I'm dealing with a leaky hose and would love some suggestions on how to fix it instead of just buying a new one. Any tips or DIY repair ideas?

First off, where's the leak? If it's at the female end, you might want to check if you can replace just that part. It's actually pretty straightforward—you can cut the damaged end off and replace it with a new one from a hardware store. They usually have connectors that can create a solid seal. Also, it might help to know that heavy rubber hoses tend to last much longer if you're considering a future purchase. Let me know if you need more help!
I'd definitely recommend going for heavy rubber hoses if you need a new one in the future. They really hold up well! But for now, attaching a replacement end should do the trick. And if you can, post some pics; it might help in getting more specific advice on the repair.
I can confirm, those heavy hoses are great. I had one last for years without a single issue!

Thanks for the tip about cutting and replacing! I'll definitely check out my local store for those ends.
