The Yardworks 5/8-in Brass Female End Garden Hose Mender repairs cut or torn hoses to extend their life. Built from high-quality brass, this female hose mender is durable and long-lasting. The solid machine construction features crush-proof technology so you can use the mender without worrying about bends or cracks. A heavy-duty stainless steel clamp secures the mender to a hose and forms a tight connection. To fix a broken hose, simply cut the hose ends into a square shape and fit them into the interlocking parts of the mender.
