Neil is this an air hose from a compressor?

If so I have come to realize that you need to buy a real quality hose brand.

I have the cheapo walmart brand & the dam thing leaks all over
from fittings to hose splitting.

The only thing I do to keep patching it is use lots of duct tape
& hose clamps till I can get a good brand.

it is a compresser hose, and it is a decent hose, it wasnt a cheap one, but i dont remember where we got it from. i wonder if there is any way of cutting the fitting off and reattaching it some how?

Check a website like northerntool.com
See if they carry a hose end replacement kit.

I am sure that would have to be CRIMPED on very well.

There is an end repair kit that has a barbed fitting with a compression sleeve. Sleeve goes on, barb goes in, sleeve comes up and tightens to barb. Done!
