Fixing a Punctured Garden Hose in 3 Minutes!

One of my garden hoses sprang a leak. On closer inspection it looks like a hole was punctured into its wall. I suspected one of my doggies was the culprit here.

Read on for how I did a quick fix to this leak.

Step 1: The Tools and Materials.

The stuff I used to fix this leak are as follows;

A scissors.
A flat blade screwdriver.
A hose clamp.
A roll of self adhering rubber tape (I used electrical grade tape but there is also rescue tape).

Step 2: Applying the Rubber Tape.

I cut a length of the rubber tape and applied it firmly to the leak spot. I made sure to keep the rubber surface free of dirt for proper sealing onto itself.

Step 3: Clamping It Down.

I put a hose clamp to keep pressure applied at all times.

Step 4: Completion.

Now with my water pump on, there is no leak. All this done in 3 minutes or less!
