Yes, but it will most likely break again. Once they start doing that it's all downhill from there..........

If a shop will not repair the hose, and a lot won't due to liability, try a reusable end. You will need to get the end of the hose in good enough shape for you to get the outer end casing of the end over, but screw it on, and then screw in the inside part. It is a really tight fit to get these things on, and is not really easy, but it will last.
A couple of hints:
1. When you are putting on the outer part, have the inner part screwed in a couple of threads, and screw the whole thing in. It will "guide" itself into the hose that way.
2. If you use some sort of silicone spray, it will sometimes make it easier.
3. Big Bolt cutters are the easiest way to cut a hose in the field, without a cutoff saw. A hacksaw does work, jsut make sure the blade is sharp and fine toothed.
Good luck

hose ends
I have had a couple of hose ends put on my hoses from Northern that are more than 2 years old. I have had no prob with any of them. One was repaired and run the same day for 15 hours at 200 degrees and is still in service (8 months). I have them repaired at a local gas company. They always tell me "I dont think this will hold too long" but they always do. Good Luck...

Hose repair
Reusable hose repair kits are available for R1 and R2 hoses. They are stronger than crimped ends and you can repair hoses in the field with a hack saw and cresent wrenches.
