I needed some garden hose of the right length to go with the
quick-connect I posted about weeks ago. I used one of those ends with
the 2-part plastic clamp like you posted and the hose shot off the
connector. This particular hose was thinner, or older, than some. Next
time I used an all-metal hose clamp like is used on GM cars and I could
make that much tighter.

They make those hose ends for different diameters of hose. You need to
get the one that takes a bit of work to wiggle it into the hose.

Maybe it wasn't the right size. I probablay could have sanded off some
of the mating surface of the plastic clamp to make it smaller.

My next step was to buy a fancy non-kinking, non-twisting 10' hose,
which also bends better just like they said it would.

It's in Spanish for me. Is it for you?

Nope, english for me. But I don't have a webcam on my PC,
it could see that you are one of those swarthy hispanics.

I don't know how to get back to English. Never mind. I found a
drop-down box next to the US flag next to the search box. Hmm. Amazon
sent me an auto-confirm email when I set it to Spanish, and again when I
set it back to English, but I never got one when something set it to
Spanish a day or two ago.
