This thing has been great for my large garden, but the metal broke at the point where it attaches to a hose. Are there hose adapters I could screw in or something like that? I also thought about just cutting a hose and using something to permanently sleeve it onto this broken part. Any ideas on how to save this beauty?

In the plumbing aisle, you can find rubber couplings of many sizes. They use hose clamps to tightly grip anything cylindrical. In the same aisle, you’ll find the parts that will get you to the female garden hose thread you need. Ask for help. Should be easy fix.
Heavy duty is generous.
I would think a piece of PVC could fit in there well to create a new leg.
yeah, hose adapters or plumbing ‘boot’s it will be easier than you think.
Yup… these will definitely break. I’ve had a few, they’re great… still want something more heavy duty though. I’ll probably have to make it because the actual commercial/industrial farm grade ones are very very expensive.
Cut the flare off. Slide the metal part back up. Then you cam re-flare the end with a flaring tool.
Give it a leg up
