Need a new hose pipe?

Hi all,

Just thought i'd share this one with you.

I've been on the hunt for a new hose pipe, the 30m one i brought from wilkos only lasted a few months... that will teach me for buying cheap!

Well i've found an online company selling hose's at very reasonable prices.

Kingfisher 50m hose pipe (yellow) with a 25 year guarantee.

Call that a Hosepipe, This is a hosepipe..:D




50m, 1 tug and it rewinds, Class :gnthb:

 

£15 for 50m of good quality hose.. so how much for the posh Gardena one?

 

A Lot Terrier :wink: £80...:p

 

Just had an e-mail to say they are out of stock and don't know when they are getting more in :(

VERY annoying esp in this hot weather when i dont have a hose!!

 

WoW Shiney, youv'e had your money's worth there.. Brilll.. I was sick of buying cheap hoses that didn't wind up without gett'n in a knot or leaking, So i bought this with a long Guarantee (can't remember how long) I pull it once and no matter how twisted it is it reels back in.. only downside is its quite heavy to pull out but my sis bought the 30m one £50 and its a thinner hose and easier to pull out.. Its the second best thing iv'e bought for my garden.. My TF is THE First

 

I have to agree with YDD - I also have a self retracting hose and its one of the best things I have brought for the garden. Saves so much time and effort

Worth every penny !!

 

As it's on the allotment i dont need to wind it in, really it's all about price and with a 25 year guarantee i suspect it can't be beaten.

I've ordered it from another place now as they have stock....

Food for thought with that lot...I'm having trouble with the Hozelock fittings wearing out on the reel connection and flying off under the pressure ,I've had to resort to a more reliable method of unwinding the hose......ME!:D

 

Maybe use all-brass connectors instead? More expensive, but given longevity probably cheaper in the long run.

 

At the moment I am using a 10 metre hose that I think was from Lidl. Itâ??s a good quality hose! Looks similar to the kingfisher one. Much better than the cheap carp one from woollies! Kinked all the time and stays the same shape.

Did have a hozelock one but it got damaged so started to use the cheap woollies one. The hozelock hose was a good one. One thing I learned is never buy a cheap hose! The same goes for the connectors! I have hozelock connector that could be 7 years old and still work fine! Who knows how many times they have been stood on. All that I have needed to change is the rubber o ring in the stop connector.
