to have a good fit to put the cut end in hot water for a minute to make it plyable.

Yes and you will probably want to. I was not that hard on mine and it didn't last two days of use pressure washing my siding.You want either of these, both available on Amazon : Anderson Metals Brass Garden Hose Fitting, Swivel, 3/4" Female Hose ID x 3/4" Female Pipeor Gilmour 7FPS7FH Double Female Swivel Brass Connector, 3/4-Inch by 3/4-Inch

If you are connecting the metal part to the faucet, or connecting two garden hoses together - YES. If you are connecting a sprayer head, or if your garden hose has a plastic part that connects to the faucet - NO because its diameter is not wide enough.

I don't think so. You need it firmly attached to extract and rewind the hose.

Yes. I have two high quality rubber hoses connected with heavy brass fittings that easily fit through the guide opening with room to spare.

Maybe. The hose is quite flexible. I only use it for sports balls but in theory it could work.

No, this is for a hose that attaches to the strainer return. There are devices that use garden hoses, but. this is not one of them.
