Sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes a curse, but I live in a city with 90 lbs. of water pressure. One fine day our beloved dog decided to bite through our one and only hose and when we went to turn the water on a 20 foot stream blasted out of the hole rendering the hose useless. Although it was funny at first, my wife became rather unhappy when she realized that her urgent cleaning project would be delayed. Then, like a bolt of lightening, I remembered the EternaBond emergency repair kit which I had never used. After wrapping the hose twice with the aluminum-backing tape, we crossed our fingers and turned the water on... ureka! The tape worked and my wife was able to get on with her project while I went out to get a new hose.
