Skywalker, that is exactly what I was talking about at the beginning of this thread. I have two in my tool box right now, along with 4 clamps for them.
A screw into the hole is not likely to work. Once the hose has begun to wear through, the wall of the hose is too thin to support a screw. You could end up with an UN-GUIDED MISSILE instead of a repair. Watch out for the RICK-O-SHAY...
mike3fan, I've heard of that "RESCUE TAPE" before, but never looked into it. To be able to withstand 700 PSI is respectable... But, if you can stretch it by hand, 120 PSI of air pressure is likely to stretch it out enough that air will do the same, and air will leak out where the tape could pull away from the hose. A few wraps, and a couple of hose clamps could be a good answer, if it's all it's cracked up to be.
