Biswing Garden Hose Repair Connector with Clamps, 5/8" Barb x 3/4" GHT Thread Aluminum Water Hose Pipe Repair Kit, Female and Male Hose Connectors with Stainless Steel Clamp, 2 Pack

The quality is there, hence the five stars; however, the supplied barbs are most definitely NOT 5/8 as claimed, but 3/4.I have recently used several of another brand that actually were 5/8 and those barbs were easy to insert in 5/8 hose; alas, that brand is no longer available.These looked like a good deal, so I got them insteadWhen I got them out of the box, I suspected the barbs were too big; and I was right, they are.I managed to make them work, but it was not easy.The 5/8 hose I was working with had been laying in the broiling sun, full of scalding hot water, for several hours; so, it should have been expanded about as much as possible.I sprayed cooking oil spray inside the hose end and on the barb.I almost never got the hose to start over the end.Once I did manage to get the barb started in the hose, I held the hose end against the wood-boxed barn wall and shoved the hose onto the barb..Like all clamps supplied with such things, they are capable of the task, but just barely so; get carried away with the torque and you will have a stripped clamp; a 7mm socket fits the clamps.The supplied washers, like all hose washers these days, are really good and leak-free for one use; unscrew the hose to connect something else and you may as well put in another new washer as the new one you put in there a few minutes ago will now be all deformed and never seal again.

Great repair kit...

These hose bib repair/extenders are handy if you are assembling an irrigation system. Buy one long hose, custom cut your pieces to fit, use these adaptors to equip the custom length hose sections with a male and female bib. You're good to goPRO TIP: use a heat gun or blow dryer to heat up your hose before you try to slip it on the barb. Once you get the end of your hose nice and warmed up, it will stretch and slip right on the barb without a bunch of straining and cussing. This is especially useful when you are trying to fit a smaller soaker hose on these barbs. Don't go crazy and melt your hose...just get it hot to the touch and work fast. When it cools in place clamp it. It will stay right there for good.Pros: Inexpensive solution when you need a lot of them. Machine work and dimensions are to spec. Gaskets included. The hose barb dimension can be made to work with either 3/4 or 5/8 hose, and even 1/2" soaker hose, with a little effort and a heat gun.cons: anodized aluminum, not brass. Long term, they'll corrode together, but they should last for several seasons. Add non-toxic lubricants like edible greases, etc., in order to extend connection life.warning: The screw clamps are really pretty substandard. You should expect and plan to use something else.Four stars, because of the substandard clamps. They still worked for me, but I have a lot of spare clamps.

Good quality material with dependable hose clamps. Washers included also.

If you get lucky you get two 25ft or so hoses from a burst 50ft. Easy to install and works great for repairs or custom length hoses.

Try,try and try again! Once water pressure was put into the hose the fitting slowly pushed out…fail:( However I had 3/4 per crimp clamps! Problem solved

Holds up under pressure, easy hose fix, VS buying new hose. Splice in anywhere, solid connection.No leaks.

They are a bit tough to get in my hose (maybe my hose is tougher than some), but they are GREAT. I've used them on 3 hoses where one I cut in half with the lawn mower and the other two the dogs decided to use them as chew toys. Great product, and no leaks.
