Any ideas how to stop a leak in the middle of one of those garden hoses that expand and retract? Only used it 2x. Hate to toss it. Wasn't cheap. |

You might try a brass insert coupling and clamps. All of those type hoses have a short life span in my opinion. |

I would toss it. I used mine 2x and it exploded while trying to fill a kiddie pool. Don't throw good money after bad, it isn't worth the time or money to fix. |
