I have a garden hose that has a tiny leak and sprays a fine stream of
water, especially when the nozzle is shut off. Of course it is always
aimed at my pants leg. The hose is in good condition otherwise, so
it's worth repairing. To fix this tiny hole, must I cut the hose in
half and apply one of those splicers, or is there some sort of glue,
patch, or tape made to repair holes? I'd rather use a patch, because
those splicers always get stuck on everything when you pull the hose
around. I was wondering if a bicycle tire patch would work? Anyone
ever tried that?
Thanks
George

You will need to splice it or use an end repair kit (cutting off the
part with the leak and putting a new end on the hose there.
Personally I find that when a hose gets one leak, more are not far
behind.

you might try a tire patch overwrapped with something like Scotch 23
and then finally friction tape; that said if it is near an end it is
likely quicker, easier, cheaper, and more attractive to simply cut off
and install a brass end with a stainless steel hose clamp.

Since when is Sears going out of buisness???
a bad quarter or two means they are going OOB?
I don't think so.
