Default Do they make a tool to clean up threads on a garden hose?

I don't think that the difference between 11.5 and 12 TPI would make
much of a difference


Assuming a garden hose is 3/4 inch and 11.5 TPI, and assuming a tap for 3/4
inch and 12 TPI would fix it ...


Is the consensus that a 3/4 inch tap and die with a 12 TPI pitch is
actually available on the market?


See if you can find a 9/16 x 12 *for both internal and external or a
1" x 12 for the external thread.


As it turns out the 2.00 section of my metric thread file is a perfect
fit for a hose end.
