Flexi Hose Lightweight Expandable Garden Hose - Ultimate No-Kink Flexibility - Extra Strength with 2 cm Solid Brass Fittings & Double Latex Core - Rot, Crack, Leak Resistant - 15 Metres

So good

Very well made and without doubt one of - if not THE best of - it's type; DON'T be tempted to scrimp on cheep immitations as you'll regret it (ask me how I know!). Using this is sooooo much less hassle than a bulky, cumbersome, heavy and unweildy plastic hose - it's actually a joy to use. The only thing (for me), was that the brass end nozzle (the end with the on-off lever), has an EXTERNAL 3/4 inch (19mm, I believe), dhread (as do all these types of hose with brass fittings I've seen), and no garden centre or shop I could find locally had a spray gun (or any other type) of attachment to fit this; it seems most only sell the type designed to grip onto a platic hose. Such fittings ARE available, but from my own experience it's very likely you'll need to order one on-line, and they are about £10.00 to £15.00. So, not a fault, just a potential "keep in mind" thing. I would most certainly not go back to a rubber hose UNLESS when you use the hose, it is likely to trail over soil or other dirty surface, as all fabric covered hoses will pick up the dirt and are not that easy to clean (which is about the ONLY merit a conventional hose now has in my book!). P.S. - in use, make sure before you use it, with the nozzle end closed, you turn the tap on and let the hose extend fully before using it. Similarly, when you've finished, leave the nozzle end open when you turn the tap off, and let the hose shrink back down again. A brilliant piece of kit!

Decent quality but the 3/4” male stop cock end is impossible to find a click connector adapter for.

Very good and does not tangle up

As my current expensive expanding hose sprung a leak at the join between the hose and metal ends I decided to just go for an inexpensive one that had the highest number of reviews (13k). This would have been fine if it had been a standard size but is actually as far as I can see US sizes so I would have had to buy extras that I understand are circa £7-£10. So to go back a bit - on receiving the hose I opened the box and could see that the tab opener had been opened several times, the bag it should have been in was at the bottom of the box , the hose was all tangled and although it didn’t seem to have been used one end was slightly stretched. I took it out to the back door and tried to attach it to the dual ended hose adaptor I use, there was no way it was going to fit. I then took the dual ended adaptor off and tried again directly to the tap, still no luck so back in the box it went to be returned. To be honest from the experience I have I know this hose would not have lasted being taken across my hard landscaping as the material was quite thin round the tubing.

Great

I purchased this item last week and it all looks good but none of my spray guns can connect to it. I would like to buy a spray gun or suitable connector but the seller's website "ask a question" does not work/broken link!

Good quality product, came with brass fittings a free wall hanger and spray.
