No. It was a decently priced hose. Solid build with a double reinforcing layer.

Good hose has 5 layers.

I bought it after giving up on those flat reel hoses which didn't
last long at all and ended up more suited as garden sprinklers. Either
something has pierced this one or there was a weak spot.

Anything will seem better quality than flat hose.

I've just had another idea of my own.

When I was working on aircraft we used a product know as Heat-Shrink which
was used on cable looms. A plastic tube that shrinks when heated. If I can
find a bit of that of sufficient diameter in my 'bits box' I could try
shrinking that over the hole - with maybe a dab of glue or sealant to help
secure the seal.

If it works I may market it as a 'Hose Repair Kit' and become a
millionaire (by this time next year).

The message

Almost anything - I'd guess that it'd beat a watering can.
