Yes, you can fix a garden hose with a crushed end fitting caused by a nameless car driver who drove over the end of the hose rendering it useless. The hose itself was just fine, it simply needed surgery to remove and replace the fitting.
To replace a damaged hose fitting with a new one made of brass, a handyman will charge $45, which includes labor and material. A homeowner can buy the fitting for $6, make the fix and save 87 percent. This job is a perfect DIY job for a first timer because little talent and few tools are required. Plus, it’s such a quick and easy repair you’d be hard-pressed to find someone to do it.
