Both ends of my garden hoses are kind of beaten up but the brass is still
thick and strong.

Do they make a relatively inexpensive (as compared to the hose) tool to
clean up those threads?

The problem is this is a one-time use only and I asked at Orchard Supply
who said they don't make such a "thread chaser" for garden hose threads.

They had "thread files" for regular SAE threads, but not garden hoses.

They have taps and dies for pipes, but it would be cheaper ($50 per hose)
to buy another good-quality 3/4" all-rubber hose than to buy an expensive
tap & die even if it were made (which OSH says is not).

What would YOu use to clean up an old, but, still strong, solid brass
garden hose threads?
