Burn a hole in your pressure washer hose? Fittings leaking? Don't throw it away! It can be easily fixed in a little over 6 minutes with basic hand tools. All necessary parts linked below:

I also found 2packs of them from an eBay merchant for $15 here if Amazon's prices fluctuate https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lotof2Gat...

http://amzn.to/2ftLkuP M22 Adapter for Pressure Washer I paid $7.99

For this repair, I used a Gates 1/4" swivel male compression fitting (specific model linked above) and a M221/4" female fitting. Together, these parts were less than $15, and can be used over and over if you repeatedly break your hose (by burning it against the exhaust like I did). You can also add in the optional quick connect fitting above if you want to make it quicker to attach your hose to your pressure washer

Disclaimer: These hoses are under a lot of pressure, and there are inherent dangers to repairing your own hoses. While this has worked for me, there's still risks to do this, and I personally would only use a repaired fitting on the end of the hose that attached to the pressure washer body. Do not use a repaired fitting on the wand end of the hose if it blows off while using it, it's right night to your body and you could be seriously injured. There are many factors to consider when making this kind of repair (pressure, hose size, fitting size, hose style, etc) so do so at your own risk.
