Has anyone seen one of these or have a better way to tighten.

I've seen that sort of thing molded onto some hose ends, but I don't recall ever seeing such a thing
for sale as a separate tool.
You might try buying a little package of red rubber washers. With a new washer, you won't have to tighten as much to get a good seal. Buy a package of ten or twenty and they'll last for years. You could put some in the trailer and use the rest at home.

Because the rubber ones are a bit stiffer, you might need to get a bit creative and use a little stick or something to push them into the coupler end.
There are also cheap plastic washers available that are red-colored; they are soft and won't last very long, so try to find some red rubber ones. As an example, I would recommend against buying ones labelled as being mde of polyester.
