Its a good idea to cut first and take in the old fitting.
Garden hose comes in several different inside diameters, so
matching the repair fittings to the hose is a good thing.
For the 90 degree bend, there are hose fittings
to normal pipe fitting adapter. You might need to get
creative with a couple fittings to get that. Or
look into washing machine hoses. Same as garden hose
fittings, and some come with a hard 90 degree bend
so they don't get crimped between the washer and wall.
Then its just splicing that end into your normal hose on the reel.
Try your favorite local hardware store and be ready
to get creative with fittings.
You might, maybe be able to find a tap and die for
cutting new threads, but probably only at some
specialty house, and very expensive. Most
of those threads seemed to be stamped or molded,
not cut with a traditional tap and die set.

You can get hose repair kits at garden centers and big box stores. Usually, you cut off the damaged end, then attach the replacement with just a screwdriver, or no tools at all. Make sure you get the same type end, male or female.

I have stripped the threads on the connector for my garden hose. Is there any way to cut new ones?
If not is there a way to take this thing apart and buy a new connector?
The cross threaded piece connects to a hose on the side of the unit and then bends 90 degrees to offer a male end for the garden hose. Then the drum turns and the hose gets wound around the drum for storage.
