Could this work to tighten a garden hose?

No...not made of material stronge enough to stand that kind of torque....Get out your pipe wrench!Vicki

Well, cannot be sure tonight, it is in the single digit temperatures in my area. I do think so. But I can check it out, tomorrow or the next day, when it warms up. I have mobility issues, dependent on a walker, but as soon as it warms up, I will check it out for you. It is a great idea too!! I love to get new ideas.thanks.

If you are connecting the metal part to the faucet, or connecting two garden hoses together - YES. If you are connecting a sprayer head, or if your garden hose has a plastic part that connects to the faucet - NO because its diameter is not wide enough.

Yes, I believe it would....this tool is very easy to use and opens the most difficult bottles....stands to reason that it would also tighten a garden hose....if it weren't snowing and so cold, I would go outside and check it....

After I wrote yesterday, my husband tested it tightening a hose and said it worked.

It probably could. Problem I have with it is that it doesn't fit larger bottle caps well, such as that on a plastic milk carton.

i only use to open tight water bottles and it works great. it's heavy plastic and i don't know how it would work in reverse. if it weren't so cold i would have my husband try it for you. i would guess a wrench might be better.

I do not think it would work - would not tighten correctly, probably be at a strange angle, and would probably be dangerous for whoever was trying to use it.

I don't think it would work on water pressure a pipe like that would have.I used it on a garden hose, and it stopped my leak as long as I didn't have the hose under pressure, soon as I put a nozzle on it, water just seeps out from under the tape.

I am pretty sure I use mine for that green hose that expands and is very light weight ( the new kind as seen on tv) I have one looks great on patio , well made , would recommend .

I had to attach mine to a threaded coupling but I would bet just the hose and a clamp would work.

That's what I use it for as well as taped it to a 100 ft garden hose. It works really well on both.

Possibly. Used mine to pull off a rusted on sleeve on rear axle bolt. It did get it off without tool snapping or bending. Tough set of pullers. Nice to have a set of different size pullers to meet needs of job.

Note that if the hose comes detached from an end connector, you may be able to twist the hose right back on like you thread a screw. If you have an otherwise damaged hose (cut, torn, crimped) then you can ignore this answer.

Yes, it can and should be tightened. I bought a special adjustable, long nosed wrench at the hardware and it worked fine. I'm sure a pair of adjustable pliers will also work.

This might work but it depends on how much incline you need to overcome. It works very well for the few feet in my boat. Not sure how much you can pressurize it to pump that fr. I dont think there is any specific hose. You could probobly rig something up with garden hose and duct tape or perhaps find an adapter for it at the hardware store.

I'm sure that it would. We have used it for all kinds of stuff & it has never failed. We are going to fix our garden hoses with it.

You probably could, but why? You can buy some cheap garden hose clamps that only require a screwdriver. These cinch clamps are designed to be pinched around PEX, and pex is a much firmer material than rubber garden hose. You may end up with a crimp that's too tight and it breaks/tears your garden hose

Not sure about that. It would have to be round and you would need the appropriate size. Try a garden hose with a nozzle on the end.

I attached a male garden hose nub to the end of my hose. I've attached a picture to prove that it can be done. I used a male ended 3/4 inch poly hose fitting. I put a little electrical tape on the end of the fitting, and tightened it down the plastic clamp. I transferred 110 gallons of water (2 drums) into my RV with any leaks or problems.

I doubt it. I had two of these and both broke. Waste of money. Hose needs to be light weight and rigid.

I would think so. The outflow of the unit is threaded metal. Then they add a plastic female/male swivel adapter that you connect you hose to. I guess the swivel action is supposed to prevent stress on the hose-washer connect to prevent leaks, but it still will a little and you'll have to tighten it or try the brass that you're suggesting. Once it's on tight it only leaks a very small amount, but it can and probably will loosen.

No. This timer is for solenoid valves used for sprinkler systems. It is not compatible with a garden hose.
